Have you ever wondered what the Publisher of LUCKY magazine looks like?

Well wonder no more because here she is.. at least until MONDAY when she starts her new job as the CEO of Fairchild publications (you know.. WWD— our Bible!). And although these two may look like sisters, they are not from the same family- unfortunately for Francine (Ballard of DesignerSocial- featured here, right). Gina is a Newhouse.. as in Si Newhouse who owns Advance Publications, the parent company of Conde Nast (ie Vogue, Glamour, Allure, Lucky etc..).

She will most certainly be missed at Lucky (we hear it’s a dark week there), but we think she will KICK BUTT over at the holy fashion land. Gina- do us proud! We live for our Accessories Supplement!!

-As of this post, Gina’s successor at Lucky had not yet been named.

As reported today by WWD, Subversive’s Justin Giunta will be the new Design Director of Jewelry for Tory Burch. The seven year old label has met with considerable commercial success in it’s own right by subscribing to a self-proclaimed edict of “more is more”. His first collection for Tory will debut for holiday-resort this year, and his unique, handcrafted, collage-y design aesthetic should lend a much needed synergistic edge to the ubiquitous “teetering on mass” fashion label.
