Lara is also being referred to as he girl with the Brigitte Bardot looks…..okay, I can see some of that, but what I’m most excited about is, the fact that she has a “real body.” You all know what I’m talking about. The opinions and comments that I express here are not in anyway meant to offend anyone, but it is quite refreshing to see someone who can put on a dress and actually “fill it out.” I’m aware that it is the designer’s choice as to the models used to “sport their wares,” but some of the young ladies with the ribs showing and the knees that look as though they are about to snap in two if they walk too fast are a bit too thin for some of the clothes. Hats off to the designers who are using Lara in their shows! read more below from the actual article.

Every so often a truly original model emerges. Lara Stone is 25 – comparatively old in an industry where most are deemed past it by the time they reach their mid-twenties. She is a relatively curvaceous British size 10, with feet that measure a six (instead of sample size seven to eight), wispy fair hair and a noticeable gap between her two front teeth. Yet somehow it’s a mesmerising combination.

Stone’s unique look has designers and fashion editors swooning; Prada contracted her for a semi-exclusive catwalking deal (preventing any other designer from using Stone before she walked in its a/w 09 show), and French Vogue dedicated its entire February issue to her – marking the return of sultry, Brigitte Bardot-esque, womanly proportions. Born in Holland, Stone first emerged when she entered the Elite Model Look competition in 1999. She didn’t win, but the Elite judges glimpsed a flicker of potential in the 15-year-old, and agreed to sign her regardless. After several frustrating years her breakthrough finally came when she made it on to the books at IMG International, and a prestigious catwalk debut in Givenchy’s a/w 06 couture show followed.

This season has seen the renewal of contracts with Givenchy and Hugo Boss, and Stone has also been signed as the face of Jean Paul Gaultier and Jaeger – whose chief executive, Belinda Earl, is quick with praise for the star of its new campaign. ‘Lara is stylish, confident, chic, and most importantly she’s a real woman.’

Perhaps these defining qualities go some way towards explaining the fact that for a/w 09 Stone walked in no fewer than 14 ready-to-wear shows in 19 days, not to mention a further three in Paris last July, when she opened both Chanel’s and Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture shows. She might not fit the stereotype, but this certainly hasn’t stopped her from having the fashion world at her feet. Welcome to a season in the life of Lara Stone.

So this spread may be from the Sept. 07′ issue of French Vogue, but it is still amazing. The really dark Satanic references are amazing, and even the styles and pieces worn in the shoot are still very current. Plus, how could you not love a cute little goat with a crucifix on his forehead, I WANT ONE!!!

Anna Selezneva your androgyny is NO. You scare me in your ability to look like a little boy. Makes me wonder if you’re hiding any berries in your biddies. Congrats Emanuelle for unsexifying my wet dream, totally can’t look at her without feeling a bit pedophilic now.

Here is another great spread from the February issue of French Vogue starring model Lara Stone. This editorial moves away from the others, showing off designers rather than conceptual photography. Four pages of glorious fashion offers a look for every girl. I love that I can relate to each one in a different way depending on my mood.

I’m looking forward to snagging the February 09 issue of French Vogue (even though it’s wicked expensive here… sigh). Carine Roitfeld is being her usual magnificent self and doing the entire issue featuring model Lara Stone. Hint reports: the spread is modeled after Roger Vadim’s 1956 classic Et Dieu Créa La Femme starring Brigitte Bardot. Roitfeld said Stone had almost stopped working, so she wanted to make her a star. Brilliance. 

Thanks Fashion Copious!

So, Conde Nast is claiming that Anna Wintour is staying with Vogue and that rumors of her exit were greatly exaggerated (aka it’s a big fat lie, good job Gawker).

Personally, I thought this was the greatest news ever for American fashion, which has endured a big kick in the couture recently from international innovators who are making us look like a bunch of celebrity addicted, conservative yahoos.

Well Conde Nast, before you consider keeping Winnie here are some reasons why you should can the Angel in Uniqlo (sorry, the Devil Wears Prada reference is running thin).

1. She’s Expensive. Private cars, comped meals, post-tramatic stress therapy for former assistants. In these lean economic times fresh blood might be the best way to save a couple of bucks and a new face at the helm might just attract new advertisers to your quickly aging magazine.

2. Two Words. Mens Vogue. Men’s Vogue is not only a horrible title since most men who think of reading Vogue already have subscriptions to Butt Pirate Monthly, which already has a massive fashion section, it’s also a horrible idea. Men’s fashion in America is mostly lamish and if we’re already reading Details and GQ for rehashed ideas of what to wear why would we ever be the dude who reads Vogue? Bad job Winnie, very, very bad job.

3. Half as much Andre Leon Tally to Love. You know you’ve been trying to get that fat ass into the gym but the chubby chaser refuses to thin out. Carine Roitfeld is notorious for the scale she keeps in her office and her demands that all employees remain in Vogue. She’ll have him barfing up his lunchtime Mozzarella sticks in no time.

4. Anna Wintour Has Made You The Profitable Laughing Stock of the Fashion Community. Yeah, you make more money from advertisers, but you’ve lost your soul in the process. No one takes your magazine seriously. Vogue is basically an overpriced catalogue for whichever advertiser is willing to line your pockets.  Carine will bring in some fresh ideas and the avid following of youth who flock to French Vogue for actual fashion and not shitty advertiser lined spreads.  Oh wait I forgot about this.

5. Daniel Saynt is Available for Hire. Fuck Carine. Listen Conde Nast, I got this. Seriously, I can take on Vogue in all seriousness. I know fashion and designers and stuff. And you can hire me for about um, 1/2 you’d pay Carine. Seriously. Just do it. Come on. If only for a publicity stunt. You know how many people will freak their shit if you made the announcement. I’d come to work for like one day and then you could fire me and be all like, ha ha we were just kidding, we hired Carine. No. That’s not a good idea? Oh that’s right. You have 12 inch sticks permanently implanted in your asses which prevent you from making jokes. I forgot.

Terry Richardson may prefer his models overexposed, but for the forthcoming 2009 French Vogue calendar, distributed with the magazine, his subjects will at least be wearing shoes (and bits of lingerie). Made in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, the images feature footwear from Vuitton’s cruise and summer collections. The work is to be feted during a cocktail at Vuitton’s Paris headquarters on Nov. 26.

Raquel Zimmerman is the star of the Sept issue of Vogue French. Shot by fame photographer Ryan McGinely and obtained by Gold Digger, this spread leaves us with much to question.

First, why is she wearing crocs in a Vogue issue? NY Mag also pointed this out, and we agree…Where was Carine Roitfeld when this was shot? Cuz even Lady Wintour wouldn’t allow this..

Secondly, why does she look like Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil? With cave like backgrounds and zombie like expressions.

Lastly, Raquel is one of the most beautiful and stunning models on the runway, so why did the photographer make her look so coked out? She clearly is not the best for this type of spread. I understand that she is a model and must have some diversity, but she looks like Cory Kennedy, which is never a good thing.

Don’t bother picking up any of the U.S. fashion mags this month. Instead take the 10 bucks you’ll save and purchase the August Issue of French Vogue. As I have been saying for the past week, the French do it better. Here’s a preview of the awesome-ness.
