Photographer: Craig McDean

Model: Natasha Poly

There are a few sure signs that you have made it in the modeling world: getting entire issues of magazines dedicated to you and being BFF with a designer are two important ones. It doesn’t hurt if this designer also moonlights as a photographer and happens to shoots you for the elusive issue that is dedicated to you. Natasha Poly is one lucky girl.

From the hair to the models to mind-blowing garments, Phi’s Fall 2009 ad campain is flawless. Shot by Steven Meisel, the ad features models Sasha Pivovarova, Anna Selezneva and Natasha Poly. Fabulous.

For the June/July 2009 issue of Paris Vogue, Anja Rubik and Natasha Poly are on the move in “A Toutes Jambes,” a sexy, whimsical editorial with lots of velocity.

Styled by Emmanuelle Alt and shot by Terry Richardson, the bright spread showcases sheer patterned legwear.

Anja Rubik also takes the cover of the issue.

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.

You can never go wrong with black and white. This simple seamless backdrop brings all the attention to the intricate designs of the dresses and jutting collarbones of the models, Vanderperre did a great job with ‘Venus Envy.’

This editorial shoot for V Magazine has a creepy quality, with a few mascara-running shots worthy of a horror film, but nonetheless, the washed out skin tones and contrasting black and white dresses bring together fantasy dreams and nightmares.

The updated Chanel girl hits the cover of the March issue of Vogue Paris, covered in full makeup, tons of logos and accessories, and no eyebrows.

Carine Roitfeld  has been putting new models on the cover of important issues of French Vogue, like March and September. For example: Natasha Poly snagged both March & September for 07, Lara Stone did March 08.

These days, it’s Anna Selezneva, Iris Strubegger making their debuts…

Buzz kill central right here! I’ll be the first to admit that I am getting pretty damn excited for New York Fashion Week to kick off this upcoming weekend, but when I saw these images over at Fashin Fags, I remembered how damn stressful and not so awesome it can become sometimes. I wasn’t too familiar with this story from last year’s Diesel Black Gold show, but it’s worth bringing up again. Check out these images of Natasha Poly breaking out in tears after she showed up just minutes before the start of the show. She had all the hair and makeup artists working on her as she broke into tears after Renzo Russo reamed her out for being late.

Renzo Russo to Natasha - ”I checked – you didn’t even have a show before ours!! how could you?!!, don’t even talk to me, get ready!!”

I have always admired Jil Sander advertisements because they have this loud, simplistic mood to them that is like no other. And the campaign for spring/summer 09 is no exception. Shot by Willy Vanderparre featuring models Natasha Poly and Douglas Jewell, these black and white photos need no explanation. The silhouettes of her designs look flawless against the stark white background. Check out the earring Poly is wearing; straight-up badass.

Thanks to Fashion Copious for the photos.

This Missoni ad is both beautiful and slightly disturbing to me. Steven Meisel photographed models Natasha Poly and Isabeli Fontana for the label’s latest campaign. I love the bright colors of the fabrics against the neutral tan sand. But the angle at which it’s shot combined with their makeup almost make them appear dead. I mean, not in a rotting corpse kind of way but something about it disturbs me. Don’t get me wrong though, I like it.

Thanks to Fashion Copious for the photo.

Natasha Poly for Blumarine’s fall winter 2008/09 advertising campaign.

Photographed by Craig McDean, it’s not the gorgeous clothes that has me loving the new edge in the Italian fashion houses ads. It’s the fact that Poly is sporting the much talked about hair cut for the year, The Aggy, named after Agyness Deyn’s shaggy crop.

I am soooo sick of this hairstyle! Honestly, not all models have to inspire to look like Aggy, and the cut is making girls look like boys, not very attractive considering that models are supposed to be the pinnacle of beauty and grace.
