With all the emphasis on bright eye liner, it’s not surprising that some of that color has migrated to the eyebrows, a fresh look that I adore even more than the Crayola-colored locks trend. This image is from V Magazine’s “Woman in Full” editorial and once again, the emphasis is on more voluminous 50s-inspired looks. I’m trying not to be bitter because personally this is one of my least favorite fashion eras. My theory is that designers are looking to reset the bar in an effort to shift away from punky looks, but I don’t see it working because it’s too violent of a swing. More likely I see women shifting over to trousers and the like–at least that’s what I hope anyway! Down with the oppresive, styfling and hypocritical ’50s!
Models featured in the shoot are Miranda Kerr (wearing Prada), Karolina Kurkova (wearing Yves Saint Laurent and Celine) and Jacquelyn Jablonski (wearing Valentino and Calvin Klein Collection). More looks after the flip.
Since posting up an image of model and accessory designer Tanaya Henry, as featured in M.O.B.’s fall lookbook, we’re getting the feeling you all wouldn’t mind another taste. We’re working on a full feature, but in the mean times here’s a video, which provide a brief but very sensual look at her beautiful face.
A man in a Speedo has pretty much become the accepted punchline for any statement related to what a guy should never wear if he wants to ever get laid in his life. Now that they’re showing up on the runways (the ones featured here are from Dsquared), it reminds me that my partner have discussed this and we whole-heartedly reject the anti-Speedo sentiment! What’s wrong with seeing more leg on a man? It’s the beach, everyone should take off as much as possible. And yes, this applies to everyone, even men and women who aren’t perfectly toned and are long past their youth. We have concluded that this aversion is somehow connected to the inherent prudishness of Americans, but it’s probably a lot bigger and more complicated than that. Still, we here at HighSnobette officially are throwing down the gauntlet for more men in smaller swim suits!
V Magazine’s July issue is the “Sexy Body Issue,” which features Adriana Lima on the cover. Alternate covers will feature Natasha Poly, Eniko Mihalik, Lily Donaldson, and Isabeli Fontana, all photographed by Mario Sorrenti, according to Fashionising. The video featured here, set to the Beastie Boys classic “Girls,” includes some of the images from the issue’s editorial.
For a long period Gisele was the lone supermodel during that celeb-crazed period when models were out of fashion. Now that she’s had a baby and is working again (here we see her featured in an ad campaign for Italian label Calzedonia), does she still have it and can she compete with the latest crop of gorgeous Amazons who are riding the rising tide of models as more than just another pretty face? This business is an intensely cruel one and my money is on the liklihood that the answer to both of those questions is no. More images at FGR.
Some eye-popping images of Sasha Pivovarova for the May issue of Vogue Italy (via FashionGoneRogue) in an article entitled “Love is in the Hair.” The hair is by stylist Sam McKnight and it’s shot by Emma Summerton. It’s more evidence of one of our favorite new trends of hair and make-up that pops out of the page. And check out the manicure–a closer look on the next page.
Russian hottie Valentina Zeliaeva is on the cover of W Korea’s June issue, sporting what is shaping up to be this summer’s hottest hair trend, candy-colored tresses, a look that’s been percolating for a while now, but judging from its recent appearance on the covers of more established rags, is about to go mass. The image comes via Twenty2.
And on a beauty related note, we here at HighSnobette are officially looking for an intern who can cover the make-up and hair space, which has been lacking on HS. Ideally you are located in some city other than New York, and even better, outside of the United States. It’s a non-paying gig, but is good for someone looking to build their resume and maybe get access to related launch events/trade shows. If your interested contact: Lois@HighSnobette.com.
Didn’t mean for this site to become a chronicle of all things Lara Stone marriage related, but it’s like nibbling at the pie in the fridge, we can’t seem to stop ourselves! We posted an image of what we thought was the wedding dress yesterday, but that was actually the post-nuptials outfit. On this page is the real thing. So she did go traditional and white. Oh well, at least she avoided the strapless profile, a look so ubiquitous at weddings these day you’d think it was a required uniform. Like the gold dress, this one, too, is Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci.
All that was missing from our last post on Lara’s Stone’s wedding yesterday was an image of the dress, and it was well worth the wait! By Givenchy designer Ricardo Tisci, it’s the opposite of traditional, but perfectly sensible for a girl who makes her living showing the garments of the world’s most talented designers. And look how tiny her waist is! Via DailyMail.
