Fab Ad: +J, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

You can't go wrong when you pair affordable, well-tailored clothes with the illustrious Isabeli Fontana. Uniqlo and Jil Sander did just that for the debut of their new line, +J. The Fall '09 campaign, shot by David Sims, catches Isabella absolutely breathtaking in a windblown stance wearing a cozy Chesterfield coat from the collection, which by the way only costs $155! The black-and-white image match +J's simple aesthetic, and check out how her crazy, tousled hair adds a cool twist. Love what you see? The new line, debuting Oct. 1, will also include knitwear, denim, shirts, button-down jackets, and sweaters all priced from $20 to $150.

Fab Ad: Roberto Cavalli, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Roberto Cavalli's Fall ad campaign is a scene we're all too familiar with: paparazzi shots inside nightclubs. Models Isabeli Fontana (a Cavalli favorite; she was in this Fall '09 campaign, too) and Karen Elson reenact today's celeb craze inside the El Morocco nightclub in NYC. Photographer Steven Meisel, whose first time it was working with the designer, was there document the chaos. The guy in the back is clearly choosing to stay out of the altercation, but Isabeli takes matters into her own hands by splashing alcohol at the pesky photogs. And Karen looks like she's about to cause some damage as well. What do you make of all this?

Fab Ad: Missoni Spring '09

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:00:22 -0800

Natasha Poly and Isabeli Fontana's serious faces in Missoni's Spring '09 campaign immediately caught my attention. Shot by Steven Meisel, the models look mannequin-like while wearing an array of Missoni's colorful clothes and accessories. The contrast between Natasha's punchy, pink short set and Isabeli's slate blue ensemble complement one another to perfection. I also fancy their matte makeup palette and ruby red lips. The beach scene is nothing new in Spring campaigns but it works. After all, what girl wouldn't like to picture herself relaxing on the sand in Missoni?

Fab Flash: Gisele Tops List of High-Earning Models in 2008

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:00:08 -0700

Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning models is out, and Gisele takes the top spot again this year.

She has accumulated $35 million (!) in the last 12 months from her former contract with Victoria's Secret, her ads for Versace, a lucrative deal with Max Factor, plus those popular sandals of hers; and that's just to name a few of the sources.

Heidi Klum trails behind in second place with $14 million in earnings, which is no surprise between Project Runway and her Victoria's Secret contract. But the real surprise - to me, anyway - is that Tyra isn't on the list.

1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million
2. Heidi Klum - $14 million
3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima - $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million

To see the rest of the list, read more.

6. Karolina Kurkova - $5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova - $4.8 million
8. Carolyn Murphy - $4.5 million
9. Daria Werbowy - $3.8 million
10. Miranda Kerr - $3.5 million
11. Isabeli Fontana - $3 million
11. Gemma Ward - $3 million
12. Selita Ebanks - $2.7 million
13. Valentina Zelyaeva - $2.3 million
14. Hilary Rhoda - $2 million
15. Liya Kebede - $1.5 million

Fab Flash: Natalia and Isabeli Snag Versace Campaign

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Donatella Versace may be all about celebrities to front her mens line (cough) Patrick Dempsey, but over at Versace womens, it's all about the models. Fab favorites Isabeli Fontana and Natalia Vodianova have been tapped to replace Gisele Bundchen for the Versace Fall ads.

The new duo is shooting with photographer Mario Testino today in Manhattan - perfect, since Donatella's in town for the launch of Versace's menswear. I can't say how glad I am to see models in campaigns again!

Welcoming Karl With Folded Arms

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Folded arms are usually associated with nonchalance and/or moodiness.

While it was somewhat surprising at first glance, it's not entirely shocking that Karl Lagerfeld had the models for his Fall '08 collection walk down the runway with folded arms. It's ironic that the robot-like designer was the one to encourage human qualities in his models.

You will see cue cards backstage telling models to smile and have fun, but you rarely see them mentioning arm movements. It's about time they put those long limbs to use! Karl's girls - Anja Rubik (right), Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Raquel Zimmermann, Ali Stephens, and Karlie Kloss - all did just that and brought some real-life emotions to the otherwise stiff clothes. So is folding arms a new catwalking trend? I guess we'll have to wait and see . . .

Fab Ad: H&M Underwear Fall 2007

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

H&M sure knows how to show off its offering of underpinnings in style. And our Model of the Week Isabeli Fontana knows how to work it. Kimono robes, mini slips, and lacy twin sets all pop against the rich and luscious satin bedding background. Lingerie that looks this luxe and is budget-friendly? This needs to happen more often . . .

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.
