@SummerFridays has revealed the secret to their success as they bring on their first investor. ⁣ ⁣ The influencer brand has found that expanding beyond influencer marketing — oftentimes to IRL activations — has helped it build its community.⁣ ⁣ The skin-care brand was launched by Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland in 2018, and now has three products: Jet Lag Mask, $48, Overtime Mask, $44 and R+R Mask, $52. ⁣ ⁣ "There’s been magic in building something using a nontraditional roadmap,” Gores said. “Marianna and I obviously don’t come from traditional beauty backgrounds, so we wanted partners who could guide us in those areas that we’re really unfamiliar with, while also pushing us to maintain our approach in using our intuition [and] using our ability to really ask our community what they want from the brand.”⁣ ⁣ Report: @_a_collins . . . . . #wwdbeauty #summerfridays

Are editors reclaiming their status as OG influencers? ⁣ ⁣ With publishing jobs more unstable than ever, editors are cashing in on the reported $6.5 billion influencer marketing sphere, making as much as $1,000 for a single Instagram post and $10,000 for a brand campaign. ⁣ “Note to bloggers who change head-to-toe, paid-to-wear outfits every hour: Please stop. Find another business. You are heralding the death of style.” This was the collective thought of Vogue editors in September 2016, when they took to the Internet to “discuss” that season’s Milan shows in an article titled “Ciao, Milano! Vogue.com’s Editors Discuss the Week That Was.” ⁣ ⁣ Fast forward to 2019 and that script has since flipped as magazine editors and their employers are now working hard to cash in on the influencer space. ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio to hear from editors turned influencers like @alyssainthecity, @lcchan and more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @alexa_tietjen . . . . . . #wwdinfluence #influencer

Anna Wintour is sticking with Condé Nast — and gaining a new title. ⁣ ⁣ Condé’s new chief executive, Roger Lynch, is making sure that the two remaining star editors at Condé Nast — Anna Wintour and David Remnick are there to stay. ⁣ ⁣ Last year, rumors of Wintour’s exit from Condé became so numerous that previous ceo Bob Sauerberg told WWD that she was staying with the company “indefinitely.” While there was some chatter when Lynch was hired earlier this year that Wintour would not want to stay at Condé to work for a new and younger boss, she seems to be fine with it for now.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Kali Hays . . . . . #wwdmedia #annawintour #vougue #condenast

Karen Olivo, who follows in Nicole Kidman's footsteps as Satine in the Broadway adaptation of "Moulin Rouge," was set on living a regular life in Wisconsin when the show came calling. ⁣ ⁣ Initially, the physical differences between her and Kidman also deterred her, but this version of Moulin Rouge is completely different than the movie. ⁣ ⁣ “The character that Nicole Kidman played, she just wanted to get out of the Moulin Rouge so she could be an actress. And I’m the exact opposite: I’m trying to keep the Moulin Rouge’s doors open, and I’m trying to stay as long as I can, which I think is really beautiful. And I think it’s a beautiful sentiment for nowadays: creating a community where it’s unlikely, people that become family members, from all different walks of life,” Olivo said. ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @leighen 📸: @lexieblacklock . . . . . . #wwdeye #moulinrouge #karenolivo

Blu Hunt is a rising face in Hollywood, to be seen next in the new X-Men movie "The New Mutants," who wants to inspire young Native-American girls with her filmmaking.⁣ ⁣ Hunt says she’s very conscious of the racial representation of the roles she is playing and wants to be the role model for Native girls interested in the arts she didn’t have growing up.⁣ ⁣ Her character in the X-Men movie, Danielle Moonstar, is “a really, really good depiction of what it’s like to be a young Native girl now,” Hunt says. “People have this completely skewed perception of what it’s like to live on a reservation. They have no idea what the realities are. It’s either just a very negative thing where people think it’s this scary, impoverished, sad place, or they think it’s teepees. It’s not either of those things. It’s a lot of resilience and it is modern, but there’s still a lot of culture and an appreciation for the past and holding onto that.” ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @leighen ⁣ ⁣ 📸: @dandoperalski⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdeye #bluhunt ⁣ #xmen
