Natalia Vodianova is all over September issues this year (Harper’s Bazaar UK). The first spread from Vogue’s September issue has been leaked (sorry Anna). Vodianova plays ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, she looks like a dream in Nina Ricci and John Galliano. Hurry up, September!

Makeup company Guerlain has long featured Natalia Vodianova as their very own sort of cover girl. But when creative directors were looking for some inspiration in their newest colour collection, they had to look no further than right beyond the camera. Natalia served as quite the guiding light for Guerlain’s newest “Russian Beauty” collection which hit select stores in the beginning of August. Go check it out!

This September cover shot shows Natalia in all her etherial, effortless glory. Theres a few things to be excited about here: Harper’s used a model on the cover of their September issue, they actually interviewed her, and she’s sporting some awesome Minx nails. This has been an exciting month for Natalia as she and her husband have made Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List.

The Louis Vuitton hairpieces worn by Natalia Vodianova in Vogue Russia give this shoot a vintage Playboy/oldschool Madonna feel.  I love her dark eye makeup and these bunny-like bows.

Finally a break from celebrity cover girls, the June 2009 issues include an impressive list of cover models, such as Lily Donaldson, Liu Wen, Liz Hurley, Anna Vyalitsyna, and Natalia Vodianova.

Doutzen Kroes made the cover of Vogue España, shot by Alex Cayley, and Gisele Bundchen and Sasha Pivovarova appeared on Australia and Russia Harper’s Bazaar.  Bummer: The Bundchen cover is a copy of U.S. Harper’s Bazaar April ‘09

“My agency thought that I might never do shows, because I was a bit shorter and not skinny enough,” Vodianova revealed of her early career. “But what happened was; when I gave birth to my first son I was 19, so I lost a lot of weight. I guess the stress on the body was extreme and I suddenly just turned into this stick — just the way designers love models — and after Lucas was born that’s when my career took off. I opened a lot of shows on the runway and that’s where stars are made in my industry.”

Monday night’s feature presentation might have been the photographs in the Model as Muse exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but coming in close second were the muse models themselves. I’ve run into a few of these bread winners on the street, but I must admit, nothing would be more intimidating than being towered over by a glamorous, naturally gorgeous and fashionable beanpole.

I have few qualms here. Anja Rubik showed some major leg. Daria Werbowy braved the infamous Balmain shoulders. Erin Wasson rocked the androgynous look. Sasha Pivovarova went simple on the dress and crazy on the feathers. But Natalia Vodianova…she looked like an innocent Princess Peach. This is the Met Gala, not a Super Mario convention.

Thanks Who, What, Wear Daily!

V Magazine’s swimsuit issue is really the only thing I care about this week. Beautiful models, it tiny little swimwear equals more than enough joy for all of us. “We chose the sexiest bodies in the world and those that had a special connection to the Testino world; a lot of the guys and girls photographed grew up with V readers over the years.” Check out who made the cut below.

The May 2009 issue of Vogue is the Steven Meisel-shot “Model Issue,” and features a pull-out cover with “The Faces of the Moment.” (Is it just me, or is Natalia Vodianova having the longest moment ever?!)

It’s great, of course, to see models on a US cover (especially since not one of them is American!) but so many of these names are established already.  

The cover features Liya Kebede, Natalia Vodianova, Anna Jagodzinska, Isabeli Fontana, Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Raquel Zimmermann, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly.

For issue #58 of V magazine (the glow-in-the-dark cover), Mario Testino shot Natalia Vodianova in “Lights of Spring.”

The background color, lighting and iridescent pieces give the shoot a muted futuristic feel.

I especially love the sparkly green Balmain dress.

Landing the cover of this issue of V Mag are Natalia Vodianova & actor Luke Grimes (he has a movie out called ‘Shit Year’), shot by Mario Testino.

From the cover, we’ll have “Blast From The Past”; “Shock Of The New”; “And The Seven Deadly Sins Of Spring”.

The familiar face of Russian model Natalia Vodianova may appear to be innocently filled with child-like wonder, but beneath the baby-face exists a more sensual being…a lingerie designer! Though Vodianova will continue her modeling, the model is slated to design her own collection of lingerie for Etam entitled Natalia pour Etam. Expect feminine and flirty from Vodianova as she anticipates to use materials like silk and lace and polka dot patterns! 

 

Thanks Vogue!

RELIEF! After seeing Diddy’s disturbing family spread in October’s L’Uomo Vogue, I was completely relieved to see a family photo not as ostentatiously creepy! Shot by Mario Testino, Natalia Vodianova looks adorable with her two beautiful babies! I’m picking up a Peter Pan meets Wendy, innocent charm sort of vibe! Okay, so the horse is a little scary looking, the kids don’t look too pleased and Natalia looks a tad bit dazed, but admit it, this shot in Vogue is very tastefully done. Celebrity mommies and daddies everywhere…learn from this! 

 

Thanks Fashionista!
