Complex: What do you think of the shift from print to Internet? Sites reported a while ago that you said print and retail are over.
Kelly Cutrone: Let me clear that statement up. What I meant by that was that print media as we know it, and knew it, will inevitably change and transform. Twenty years ago, nobody would believe you’d get your news instantaneously and for free. Now you get your news for free. You used to have to buy something called a newspaper. The whole thing about magazines is that for me, magazines are going to become deeper and more tutorial, and the nature of the magazine is going to change. These little blog sites post: “Halle Berry loves Shimmer Me Pink Lipstick at $1.69,” they’re instant hits and they’re going to move product. [What I meant was that] perhaps we would return to the source of the type of publishing that had larger, deeper, more Life/Vanity Fair-esque well stories.
I particularly loved her attitude & trend forecast here. I’d bet she’s right on.
