James Franco - Gucci Eyewear Fall/ Winter 2013

I love James Franco and Mert & Marcus are one of my fave photography duo's, so of course I have to post this wonderful collaboration. This is the ad for Gucci Eyewear Fall/ Winter 2013 and James looks so good in the Bamboo aviators.

I really like this picture its not too posed and i think the shirt is so cute on him. You can't really go wrong with Mert & Marcus so enjoy xx

Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy, Linda Evangelista, Amber Valletta, Stephanie Seymour & Christy Turlington - Interview Magazine September 2013

This shoot is great, so many amazing supermodels. It was shot by the fabulous Mert & Marcus and styled by Karl Templer & Ludivine Poiblanc. I love the grungy yet glam looks, but I have to say Naomi's is my fave. She looks like she is getting even younger if that's possible, but I just think she filled the brief the most in terms of grungy and glam.I actually saw Kate's picture first and I liked it but, when I saw the other ladies I was more drawn to their covers, Kate has an amazing face which is evident in this picture but I don't like the position of the hands its a bit awkward. All in all there are some good pictures and the women did well.

Focus On - Rose Cordero

Born in 1992, in the Dominican Republic, Rose was disovered  when approached by a man while she was playing volleyball. Thinking the man was crazy, she ran away from him, but he insisted on talking to the 13-year-old because he said she had the potential to become a model. The man was actualy Sandro Guzman founder of Ossygeno Model Management. He gave Rose her card, but she did not call until her aunt spotted him on a TV a year later. She has gone on to appear on the cover of French Vogue, Arise, V & i-D & in editorials for American, Italian & Teen Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Numéro, & W. She has also appeared in ads for Barney's & Nars Cosmetics.

Ok where do I start, first of all she is ridiculously gorgeous with those lips and that skin, she has the perfect face shape, but I think what I love the most is the shape of her eyes they are beautiful, her face to me is so perfect and of course I can’t talk about Rose without mentioning her hair. Such a stunning model.

I first really took notice of Rose when I saw 'Profil De Grace' editorial in the December 2009 issue of French Vogue. Her short hair & simplistic but outstanding features just caught my eyes. She looked beautiful and gave us 90% of that bad ass Grace Jones vibe and I only say 90% because I don’t think anyone can ever give us 100% of Grace Jones apart from Grace Jones. I also liked this editorial because it reminded us that Grace Jones is the original that many celebrities copy their style from.

Lara Stone - Vogue Paris September 2012

As you know Lara is one of my favorite models, and this is why. She has an amazing face and takes great pictures I wish I had a version of picture that zoomed in on the face so you can see how great it is. This is for the September 2012 issue of French Vogue and was shot by the amazing Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Here is another model that has amazing cheekbones. But the things I like the most about Natasha is her ability to transform, whenever I see a picture of Natasha I am shocked by how she manages to look so different it sometimes takes me a minute to realize it’s her. Also her runway walk is something else. I love love love her walk it has to be one of my favourite. Every time I see her coming down the runway I can’t help to bop my head along to her walk (hope that makes sense). There is so much attitude and power in her walk I love watching her come down the runway.

The first  time I really took notice of Natasha was on the runway, her walk blew me away. But the editorial that I recently saw which inspired this post was the Numéro 'Couture by Night' editorial. This editorial was so beautiful and it featured male model Baptiste Giabiconi. I love the concept of this shoot and Natasha looked stunning. Also she brings something different to every shot, she is so effortlessly elegant.

The thing I love the most about Lara is the bottom half of her face. Her whole face is beautiful but I love her jawline, her chin and lips and of course her gap tooth. Theses are the things that set her apart from other models, because I don't know any other models, that have her jawline mixed with all her other gorgeous features.

 

 

(W Magazine October 2010: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott - Photographer, Alex White - Fashion Editor/Stylist)

The first time I really took notice of Lara was when I saw her editorial in the March 2008 edition of French Vogue. This is when it dawned upon me how extremely beautiful her face is. The light was hitting her face perfectly and the hair and make-up was so simple yet really beautiful, this styling also went perfectly with the shoot. I just loved it.
