Defining Face
After generating a buzz in 2005, Anna Jagodzinska took a 2 year hiatus. Returning on the modeling scene in Fall 2008, designer houses such as Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy could not ignore the fact that this girl has grown into her look, and is far stronger and more confident in her skin. Now posing for the best photographers, Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and David Sims and the best magazines, think Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris and the most coveted magazine for any model, American Vogue. After completly taking over the runway in Spring 2009, she has more than 11 Campaigns under her belt, including Balenciaga and Prada who are known for being very exclusive with their models. This girl just cannot be stopped.
Front Page
With all of the makings of our past Supermodels, voluptous body, but still looks perfect in anything, a signature look, and a personality destined for stardom. Lara Stone shines on the cover of Vogue Paris February 2009, and she not only shines on the cover, but also on most of the pages inside the issue that was no doubt dedicated to her. She walks in too many shows to be named, is photographed by basically every major fashion magazine, the photographers loves her rawness, and not to mention that signature gap in between her teeth, think Vanessa Paradis, but better.
Sightings
January Jones wore a robin egg blue Versace gown to the 66th Annual Golden Globes. The gown is beautifully designed with its zips and folds. She looked like a Hollywood Starlet, with her immaculatly waved hair, and her beautiful matte tangerine lip. Reminicent of Grace Kelly from a Hitchcock film, she was flawless.
Accessory Report
Nicholas Ghesquiere resents calling his collections futuristic, but calls it a new age of fashion, fashion that is now. His Spring 2009 collection for Balenciaga consisted of not a new age, but a space age. With solar paneled cocktail dresses. exquisite cuts, and metallic crocodile wristlets? Yes, leave it to Nicholas Ghesquiere to not only put accessories back on the runway, but chic accessories like metallic croc skin. This Space-Age Wristlet Metallic Crocodile Wristlet with Chain Strap will no doubt be seen on the wrist of just about every social.
Catwalk Campaign
Miuccia Prada never takes her inspiration literally, but what was her inspiration for this campaign? Are they greek godesses, girls in the line for a bathroom or are they all toppling over eachother because of those 7 inch heels? 8 girls, Anna Jagodzinska (Whom appears to not be present in this particular image), Nimue Smit, Giedre Dukauskaite, Sigrid Agren, Toni Garrn, Katrin Thormann, Viktoriya Sosonkina and Ymre Stiekema who you can barely tell apart, really made you look at the clothing. The clothing can be ethereal, sexy, evening wear even office wear depending on how it's looked at. The movement of the girls really helps to see the fabric and the move of the clothes. Steven Meisel really knows how to capture the best for a designer house. This multi-girl ad campaign proved to be one of the best.
