Fab Face: Barbara Palvin

The curvy, pouty obsession continues.
Check Out Fashion's Rising Star: Model Barbara Palvin 2011-01-31 03:05:05

The curvy, pouty obsession continues. Hungarian model Barbara Palvin had a huge year in 2010, appearing in at least 15 editorials and making her runway debut last February as an exclusive to Prada. The 18-year-old model has the curves of Lara Stone and eyes and lips like Natalia Vodianova. Also like Natalia, her look can transition instantly from teenage innocence and sweetness to grown-up vixen. We expect this year to be even bigger for Barbara, and we can't wait to see where she walks for upcoming Fall 2011 shows. Click through our slideshow to see some of Barbara's most gorgeous editorials.

The Latest Spring 2011 Ads — Joan Smalls and Malgosia Bela for Stella McCartney, Erin Wasson for Elie Saab, Plus More

>> Stella McCartney is known for her quirky, even cartoony campaigns, and this time, she enlisted Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to shoot Joan Smalls and Malgosia Bela for Spring 2011.

>> Stella McCartney is known for her quirky, even cartoony campaigns, and this time, she enlisted Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to shoot Joan Smalls and Malgosia Bela for Spring 2011. The ads show Bela wearing nothing but a collage of blown-up images of McCartney's Spring fruit print or Smalls wearing a swimsuit-shaped collage of pastel-colored suit lapels. “I wanted to play with the purity and realism of the citrus print from summer 2011….exaggerating the scale and playing with the female form in its purest form, as nature intended,” McCartney told WWD. A look at that, plus Erin Wasson's minimalist turn for Elie Saab, Patricia van der Vliet's maximalist turn for Sonia Rykiel, and Raquel Zimmermann and Freja Beha Erichsen for H&M, all in the gallery.

Mind the Gap: What 5 Top Models Share

Lindsey Wixson just debuted as the face of Jill Stuart for Spring 2011, thus confirming our belief that she is crushing it.
Lindsey Wixson, Lara Stone, and Abbey Lee Kershaw Make Gap Teeth Cool

Lindsey Wixson just debuted as the face of Jill Stuart for Spring 2011, thus confirming our belief that she is crushing it. What is so captivating about the Fab model crush? It has something to do with that pouty mouth. And she shares an endearingly human trait with fellow It models Abbey Lee Kershaw, Georgia May Jagger, Vanessa Paradis, and Lara Stone: gap teeth! While we can now officially be mad at our parents for making us wear braces in middle school (we knew it was a bad idea!), we also have to applaud these models for taking what could have been viewed as a flaw and making it one of their most compelling characteristics. To prove it, we put together a slideshow of the girls in all their gap-toothed glory. Madonna would be proud.

See Lara Stone's New Calvin Klein Collection TV Commercial

>> For the first time ever, Calvin Klein Collection is getting its own TV commercial — a rarity for designer collections — and Calvin Klein face Lara Stone stars in it, alongside Tyson Ballou.

>> For the first time ever, Calvin Klein Collection is getting its own TV commercial — a rarity for designer collections — and Calvin Klein face Lara Stone stars in it, alongside Tyson Ballou. There are 15-, 30-, 60- and 90-second spots, directed by Fabien Baron and filmed in La Jolla, California, which will be unveiled on television during pre-Golden Globes red carpet coverage on Sunday, run through the live Globe awards broadcast, and then continue to be shown after the awards in 200 additional times.

And it seems that this commercial has legs — Calvin Klein CEO and president Tom Murry expects the clip to be usable well past the Spring 2011 season: “We feel it has a fairly extensive shelf life and we can run it again this year, or next year. This is iconic Calvin product. We can run it in Milan or in Tokyo, or around a store-opening event, for instance. It really has multiple usages.”

A first look at that — plus Daria Werbowy for Celine by Juergen Teller (left), and Lara Stone exercising her Calvin Klein exclusive for the second season running — among the latest batch of Spring 2011 ad images.
