Daria Werbowy: Canadian Amazon

Daria Werbowy
From Dariawerbowy.org


Pictured here all fresh faced and delightful is Daria Werbowy of Canada. Werbowy, like Jessica Stam, passes my knee test (if the thigh is wider than the knee then the model is not sick) and not only that but she exhibits an intelligence one may not expect from models. Maybe she’s simply learned to feign intent with those blue eyes of hers, or perhaps I’m prejudiced because she’s brunette but I do think there’s something more in Werbowy’s brain than is usually held in the mind of a model.

Take this shot from Stella McCartney’s recent show for example. Surely there is a wit, a glint and some meaning behind that smirk other than, I’m the fairest of them all. McCartney serves Werbowy’s interests well in this adoption of au naturale makeup allowing for some rather striking features to remain the focus.

Daria Werbowy in Chanel
From frillr.com


Perhaps these are some of the reasons she is a favourite of Karl Lagerfield, a Chanel poster girl and catwalk regular. Do you not agree that there is something beguiling in this advertisement for Chanel? Her visage speaks of a laissez faire attitude; “Sure my ensemble is worth a small fortune but it would be nothing if I wasn’t wearing it.” Or something like that.

Daria Werbowy in Valentino
From Style.com


And finally to Valentino. Renowned for his glamourous romance and bewitching of texture, Valentino and Werbowy were always going to work well together. With some particularly olive skin, pouting lips and movie star hair, this is a stunning look.

Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy
From photobucket.com


Although Coco Chanel was really the first to bring the black dress into the everyday wardrobe of the modern woman, its place was indeed cemented with Hepburn’s appearance in Givenchy during Breakfast at Tiffany (see Sisi's post) last year for more on that dress

Darling Natalie Portman

June 4th 2007 12:21
Recent Psychology graduate and general cutie-pie Natalie Portman has made the remarkable transition from child actor to adult star, in the non-pornographic sense, and astute style siren. With a particularly petite body and despite some onerous comparisons to Audrey Hepburn - no one needs that hanging over them - she has done rather well for herself.

Do the Cannes, cannes

Zhang Ziyi looking great... again
From Vogue.com


Corny title aside, I love Cannes fashion. All of a sudden due to it's French location, the red carpet set decides to try for real style and elegance of the sort not appropriately appreciated in the US and elsewhere. I've been a fan of Zhang Ziyi's red carpet choices for some time and this ensemble reaffirms it. Looking a little outrageous and a lot glamorous, her petite figure is dramatised in this tuxedo-style sartorial statement
