NEW YORK FASHION WEEK – FALL 2018
Backstage at Bottega Veneta
It was a unanimous decree: No date-night prep is complete without diligent hydration. "I like to balm my lips—they need to be soft!" Edie Campbell said, but she's firm on going au naturel with color if romance is in the cards. Otherwise, she joked, "it's basically like taking a Sharpie to someone's face!"

VOGUE – 9 FEBRUARY 2018
Need a Hero? Let Edie Campbell and Christabel MacGreevy Introduce You to Their Female Muses
In 2015, a model and an artist started a fashion company. They called it Itchy Scratchy Patchy, and together, they made irreverent patches, T-shirts, and accoutrements spotted all over London and New York. Sounds normal enough, but in the nearly three years since, Edie Campbell and Christabel MacGreevy’s label has evolved far beyond the cute, tongue-in-cheek territory it once occupied, becoming a fully-fledged fashion brand with heart. Today, its latest collection, titled Heroes, lands in Dover Street Market New York.
“Where we started was very playful and irreverent and kind of sarcastic, and this is definitely much more heartfelt and kind of more sincere,” said Campbell over the phone from London. The pair’s new collection is inspired by five women—Sappho, writer Jeanette Winterson, journalist Marie Colvin, artist Leonora Carrington, and Boudicca—and utilizes symbols to represent the strengths and virtues of each woman on garments that range from trousers made in collaboration with Dickies to motorcycle gang jackets made with Lewis Leathers.
“They are very singular people, who kind of just grabbed us,” began Campbell. “There’s no particular rhyme or reason to it, they just had characteristics or lives that are very, very—”
“—fascinating,” MacGreevy completed the thought.
“Yes, or potent,” finished Campbell.
The thought behind choosing these five women, who defined and challenged the eras they lived in, was that “when you dress, you’re trying to put on all the kind of traits or ideas or feelings that you want to carry with you throughout the day, and you become a bigger and better person for it,” said Campbell, explaining that each of the women selected has been a personal hero of sorts to both designers.
But don’t call this a girls-only project. Campbell said, “The sense that all the heroes are women, I would hope that wouldn’t exclude certain people from buying into the idea behind it. It certainly didn’t start out with the idea of women. It just ended up that way... They’re important to us—”
“—and they should be important to all men!” cheered MacGreevy.
Campbell offered a quick follow-up: “They’re not important to us as women, they’re important to us as extraordinary human beings.”

EVENING STANDARD – 5 FEBRUARY 2018
Katie Grand on why the #MeToo movement has changed everything, including herself
Editor-in-chief of LOVE magazine Katie Grand talks the latest issue — fashion’s response to #MeToo
“After all the Weinstein stuff came out, it was only a matter of time before people focused on the fashion industry,” says Katie Grand.
Excerpts from the article:
QuoteThe really topical interviews are with Edie Campbell (who is on the cover) and Cameron Russell. After the stories about Richardson’s alleged sexual harassment of models broke last October, Campbell had posted “he wasn’t the only one” on Instagram, which Grand reposted. “Then boys started tagging each other on my Instagram and I felt very uncomfortable with it. I’d just had norovirus and was feeling tired and vulnerable, so I deleted it,” she says.
But after Russell started an Instagram hashtag, #MyJobShouldNotIncludeAbuse, inviting models to share their stories anonymously, the floodgates opened. Campbell published an open letter in Women’s Wear Daily, saying tolerating abuse had to stop and that everyone from the agents to the casting directors should share the blame. “Don’t stay silent. Your inaction is complicity,” she wrote, and that she hoped she had “judged the mood correctly.” Indeed she had. Vanessa Friedman and two other reporters from The New York Times began an investigation that ultimately resulted in last month’s story of male models going on the record about being allegedly abused by Weber and Testino, claims they have denied.
QuoteSo there’s the rub. Put a beautiful model in front of a big cheese photographer or designer and the chances are, concedes Grand, that they will be surrounded by “so many ‘yes’ people who are so scared that they won’t even question a creative ask.” Campbell compared them to the “artist-genius” allowed to behave in any way he sees fit. There’s a hint of regret in Grand’s voice as she describes how she would “usually be the first one with my car keys, hasty to leave, saying ‘OK, we’ve got the pictures, when there were stories of people sitting drinking till 2am. So I started thinking, should I have told everybody to go home? It was my shoot. Especially at the end of last year; it was the first time I’d ever really scrutinised things.”
QuoteShe concedes that she can be an exacting and difficult editor at times. “I’m trying to be nicer,” she says, laughing. “And I didn’t shout on this issue.” She also admits she has been frightened of Naomi Campbell “from time to time”, of Tom Ford — “he’s powerful, scary and clever” — and of Edie Campbell (“she can make you feel stupid”).
