Beautiful, articulate and exuding confidence, her poise and grace have created a wave of positive press with her 36 hour whirlwind state visit. The telegraph.co.uk has labelled Bruni “French fashion’s Secret Weapon”. Comparison to Jackie O and Lady Di have also come from respected journals Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

No stranger to fashion, the now wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy was a model, singer/songwriter and heir to the CEAT tire fortune before marriage. The Italian born beauty hatched in 1967 became a catwalk vixen at 19 years old.

Sparking controversy earlier this year when nude photo’s surfaced for sale at Christie’s auction it seems that Bruni has managed to use her glamorous past to positive effect.

Tristan Blair - What Else!

September 11th 2007 17:56
It's fair to say after trawling boutique after fabulous boutique in this beautiful city, there is noone aside from Massarro of course, who quite puts the same shine on a pair of shoes than Australian Designer Tristan Blair.

He is elusive, demure and completely humble about his creativity. I once attempted to help him source a shoe manufacturer in Brazil. He had become great friends with a man and his chicken in Bali and was loathe to change. Given my experiences in working with Brazilian timeframes I can understand why. Nothing quite happens fast enough in that country. Needless to say in a Summer that sports cotton candy and casual style you cant go past his new collection "Wonderful Armour

Coco Rocha - hot beverage or cool lady

June 22nd 2007 02:33
The obsession continues. Yet another Canadian. Coco Rocha was discovered at an Irish dancing competition (according to her “official”or website) and has since become one of the top models scoring covers on Italian and American Vogue inter alia.

Daria Werbowy: Canadian Amazon

June 15th 2007 00:07
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

It's all in the gams: Jessica Stam

June 7th 2007 00:42
One of the most striking models of the contemporary brat pack is Jessica Stam, a statuesque Canadian who has the kind of natural physique required for catwalk shows. She is indeed long and slender but there is nothing painful about the proportions of her legs or the position of her clavicle. My general rule is that if the knee is wider than the thigh there’s a problem but Stam is in proportion as you can see from the Stella McCartney show.
