Like any scheming young lady, WWD's Sara James spends her rainy days flipping through bridal magazines. A girl's gotta be prepared, after all. But in the July/August issue of Brides, James' daydreaming was interrupted by the uncomfortable image at right: honorary Conde exec Steve Florio and his daughter, Kelly. Kelly, an events coordinator at Vogue, was married in Key Largo in November, an occasion marked with no less than a three-day, Tuscan-themed ceremony with a street fair and an opera and a feature in a Conde publication. So sad to see a young marriage quickly tarnished with media incest.

Brides EIC Millie Bratten says that Florio nothing to do with the decision to feature the wedding. "It all comes down to the bride and groom and what they're doing and where the ideas are," she explains. Of course. And after Cargo folded, Florio's son, Steven J. Florio, quickly got a Conde corporate gig because of his skill with an abacus.
