V Magazine offers up its oh-so-pretty version of a calendar for 2012, featuring the industry’s top girls, as styled by Carine Roitfeld and photographed by Willy Vanderpere. That’s Chanel Iman as Miss November, see the rest of the months on the next page. Via Fashionising.
Watch as Giselle gets heckled by Giants fans in the video above as she leaves the stadium after yesterday’s Superbowl. In the video you can hear her say, “My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” referring to her husband Tom Brady’s passes dropped by New England Patriots receivers.
First impression–even just being a regular person she stands out as really tall and oh-so-striking with her long, sexy hair. Second: I love her unfilteredness (see prior quotes on breastfeeding and sunscreen) in general and here it’s expressed in the form of loyalty–a trait that wins her bonus points with me. Third: But she shouldn’t blame Tommy’s teammates, that may be okay in the me-me-me world of supermodels but in sports it is often said there is no “I” in team. And finally, I feel for her having to deal with sports fans and their often extra-mean-for-the-fun-of-it, anti-female, fashion and foreigner mentality. Check any of the comments sections for this story elsewhere and they are awful. I always think the fashion industry is cold-hearted, but it’s a fluff ball compared to sports.

Not that Kenzo was dated or irrelevant but on many levels unless you were part of the fashion geeks who lived for Style with Elsa Klensch, your memories of Kenzo would mainly be of its perfumes. Featuring Ajak Deng, Alek Wek and Nairoby Matos the latest ad nods to the the labels 80s success with a modern millenium chic twist. The kind of ad we would not mind having on the wall as art..
Dr. Martens again choose Agyness Deyn and Ash Stymest as the face for its ad campaign for Spring/Summer 2012. The theme stays the same, too, “First Love,” and in the video here, model Agyness Deyn reminisces on the days she “snogged all day” with her own first. Listening to her narrate the spot reminds of Rihanna’s “We Found Love” video, whose intro was spoken by Deyn. “It’s like screaming…..” Via Streething. Above is one campaign image, see more on the next page.

Photographed by Inez and Vinoodh, Daria Werbowy wearing a Prada bathing suit, grabs the February 2012 cover for Vogue Paris 2012. If there is another label grabbing more editorial shine than Prada this season I do not know it.
