Don’t know what it is since we saw George May Jagger in London, but the girl keeps doing things to catch our attention. Now the Rolling Stone-daughter is confirmed as the new face of Versace. Following her mother’s footsteps who did Versace with Richard Avedon in the early days.
In 2003 Dutch model Rianne ten Haken‘s star was rising. She made the covers of Numero and Vogue Italia, featured in the La Perla campaign… Then it became a bit quiet, and now she’s back!
Ever wondered why the split between the teeth of Lara Stone suddenly became a charming beauty-flaw? She wasn’t the first designer-muse with that special mark. A long time ago some girl just popped out of nothing singing a song called ‘Joe le Taxi’. Her name was Vanessa Paradis. Not a striking beauty, but a particular little bird with a good bonestructure and a split between her teeth. Then the bird got caged by Jean Paul Goude to promote the Coco Chanel fragrance. In 2003 she promoted the collection of Chanel Cambon bags, and now this succesful singer, mother, actress and wife of Johnny Depp will show off her typical smile to promote ‘les rouges’ Chanel: the gorgeous red lipsticks of the brand.
In Holland we don’t do Halloween. I don’t know why. Maybe we don’t like the fact that you have to put pumpkins in your garden? The only pumpkins we like are the pumpkins in the pumpkin-pie yesterday at the presentation of Gan-Baroo PR.
During the London Fashion Week we spotted two Mulberry models on the streets of Mayfair.
Here’s a great way to start your weekend: looking at goodlooking guys for the 9 Countries 9 Men CK Underwear casting at the Bijenkorf department store.
I am always curious what Marc Jacobs is going to come up with for the Louis Vuitton show. After last seasons bunny ears, this time it’s all about massive afro-wigs and again…clogs! But different and funny, with hairy details, straps or a small metal heel.
The clothes were less luxury Vuitton like we’re used to, but had more of a fresh , sporty and urban look. Jacobs describes it as: ”80s and ’90s New Age traveller and street clothes, embracing the hippie-cyber, tribal-punk world.” Definitely a mash up of styles and a little Indian/Native American touch to it, with moccassins and Davy Crockett-like coloured racoon tails hanging down the bags.
If you don’t belong to the ‘bloggers/fashion hall of fame’, forget about getting in at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week. Only VIF (Very Important Fashionalities) may enter the Ghesquière kingdom. I know for a fact, because I’ve tried a few seasons ago. Flirting and joking with the security guy didn’t help (it just got me in at Ann Demeulemeester).
Can’t really explain what aura Nicholas Ghesquière has created around the brand, but it’s known as one of the most fashion forward brands. Where other designers are chewing on past trends, Balenciaga is all about innovation.
At a Somerset House Fashion Party in London we spotted Georgia May Jagger. Yup, the daughter of rock-icon Mick. First I thought it was Lara Stone. With her blond curls and big mouth se could be Lara’s younger sister.
