Executive Editor, Style.com. New York
Brag Board. Definition: a square-like area featuring cards, anecdotes, mementos et al praising one’s professional work. Nicole Phelps' brag board is certainly one to boast about. "My favourite note on my brag board came about a year ago from Nicolas Ghesquière," says Phelps. "In Style.com's review of his Spring 2012 Balenciaga show I wrote, ‘The fashion set has long worshipped at the altar of Nicolas Ghesquière,' so he signed his letter, ‘Religiously yours.’” Yes—Balenciaga certainly is our temple, too! Phelps is the Executive Editor of Style.com, meaning she’s responsible for updating our digital style bible all day, every day. A front-row fashion show fixture (who is known for her critical yet irreverent international fashion week coverage), Phelps, together with Who What Wear, let us break down her corporate double doors and snap away at her workspace at Fairchild HQ. She’s currently gearing up for the global fashion week grind (rest up sister, it’s only weeks away) and knows that a pristine office is few and far between. Oh, and we love her stacks on stacks of rad coffeetable books and magazines. "I have subscriptions to tons of magazines," she says, "but Paris Vogue is the one that I never toss." We feel you, Phelps. The best way to spot Phelps at the shows? Look for the one carrying the Samsung 3.2 Mega. "Yes, I know it's a relic," Phelps jokes. Don't be fooled, though. Phelps has her iPhone closeby to Instagram her catwalk favourites. (She's partial to uploading pictures with no filter; we're self-confessed Lo-Fi, Hudson and Amaro addicts.) We highly reccomend you follow her (@styledotcomnicole)... especially during fashion week! Religiously yours, The Coveteur.
