Models Shake It For a Polaroid Picture

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Something about viewing go-see Polaroids of models seems invasive, but cool. It's almost like getting a sneak peek of your favorite models in the comfort of their own home, without tons of makeup, without all the serious posing. For those who aren't familiar with modeling jargon, a go-see is an appointment arranged by the model or her agency as an opportunity to interview with clients. Models are asked to keep their face bare and their clothes simple and form-fitting. That's because designers and magazine editors want to see the real girl, sans all the fluff. Here are a bunch of go-see Polaroids that cast a new light on some of your favorite models, including Gemma Ward (left), Erin Wasson, and Daria Werbowy.

What Was She Thinking?!

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Welcome to the . . . circus? That's what happens when you throw Agyness Deyn, Caroline Trentini, Gemma Ward, Iselin Steiro, Lily Donaldson, and Sasha Pivovarova in a park with drag queen-style makeup and colorful clothes that give new meaning to the term mismatched. Fashion Rocks 2007's "In My Tribe" editorial is one big, crazy lovefest outfitted by what looks like House of Holland on acid. Agyness must be in heaven! The funniest is Lily (center), double hoola hooping like she doesn't have a care in the world. All the while, the white bunny rabbits in the back are thinking, I wonder how these models feel about interspecies dating!

Do what you will with this humorous photo; giggle with it, caption it, copy it. Bottom line, have fun!

Style For Style: Removing Nasty Armpit Stains

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Lily Donaldson and Gemma Ward make doing laundry look glamorous, but for those of us in the real world, it's anything but. Whether you're doing it in a ball gown or not, the reality is that yellow pit stains are one of the things that make the process grueling. They're stubborn and a major pain to remove. Plus, they make you look smelly, certainly not a look a Fabby is going for.

Take any aspirin, like Bayer Aspirin Coated Tablets ($5) and drop one tablet in the washing machine before doing laundry. The pill naturally dissolves and helps remove yellow pit stains, and any other stains your clothes may have. Who knew a pill could be so multi-talented?!

Fab Ad: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2008

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Designer ads are getting more and more colorful, and it's making me want to skip Winter and jump straight to Spring. Take Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2008 ads featuring Gemma Ward, Lily Donaldson, and Jessica Stam; they're still very Dolce & Gabbana raw, minus the groping and grinding action. There's something ultra cool about swan-like models clad in luxurious fabrics lounging in a shabby art warehouse. I see beauty in the contradiction between the dramatic and feminine clothes and the cold concrete walls. Do you?

Fab Ad: Valentino Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 05:30:33 -0700

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda. The girls are lookin' good in Va-Va's trademark red dresses and matching red lipstick. Just look at those swooning poses and smoky eyes - there is some serious drama going on here! As the last ad campaign under the now retired designer's direction, I'd say this is the perfect ode to the glamorous Italian fashion house.

In closing, I love how the light is coming through blinds: does anyone else see American Gigolo meets Robert Palmer here?

The inaugural issue of Vogue India hit stands today, featuring Bollywood stars Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Preity Zinta, local supermodels MoniKangana Dutta and Laxmi Menon, and Australian supermodel Gemma Ward all on the cover, shot by fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier.

This new edition of Vogue is expected to be more colorful and more vibrant than the western models, according to Alex Kuruvilla, managing director of Conde Nast India. He also expects it to draw attention to Indian designers, Indian photographers, and even Indian models. The Vogue India woman has the best of both the eastern and western worlds: she wears Jimmy Choo shoes along with her traditional Indian garb.

Fab Ad: Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:20:22 -0700

I have to say, these ads are pretty intense. Believe it or not, that's Gemma Ward under there. I'm not sure how I feel about the muzzle-like knit on her face - I'm sure it has some underlying meaning, but I don't like the symbolism of a woman being muzzled. Especially because I'm not sure what it has to do with the collection's theme: the Scottish highlands. The clothes on the other hand - you know I am loving plaids right now and Gaultier continues to be a mastermind in that department. What do you all think?!

The ads were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and more from this campaign can be seen here.
