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.

Celebrity Style: Hana Soukupova

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Czech model Hana Soukupova showed her pretty face at Radar Entertainments fashion division launch party. But what I'm more captivated by is her cool black-and-white outfit, complete with a sheer scarf and black leather boots. The tuxedo tank brings in an androgynous air, while her black mini dress shows off her feminine stems. Model perfection, I say!

LAURA CLÉMENT Button-front Tank - $19.99	Generra Deep V Dress - $245.00
Ikat Printed Scarf - $28.00	Apepazza 'Barbara' Patent Leather Bootie - $168.95

Model of the Week, Victoria's Secret Edition: Hana Soukupova

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Along with Lauren Conrad and Hayden Panettiere, I got a chance to chat with Hana Soukupova at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Born December 18, 1985, this Czech beauty is known for her blue eyes and her long, slender limbs. No wonder she's a VS model! She resides in New York with her husband Drew Aaron and is currently the face of Agnona Fall/Winter '07/'08.

Be sure to read about Hana's beauty secrets too!

Heels!

You feel the sexiest when...

Model of the Week: Hana Soukupova

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 12:23:33 -0800

Welcome to the fourth installment of Model of the Week. I've written a five question interview that I have conducted with several high profile models to share with you. The questions are both fun and beauty related and will always remain the same. Don't forget to check out the past three installments featuring Jessica Stam, Caroline Winberg and Carolyn Murphy.

Here's a little about the up and coming runway model Hana Soukupova. Hana was born in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, on December 18th, 1985. She was a competitive basketball player until she entered the modeling arena through a Prague agency at the age of 15.

Hana has extremely long limbs and a delicate look about her. She has become a huge success over the last five years and continues to work incessantly.

You may recognize her from her campaigns for: Gucci, Jill Stuart, Tse, Carolina Herrera and Versace or from her Vogue, Elle and Bazaar covers. She has also graced the catwalk of many couture runways.

Hana stays in shape and gets rid of stress by hitting a punching bag she had installed in her apartment and she connects with her creative side by taking pottery classes in NYC.

BELLA: What is your secret to beautiful skin and hair?
HS: The best secret for a healthy complexion is an egg white face mask which firms the skin and replenishes your pores. My favorite home made secret for shiny hair is a conditioner made from a spoonful of yogurt, olive oil & lemon. It may seem crazy but I swear it works!

BELLA: What is the one product that you can't live without?
HS: I can't live without my special face cream from Avene which I put on my skin several times a day (probably too often). It can only be purchased in France. Whenever I come back from Paris my bag is full of nothing but the little glass bottles of the cream.

BELLA: What is your guilty pleasure?
HS: Bags! Big or small, new or vintage, you can never have enough purses. They last forever and even after a few seasons you can break them out and re-introduce them.

BELLA: What is your favorite drugstore product?
HS: I love the European beauty and body product shops as they have some things that you cannot buy in a local New York pharmacy. Whenever I am abroad I buy all kinds of different cool products from head to toe they always have something I can’t resist trying.

BELLA: Happiness is...
HS: Happiness is leaving the gym after a great work out, a big breakfast followed by grocery shopping which is truly my favorite hobby. I can spend hours in Whole Foods and do more damage there than in Prada.

Model Mania at Met's Costume Institute Gala!

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 11:29:43 -0700

Models are always welcomed at Met's Costume Institute Gala, but since last night's exhibit was all about them, they felt way more at home. Current models like Hana Soukupova, Coco Rocha, and Isabeli Fontana mixed and mingled with classics like Stella Tennant, Alek Wek, and Maggie Rizer, as well as old-school Supers Amber Valletta, Kristen McMenamy, and Nadja Auermann (left). It was a site to be seen; one that melted my heart. Every one of them ruled, and one young blond model even came on the arm of a Hollywood actor! Let the model mania begin . . .

Model of the Week, Victoria's Secret Edition: Isabeli Fontana

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Along with models Hana Soukupova and Angela Lindvall, Bella and I got a chance to catch up with Brazilian beauty Isabeli Fontana at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The blue-eyed bombshell, born July 4, 1983, made it to the finals of the Elite Model Look Contest at the age of 13 in Brazil. The following year, she moved to Milan and that's where her modeling career took off. Soon after, Isabeli appeared in a Victoria's Secret lingerie catalog at a mere 16, though the company's policy stated that it wouldn't hire models under 21-years-old. Controversy proved beneficial for the mother of two as she's still modeling for VS as well as for other majors like Versace, Valentino, and Ralph Lauren.

What is your preferred style of panty?
I feel sexy in thongs, the less coverage the sexier. I really like lace.

What do you want for Christmas?
I will think big: I would love to have a contract!

You feel the sexiest when...
I feel sexiest when I have very nice clothes on, like a long elegant dress.
