[edit] Early Career
Lisa Love rebelled at an early age. By fifteen she had already befriended Andy Warhol and Diana Vreeland through Michel Negroponte, the documentary film-maker ("Jupiter's Wife"). After being asked to leave her first two British high-schools, she ran away from her third by selling a pair of snake-skin boots for a plane ticket to Paris.[3] In Paris, she joined forces with Negropente, and later moved with him to New York. She moved on to Boston to attend the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where her fellow-students were Nan Goldin, David Armstrong, and Philip-Lorca diCorcia. She studied painting and attended the Skowhegan residency program. Love was discovered as a model in New York by the photographer Arthur Elgort as she walked down the street with a portfolio of her drawings and wearing a Burberry trenchcoat. She returned to Paris to work as a model from 1982-7, and posed for such renowned photographers as Elgort, Helmut Newton, Norman Parkinson, Patrick Demarchelier, and Bruce Weber. She did numerous fashion campaigns including Chanel, Cacharel, Gaultier, and L'Oreal, and was on the cover of French Elle and other European magazines.
[edit] Television and film appearances
At age 27, Love moved from Paris to Los Angeles to take the West coast helm at Interview magazine and to get married. After a few years at "Interview," she began her long tenure as the West Coast Editor for Vogue, Teen Vogue, Men's Vogue and Vogue Living under editor Anna Wintour. Love is most recently known for the brutal characterization of herself on the MTV reality series The Hills.[3] The show's stars, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, worked as interns at Teen Vogue before both left their positions. Love was featured in many scenes as the boss of the magazine, to whom the interns reported.[3]
Love appeared as an "Orlean Dinner Guest" in the 2002 Academy-Award-nominated film Adaptation and in early 2008 wrapped "Funeral Director" directed by Vincent Gallo. [1]
[edit] Career at Vogue
Love has overseen and produced many stories for Vogue, Vogue Living, Teen Vogue and Men's Vogue. In 2007, Love collaborated on "A Celebration of Oscar Fashion" with Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley and fashion editor Lawren Howell. The show presented gowns worn by nominees, winners and presenters at the Academy Awards over the years.[4] Love has been involved with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, an award program that combines a cash prize with business mentoring to promote young American talent.[5]
