fashion week make-up

This look is extremely difficult to pull off. In fact, I am pretty certain that any regular woman would look like a circus clown if she tried to re-create it.

Alexa Chung in Teen Vogue

Alexa Chung in Teen Vogue is definitely on the ‘IT-GIRL’ list of 2010.

Zoe Saldana is making raves as an IT-GIRL as well. Especially after her lead in Cameron’s Blockbuster Avatar this lady has cemented her stardust status all over the World.

Who are your IT-GIRLS of the moment?

Freja

Freja Beha Italian Vouge Cover

Freja Beha on the cover of Italian Vouge March 2010

This Danish model (top 3 on models.com) has a very strong look and a beauty that is not easy to define. This picture from Italian Vouge though is so classy and very very beautiful. I’ve met Freja backstage at fashion shows and she is a very cool girl.

Purple Magazine has featured Freja Beha in a story about Androgyny. I usually root for more curvaceous girls than Freja, but I have to give this shoot a mention. Mainly because it’s radical yet very basic and simple showing a young female in her nude.

The pictures are pretty ‘out there’ so be prepared if you don’t like nudity. Here’s the link, however if you feel like exploring…

During Copenhagen Fashion Week I ran into Lina Rafn, the singer in Danish band Infernal. She’s very pregnant – and SO extremely sweet and kind.

London Fashion Week 1

I got back from London yesterday. I wish I could have stayed forever :-) It has been some crazy days. In my upcoming post I’ll show you some pictures. You are gonna go mad about the people I meet. First up is this one of….. Alexa Chung. I am telling you, the girl is TINY. It’s from the Mulberry Afterparty (who btw showed a beautiful collection). I also meet Pixie Geldof and Olivia Palermo at the Mulberry party. At the Vievienne Westerwood-afterparty at Bungalow 8 later on there was quite a few celebrities as well – among others Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Vivienne Westwood and Josh Hartnett. Oh my :-) Can’t wait to share some more pictures with you, guys.

Photo Shoot in NYC

Too Fat?

Europe has been watching the fashion models’ BMI for years. Voluptuous is the new black according to Euro fashion gurus. Models are looking curvier on catwalks than they have in years. And even the waif tooth-pick style icon Kate Moss, who uttered the famous: ”no food tastes as good as skinny feels’ has been spotted a tad more ‘womanly’ (read with boobs and hips) than in her die-hard heroine chick days.

However, The New York City fashion Week has been hopelessly behind this trend for years. That’s why I was puzzled to pick up the news paper with this headline the other morning.

I met and photographed top model Coco Rocha backstage at the Rag & Bone show a couple of seasons ago and she was skinnier and taller than most of the models that day.

interesting and about time that a NYC news paper brings this topic up. I just hope that designers, fashion editors and teenage girls all over the planet hop on this new trend: Curvy is delicious. I’m tired of attending ‘anonymous under-eaters’ parties during fashion week.

ZINK MAGAZINE PARTY

First night in NYC in almost 2 years! I Effing don’t believe that I could be away for so long. But you know, once I got out of the cab in West Village it was like I never left.

That’s what NYC does to you; you become life long partners…

No time for shower or chance of clothes. Put on those crimson lips and then out.

I’m wearing my Versace Mongolian fur coat, no name tank top and my Object high waist riding pants.
