It looks like someone paid attention in geometry class! Riccardo Tisci sent a range of Roman/Arabic inspired, geometrically appealing pieces down the runway for the Givenchy Spring 2010 collection. Hard edges are nothing new for the label, but making bold, zig-zags and subtle optical illusions pleasing is no easy task; this was a challenge Tisci definitely succeeded at! Completely loving the head to toe wrapped looks as well as all of this high waisted business!

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.

NY Mag originally said they had a ‘well slated source’ tell them that Lady Gaga would perform at The Box during Fashion Week for the Givenchy fragrance launch, but they now claim that one of their editors talked with Out Magazine and Gaga will not be appearing. Guess you’ll have to attend to find out for yourself!

HOLY WOW!!!! I have this obsession with finding the perfect gladiator sandal for men, and I thought I found it at Topshop, but I was clearly wrong. The entire Givenchy accessory collection is amazing, but these sandals are definitely the highlight for me. Time to tighten up my budget so when Spring 2010 comes around I have the money ready!

The only successful member of NSYNC is now the face of Givenchy’s fragrance, Play. Well, at least his profession fits with the musical theme of the ad.

Mario Testino got acquainted with Uma Thurman, while shooting the ads for Givenchy’s new fragrance. Ange Ou Démon Le Secret is a scent set to hit stores in 2010, and with Uma as the star of the campaign, we’re sure to see bottles flying off the shelves.
