So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset.
That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia".
It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. A Condé spokeswoman also declined to comment.The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. Massenet didn’t return a request for comment through the British Fashion Council. Her groundbreaking retail site, while still losing money, had revenue of around $500 million a year. Shortly after founding Net-A-Porter, a glossy fashion magazine on the Web, in 2000, she persuaded fashion designers including Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Chloé and Jimmy Choo to embrace online luxury fashion retailing when few were doing so.īy 2014, she also started the quarterly Porter print magazine. Massenet is seen as a savvy executive in a world that Condé is striving to figure out. But if the talks come to fruition, the source said, “she’d work alongside Anna.” “The conversation is happening,” said another source, adding that the scuttlebutt is coming from a well-placed Condé insider. “They are very good friends,” said one insider of the WintourMassenet connection. Longtime creative director of Vogue and 2) a rather interesting political fundraiser being hosted by Massenet in London for Hillary Clinton.įormer first daughter Chelsea Clinton plans to be there along with Wintour, who also has a broader role as Condé Nast’s artistic director. While those rumors now appear groundless, renewed buzz that she is headed to Vogue in some capacity is being spurred by two events: 1) the recent semi-retirement of Grace Coddington, the Speculation that the reporter-turned-entrepreneur would replace Anna Wintour atop American Vogue started almost immediately after she left Net-A-Porter. The 50-year-old executive consoled herself with $153 million from her stock selloff and has been occupying her time as the chairwoman of the British Fashion Council. She reportedly clashed with Federico Marchetti, who was tapped to be chief executive of the combined company, derailing plans for her to stay on as chairwoman after the deal closed in October. She surprised the fashion world when she abruptly resigned from the Richemont-owned UK company in September in the middle of a merger with Yoox, an Italian e-commerce rival. Rumors are flying again that Natalie Massenet, the founder of the groundbreaking luxury fashion e-commerce site Net-A-Porter, may soon be heading to American Vogue.
