Models of the moment

Models of the moment

As usual a new season brings with it a new hoard of super stylish models, but which ones should be keeping an eye on in 2011?

First up is the Swedish born Texan, Britt Marin.  The infamous designer Alexander Wang handpicked this model to open his spring and summer 2011 show, the new face has caused quite a stir in the fashion world and every editor, stylist and designer appears to want a piece of her.  Wang however is behind these demands as once this model appeared sashaying down his runway; she sparked a wave of attention, causing the likes of Rodarte, Fendi and Chanel to take note!

Balenciaga’s show is probably at the top of her resume at the moment and the one in which she made the biggest impact during.

This model certainly won’t go a miss in a crowd; this is maybe due to her dyed peroxide blonde hair, luscious lips and sultry eyes.  We are sure the fashion world has big plans for this lady in the very near future.

Another new stylish being on the scene comes in the shape of the very young Daphne Groeneveld, at just 15 years old this new model has already fronted the all-new Dominic Jones clothing range, hit the Prada runway and modelled for the renowned Miu Miu label.  As well as the above names the Dutch born beauty has also been involved with top name designers Calvin Klein and Givenchy Couture.  However her best achievement to date is possibly her Vogue cover debut, the model of the moment appears alongside Tom Ford on the Italian Vogue.

With so many names under her fashionable belt we are sure there are even more big things in store for this young fashionista.  Her blonde flowing locks, fixating eyes and enviable pout are just a few of the reasons why Daphne is causing quite a stir in fashion land!

Julia Restoin Roitfield shares her style secrets and what it’s like to work with Tom Ford.

Designers left, right and centre have this season been throwing free clothes at the Art Director, Julia Restoin Roitfield, and this courtship may however have something to do with Julia being the daughter of the much-loved French fashion editor, Carine Roitfield and Christian Restoin, the former owner of the label Equipment.

Growing up in such a fashion forward environment is one of the reasons Julia is so intrigued by both creativity in the design and fashion world and possibly why she decided to begin a career in such a creative industry.

Julia spends most of her time in either Paris or New York, both places are extreme fashion capitals and also the reason why the Art Director and model has an adopted such a cultivated and signature style.
One of the art director’s and model’s proudest moments is said to be starring as Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which has been described as the ‘Ford flotilla’ of fragrance and cosmetics initiatives.

Julia appears in the full-colour campaign images, which were photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Roitfeld is showcases striking glossy long locks, dramatic red nails and matching lips. The model appears clutching the bottle in a boudoir-like atmosphere. Tom Ford said he chose Julia to front this particular campaign as he believes her to be “exactly what beauty is.
