Although we love our homegrown beauties, most catwalkers come sailing through from Eastern Europe, various parts in Africa and of course, Brazil. So in celebration of our “Travel” month, we’re taking a trek around the globe to visit our favorite foreign models.

FashionIndie is taking you on a beauty and spa adventure. See what ensues when social media spa boy wizard @OzSultan and I, Indie fashion head, @JessicaLapidos, trek to the Czech Republic to discover treatments that have evolved over centuries in the natural mineral water reserves, and have kept models skinny and even-faced for even longer. Across the Atlantic, they don’t really believe in the “Day Spa”; they subscribe to at least a week of spa at a time. With CzechTourism as our generous guide, we’ve teamed up with Spa Week and the EuroSpaClub to show you how to get your body into model condition via a week of intensive wellness werq. Czech it out.

The CFDA Awards red carpet fell somewhere in between Grammy gauche and Oscar opulence. I thought there would be more formal, black-tie, floor-grazing-gown business à la the Met Ball, but some people showed up in jeans while there was enough leg on display to put KFC out of business. But the fashion grab bag of last night’s red carpet provided a few hits, a ton of misses and then of course there was the Gaga factor.
