Dress Marcs the Spot for Jacobs, Alessandra Ambrosio Births a Boy and Maurice Sendak Now Where the Dead Things Are

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:00:58 +0000

- Anja Rubik‘s bony thigh is quickly replacing Angelina Jolie‘s bony leg at the viral appendage of the moment. [Refinery29]

- Marc Jacobs apparently raided my fantasy wardrobe for the lace dress he wore to the Met Ball last night. No stranger to a kilt or even the occasional full drag, Jacobs remarked that he “just didn’t wanna wear a tuxedo and be boring.” Mission: accomplished. [Telegraph]

- Speaking of the Lady Jacobs, someone graffittied “ART” in big red letters on the designer’s Mercer St store. Whether that someone was Marc Jacobs in an attempt at attention-grabbing is yet to be revealed. [Racked]

- Alessandra Ambrosio took a break from bejeweling her baby bump to finally give birth to a boy yesterday. The Victoria’s Secret Angel and fiancé Jamie Mazur reportedly named their special delivery Noah. [Styleite]

- The New York Times seems to think that there are other places outside of Manhattan, let alone other places outside of Manhattan that need street style coverage. So starting today the Times has a new biweekly video series featuring street style from all five boroughs. Question: are we still considering Staten Island a borough? [WWD]

- Beloved children’s book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, who wrote the seminal bed-wetter Where the Wild Things Are, died today from complications of a recent stroke. He was 83. [NYT]

Alessandra Ambrosio Pulls a Demi, Karl Lagerfeld in His Time of Dieting and Abbey Lee Kershaw Goes “Mad”

- Kim Kardashian, determined to make us buy into her fauxmance with sometime rapper Kanye West, showed up at LAX wearing earrings bearing his initials. The world then collectively rolled its eyes. [Huff Po]

- Alessandra Ambrosio jumped on the posing naked while pregnant bandwagon that really should’ve buckled under Jessica Simpson weeks ago for this ad by jeweler Vivara. [Styleite]

- Before he was a Trannsylvanian vampire and even before he was a Bavarian cream puff, Karl Lagerfeld wanted to pump. You. Up. [Fashionista]

- Victoria Beckham designed a limited edition Range Rover costing about $130,000 and inspired by, among other things, her father’s Rolls Royce. They didn’t call her Posh for nuttin’. [Telegraph]

- Legendary lensman Mario Testino launched a new website featuring a searchable archive of his work, so now you can play “Guess What Kate Moss Was On?” throughout the years. [Style File]

- Abbey Lee Kershaw will make her film debut in Mad Max 4, which is sadly not called Way Beyond Thunderdome, as one of the scarce beautiful women who are locked up in cages. Sounds like an ordinary day on the job. [Modelinia]

MALE MODEL HUMPDAY: All A-Twitter

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:34:26 +0000

World’s Top 10 Supermodels Officially Ranked

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:36:48 +0000

How do we measure the rankings of the world’s Top Models? By number of campaigns and editorials? By paycheck? By how gorgeous they are? What with disputes on brand and magazine prestige, and definitions of beauty, we’ll let the internet be the eye of the beholder. PeekScore measured the digital imprints of top models and determined who is has the biggest web presence, i.e. most written about, followed and searched. Some of these results may surprise you. Others, like the strong presence of Victoria’s Secret Angels, may not. See who reigns supreme, as voted on by every single one of us, without our knowledge. Who is number one? Heidi Klum? Kate Moss? Gisele Bündchen? Lara Stone?

Lancôme's spokesmodel has been heating up Chanel campaigns, Vogue editorials, and apparently Google.

This 38-year-young top model is still demanding top money. This Vogue shot is from 2003, and she was just featured in Tom Ford's campaign.

Stunning runways and covers and everything in between, she also the star of the soon to be released film “Belle du Seigneur.” She's also quite the giver and is involved in charity work, like the one she founded, Naked Heart Foundation which builds parks for kids in Russia.

As famed for her gap tooth smile as she is for being Carine Roitfeld's obsession, the Calvin Klein spokesmodel and current Pirelli calendar star has a distinctly well proportioned body and a face to remember.

This Victoria's Secret angel is one of the top paid in the biz according to Forbes. Shot here by Mario Testino for Italian Vogue, her versatility is stunning.

The face of Christian Dior is an Angel. Having guest starred on Entourage several years back, she got the boys in her breast pocket.

Once proclaimed by Forbes to be the world's first billionaire supermodel, she has captivated every lens she ever stepped before.

The first model I said I would switch teams for is one of the most fiery models on the planet. Maybe it's Maybeline, for which she is the spokemodel, but most likely it's her innate hottness, highlighted with a touch of makeup.

This perfect 10 is in. After the Project Runway host popped on her Angel wings for the Victoria's Secret runway show 6 weeks after popping out a baby, she's been superglued to supermodel legend status.

How do you beat a perfect 10? Be Kate Moss. Her weighty digital imprint does not match the waifish body that made her a star. She has covered more than 40 issues of Vogue and accrued more scandals than her BFF Naomi Campbell and John Galliano combined: she made size 0 the standard. She is the golden standard.

Victoria’s “Secret” Probably Has to Do with Its Morbidly Obese Angels

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:46:29 +0000

While the Victoria’s Secret Angels go through often severe measures to keep their heavenly bodies runway-ready, sometimes a girl just gets tired of trying. Hailing from the Midwest of Doom, these Bizarro Angels, finding that their wings could no longer support their girth, hung them up for good and started eating their feelings. 1000 pounds and several Sex and the City marathons later, here they are — big and beautiful as ever.

[MTV.ca]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Burberry body has gone to the trenches.

She may have easily shed that baby weight, but Miranda Kerr couldn't shed her insatiable cravings for White Castle.

Hiding beneath Lindsay Ellingson's multiple chins are even more chins and a Snickers bar from earlier.

Lily Aldridge still models, sometimes moonlighting at the local Lane Bryant.

Erin Heatherton loves her new, fuller frame. Sure she misses the glitz and glamour of fashion, but not as much as she used to miss carbs.

Adriana Lima, from protein shakes to milk shakes.

When Doutzen Kroes rolled out of bed this morning, she continued rolling until she rolled into a shallow ditch, where she's currently flaying like a helpless foal.

After Chanel Iman put on a few, Kanye West dumped her because he claimed she took up more room than his ego.

You can call Candice Swanepoel Candy, but don't call her late for dinner. Or lunch. Or especially her post-breakfast, pre-lunch, mid-morning snack.

Just because Behati Prinsloo is a plus-sized girl nowadays doesn't mean she's still not a fashion plate. I mean, check out that sassy hat that Mayim Bialik left on the set of Blossom 20 years ago.

Alessandra Ambrosio is still a Brazilian bombshell, even if there are a few more gigatons of explosives in her casing.

Watch The Victoria’s Secret Angels Lip Sync To Moves Like Jagger

McArthur Joseph — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:15:41 +0000

Apparently the fashion world is OBSESSED with watching models lip sync and dance around to top 40 hits. Victoria’s Secret is no different and dressed up some of their top angels in their best menswear garbs and had them strut around to Maroon 5′s Move Like Jagger.

I’m not quite sure if any of these girls could lip sync for their lives in front of a Ms. RuPaul but they damn sure look sexy trying. Check out the vid below & make sure you tune in tomorrow night to see the actual “secret” fashion show.

LOOKBOOKS Interview: Lorenzo Martone and the Power of Social Media

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:31:24 +0000

Lorenzo Martone has made a business out of socializing that has taken him around the world and introduced him to a bevy of interesting personalities. With Ryan Brown, he co-founded the PR agency ARC NY whose clients include supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio (DNA) and recent Sports Illustrated cover girl Irina Shayk (Marilyn). Here, Lorenzo discusses how he handles the inevitable cross-pollination between his professional and professional life and how social media has changed it all.

What’s the most memorable party you’ve organized?

Last year was our ARC NY Fashion Week party in combination with Gwen Stefani. It happened on the night of her L.A.M.B. show and it was such a sexy, fun and magical night! We partnered with the artist Mr. Brainwash (of Banksy’s 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop-fame) and he painted all of our models—Gwen too! We had the party in New York and everyone came—Kanye West, Marc Jacobs, Gwen, of course, Ciara, Alessandra Ambrosio, Irina Shayk—with so many beautiful and interesting people in the room. A memorable party for me is the one that you hope will never end!

What’s your favorite social media tool? And why?

I like Twitter the most. It’s become a great source of information for me. I wake up, look at my emails and immediately read the Twitter feeds just because I follow a good and qualitative amount of people that keep me informed of things I find interesting and funny. It’s replaced me glancing at the newspapers every morning. Facebook is a great database but it’s the dynamism of Twitter that keeps me intrigued.

Do you remember the first thing you ever Tweeted?

That’s such a good question. I can almost guess it was an introduction of who I am, what I do, where I live, etc. And right after that I was just tweeting a lot about our models and some of their pictures. I’m going to try to find the first tweet and will “retweet.”

[Editor’s note: On March 31, Lorenzo tweeted about a girl bribing him for tickets to a movie premiere in hopes of meeting Jake Gyllenhaal.]

According to Forbes — and You Know, Everything — Gisele Is Still the World’s Top Model

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:14:43 +0000

Forbes released its annual (?) list of the World’s Top Earning Models, and surprise surprise Gisele Bündchen (Dicaprio) Brady is shutting shit down.

According to the mag, the top 10 female models earned a combined $112 million this year, 30% more than they did last year (a measly $86.5 M). Newer girls, however, aren’t seeing the same Super paydays ever since the recession. Which explains why Gisele made nearly half of that $112 M.

1. Gisele $45 mil

2. Heidi Klum $20 mil

3. Kate Moss $13.5 mil

4. Adriana Lima $8 mil

5. Alessandra Ambrosio $5 mil

6. Daria Werbowy $4.5 mil

7. Lara Stone $4.5 mil

8. Carolyn Murphy $4.3 mil

9. Natalia Vodianova $4 mil

10. Candice Swanepoel $3 mil

I guess Forbes doesn’t take into consideration the sizable profits from smuggling blood diamonds, hence Naomi Campbell‘s exclusion from the list. [Forbes]

Alessandra Ambrosio Is Ready for Action in GQ Brasil’s Premiere Issue

You know things are going to get serious once the thigh-holsters come out. Alessandra Ambrosio equips herself with a knife and a gun for a little adventure in the debut issue of GQ Brasil.

Though I’m personally not into this sort of thing, Alessandra looks…how would straight guys say this, totally hot? Smokin’? Boneriffic? Well, no matter. Photographed by Gavin Bond, La Ambrosio gives the new mag a sexy and steamy entrance into the publishing world and boys/girls around the world a reason to lock themselves in the bathroom for hours on end.

Models Anja Rubik, Aminata Niaria, Alessandra Ambrosio, Bonnie Chen, Angela Lindvall and Coco Rocha swung open the doors to their respective sex dungeons and unchained their boyfriends for a special Valentine’s Day editorial for February’s Vogue. No matter how attractive they are, I still feel like throwing up…well, more than usual.

Anja Rubik and Sasha Knezevic

Shot by Patrick Demarchelier and styled by Tabitha Simmons, Vogue recycled this very theme from an editorial nearly 2 years ago, also shot by Demarchelier.

It was cloying then and it’s cloying now, unless you’re into that sort of thing; you know, love, companionship, not dying alone, blah-blah-blah. Where’s my cocktail? V-Day’s approaching and I need a buffer from reality.

As for the clothes, besides Bonnie in Burberry, I’m literally in a coma from boredom. Pull the plug.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s 1st Annual “Follow The Sun” Party

McArthur Joseph — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:21:51 +0000

Thursday night, supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio hosted an amazing party with Moet & Chandon champagne at the Thompson Hotel and you know the Fashion Indie crew was there. The party was full of the fashion elite and I even had a chance to interview Alessandra, Adriana Lima, and Arlenis Sosa.

Somehow that event managed to combine three of my favorite things: Moet, supermodels, and sitting poolside. It felt more like a friend’s summer soiree compared to the regular industry events that we normally attend. It was quaint, but still full of buzz and excitement. Adriana Lima was comfortable enough to even showed off some baby pictures.

Here are some quotes I gathered that night:

Arlenis Sosa On Vogue’s Black Issue: It was a great experience for me. Actually I didn’t even know models Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn before the shoot. I really think that it caused a splash and I would love American Vogue to do something similar.

Alessandra Ambrosio On The Festivities: I love it! It’s a wonderful time. I adore [Lorenzo Martone] I really just want to dance all night long.

All in all it was a great time with great people.

Victoria’s Secret angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launched the new ‘Body by Victoria Collection’ at the Victoria’s Secret store on 58th St in New York City last night.

The new “Body by Victoria” bras are available in stores today, in three new styles: multi-way, push-up and racerback (my fave). Prices range from $36-$48.

Alessandra had this to say about her fave bra: “I love my body when I am comfortable and know I look great! Body by Victoria is my favorite bra because it is the perfect fit for my body and supports me whether I am running around to keep up with my daughter during the day or dancing with girlfriends at night!.” She also walked in the Prada Show last week during Milan Fashion Week.

Rosie commented on her fave hairstyle: “I love my body when I am feeling self-confident and a personal tip is great haircut. There’s nothing sexier than tousled bedroom hair…Nothing too neat.” Totally agree.

INTERVIEW: Lorenzo Martone, agent

Saynt — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:57:13 +0000

Lorenzo Martone opens up to The Fashionably Independent for an exclusive one-on-one where we get the dirt on his new agency ARC NY, the major change that Lydia Hearst is making, his eye opening feature in BUTT Magazine, and which team he’s really on: Jacob or Edward?

Daniel Saynt: The fashion industry is going through a major cleansing period with major labels like Lacroix going under, photographers like Annie Leibowitz going bankrupt, and fashion shows going digital to reduce costs. What made you decide to open up your agency in such a temperate marketplace?

Lorenzo Martone: Unfortunately the businesses you mentioned were hit by the recession. But I believe it was a question of management, nothing to do with lack of talent. Opening ARC NY in times like ours, made us execute and proceed businesses practices very precisely. Attention to detail was key. In addition, the recession transformed people. It made people a bit more humble and eager to collaborate, create things as a team…. it brought people together and in our case, because more than ever the models needed to form a strong team around them, (the right agents, managers and publicists ) we ( I have a partner – Ryan Brown – who came from Elite models ) think it was the right time to start our company.

DS: Your new agency is attracting the likes of Lydia Hearst, Julie Henderson, and Jessica White. What is it that you’re offering these girls that other agencies dont?

LM: Its very important to clarify that the majority of our talent have and will keep their modeling agents. We offer an added value to them, this being making them visible in the social scene and also visible in certain industries that they dream of being part of. Alessandra Ambrosio is with Elite/Richard and they have been together building an amazing career for her. We come as one more piece of the puzzle to cover publicity initiatives, which are not part of the model agents job description. Lydia Hearst ( or Lydia H. from now on… – we strategically dropped the Hearst ) is an exception, we are together managing her modeling career as well in the US from ARC NY .

In terms of positioning – again – what we offer is quite unique because is very specific : we do TALENT PR, only that. We don’t do publicity for brands, beauty, hotels…. we only do talent PR and I think that alone puts us in a very niche/special place. We attracted fabulous girls for the opening and I hope to keep attracting people at that caliber. I think also our “hand in hand” approach and involvement has been highly appreciated. We are very, very grateful and honored for having the opportunity to work close together with such amazing girls!

DS: Now that you’re a talent manager can we officially call you the “Ari Gold of Fashion”?

LM: (laughs) no, no. I have a lot to learn to become a super agent. And fashion is a much smaller industry than Hollywood.

All I believe in is: hard work and talent. I believe I have been making the right businesses choices, but it all takes time and sweat. There is not one day of my life that I don’t wake up before 8 am and finish at 11 pm. I’m also a big believer you have to trust your guts in order to find the right collaborators and talent. I love working with people that make my eyes sparkle. I have something in common with Ari – I love liars but hate cheaters ! hahha Its important also to highlight my partner, Ryan Brown, is very involved in the daily life of the office and if someone there is super… thats him!

DS: You’re giving new opportunities to the prettiest faces in the industry. What type of things can we expect down the pipeline? Valeria Mazza Breakfast Cereal? Lydia H. in a Romantic Comedy? A Fernanda Motta Christmas Album?

LM: For girls like the ones we work with at ARC, the sky is the limit. However – its our challenge to push the girls forward and keep them in high fashion or at least in an aspirational position.

When we started I asked the girls: ” where do you want to be in five years?” and they all answered with really big dreams, which was for me all I needed to hear.

Developing product lines for celebrities and models is like stepping on eggs. It has to be true to their hearts and organic to their life styles, so of course its part of ARC’s scoop of work to do the right, strategic publicity campaigns for their future plans – but we are making sure to be very close to their decisions.

We can suggest opportunities, but the final answer is always theirs.

My only advice so far has been: anything you do, create or develop, has to be of excellent quality. It might not be everyone’s taste – but that doesn’t matter, if its done with love, attention and time.

DS: Your upcoming nuptials to Marc is definitely the talk of the town. Is it too early to start expecting the pitter patter of tiny well clothed feet?

LM: After an overexposure on the subject we thought it was best to keep personal subjects in private. All I can tell you we are very happy together!

DS: Marc is becoming famous for pushing the men in kilts look. Would you ever wear the kilt? I’m sure a lot of our readers are looking forward to the day.

LM: I would wear a kilt in Scotland or during Halloween. I haven’t embraced that look for man yet. hahahah I’m sorry readers….. but hey – I did a piece for Butt Magazine, coming out in January and believe me – there is a lot more there to see there than me in a kilt ….. hahaha.

DS: Being surrounded by some of the greatest (and the greatest) designer/s in the world, do you have any desire to try you’re hand at fashion design? I’m sure a Martone by Martone collection would generate some major press attention.

LM: I learned how to love fashion and design with Marc. You can ask him, when we met in Paris 4 years ago, I dressed like a banker. I learned how to have fun, dress up ( and down ) with him, he was the catalyst for the development of personal style ( or lack of hahaha ) …. I don’t have any plans for now to start a fashion brand and I think people would actually find it ridiculous – because its not what I studied nor is what I dream of. I will leave the fashion design skills to Marc and enjoy it as closely as I can, but don’t expect a line any time soon..

DS: If you could have any super power in the world which would you pick?

LM: Tele-transportation. I keep dreaming that one day, I will no longer get in a taxi or plane. I will desire to be somewhere and tchan! Will be there. I love different cultures and traveling in general. And for business, I’m very old school, I prefer face to face meetings – so that superpower would be PERFECT for me! ha

DS: Team Edward, Team Jacob or Who the Fuck Cares?

LM: Hahaha – I wish I could say who the fuck cares to Robert or Taylor. But I can’t. I have been in love with vampire stories since I discovered Anne Rice in the 90′s and then the whole Interview with the Vampire ( who can resist Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater all together ? ) captivated me forever…

I must admit with my age now I don’t spend hours talking to my friends about the New Moon or Twilight – but I think its a great saga. I did buy the dvd and made Marc watch with me at least twice. ahahaha. embarrassing. Both Taylor and Robert are extremely good looking but I admit I’m obsessed with Robert.

He otherworldly look and the eyes….. ah from a past century …. fascinate me.

DS: List your favorites: Movie, Current Television Show, Cartoon Character?

LM: Favorite movies of all times Pride and Prejudice. But I’m a fan of Joe Wright – so everything by him.

Lately I met Lee Daniels in a dinner party and was fascinated by him as well. Precious was such a punch in everyones face about a current subject in the American society.

and…. after dating Marc, my passion for Jews has grown. So Tarantino and the Inglorious Bastards is genius!

Current TV show – I must admit we don’t watch TV at home – sometimes before going to bed – and that’s usually time for Chelsea Lately. Chelsea Handler for me is one of the smartest / most ironic women in TV right now. I love her dark sense of humor, yet sharp. Also the fact that she can make so much fun of herself and ( it seems ) to have such a good time while working is refreshing. I’m a big fan!

Cartoon Character – uiui I haven’t watched cartoons in a long time but I remember some from the old days. Wacky races… Penelope Pitstop is a fashion icon!! haha and the Pink Panther has always been also a favorite. ( I guess I’m attracted to pink characters ? )

DM: The three songs playing on your iPod right now?

LM: I’m very into 3 bands right now – all of their songs:

- LadyHawke
- CSS
- Plasticines

I think they are alternative and cool.
Gaga is a Goddess – I’m in love with her too. So talented, beautiful piano player and singer.
Great performer and amazing fashion (?) sense ( or non sense hahaah ) – I’m obsessed by her right now.
