Brandon Holley in November conducting a meeting at Lucky on fashion blogs.
As a teenager in Great Falls, Va., Ms. Holley would cram Ralph Lauren outfits bought by her preppy mother into a drawer so she could attend punk shows at the 9:30 Club in Washington wearing a ripped T-shirt and jeans. “The sides of my head were shaved,” she recalled recently over beer and brussels sprouts at a restaurant near her house in Red Hook, Brooklyn. “You can imagine in the ’80s how I looked.”
In her 20s, Ms. Holley tried designing some items, including a fur bikini, for her all-girl band, Bikini Machine (later renamed Gangster of Love), but the other members refused to wear them onstage. “There was a revolt,” she said.
Today, after 15 years editing magazines like Jane and ElleGirl and a brief stint at Yahoo, Ms. Holley, 44, a blond, off-kilter beauty, now goes to work in Marc Jacobs skirts, Prada blouses and Dries Van Noten shoes. “I’ve developed a healthy sidelong glance at the fashion industry,” she said. “I love fashion and I love clothes and I love the way people dress, but I don’t cry at a Marc Jacobs show.”
That attitude would not be considered politic at, say, Vogue. But at Lucky, where Ms. Holley arrived in September after the sudden, somewhat mysterious departure of Kim France, the magazine’s founding editor, it counts as a qualification."
