Is Naomi Posing In Dennis Basso's Fur Ad Hypocritical?
Naomi Campbell has everyone talking again. The once-PETA poster girl has hooked up with fur designer Dennis Basso to model his Fall '09 ad campaign. "During these economic times, we wanted to take the opportunity to be noticed — to show we are here and here to stay," Basso said.
Fab Face: Dree Hemingway
Dree Hemingway. You surely recognize her surname. This model-of-the-moment's great grandfather is Ernest (the famous writer, yes) and her mother is actress Mariel Hemingway.
Girls on Film: American Dreamin', W, December '08
In honor of the Fourth of July, I bring you a special edition of Girls on Film: W's American Dreamin' editorial in the Dec. '08 issue. It features the hottest crop of models — Eniko Mihalik, Lara Stone, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sessilee Lopez, and Aline Weber — taking on confident all-American characters.
Fab Ad: J Brand, Fall '09
One of our favorite androgynous models, Freja Beja Erichsen, has been selected as the new face of J Brand. True, she sports fancy clothes on the catwalk, but since her street style is laid-back cool, this partnership makes sense. "We wanted people to look at the campaign and feel a sense of lightness and freedom," said Susie Crippen, cofounder and creative director.
Would You Want to Hold Your Baby Before Birth?
Holding baby for the first time is a memory that forever sticks in a mother's mind. While it normally happens at the hospital or home after birth, one man is hoping to help parents-to-be have a hands on experience before their infant arrives. A model maker at London's Royal College of Arts uses ultrasound images and high tech machinery to create models of growing fetuses to encourage bonding for future moms and dads during the prenatal phase.
Celebrity Style: Julia Stegner
German model Julia Stegner made an appearance at Berlin Fashion Week, and what a memorable appearance it was. We've seen ivory blazers before, but she spiced her version up with striped cropped pants with a sheen and Stella McCartney mesh sandals. Dagger and cross necklaces are the ideal accessories; they lend shine and a hint of bad ass.
Viva Bar!
Can, not, resist. It's official: Bar must only live in bikinis. I mean, when it's this good, nothing else matters.
Style Glossary: Shrug
Shrug
A cropped, cardigan-like garment with short or long sleeves, typically knitted. It usually covers less of the body than a vest would, but it is more tailored than a shawl. Some shrugs are tied together just below the bustline, while some are cut off at the sides, making them nothing more than a pair of sleeves joined at the back.
Fab Face: Fernanda Tavares
I've been wanting to give Fernanda the spotlight for a while, but thought hot weather was the more fitting time of year for her. I crushed on Fernanda all throughout college — her heyday was late '90s, early '00s — when the Brazilians had fashion world domination. The sweet-yet-sultry-faced beauty hails from Rio Grande Do Norte and she won the Elite Look of the Year contest at 13.
