Brazilian beauty Raquel Zimmermann runs around in Alex Wang Fall 2011 ready-to-wear with some sort of flare in hand and SebastiAn and M.I.A.’s “C.T.F.O.” blasting in the background.

Fabien Baron — perhaps best know for Sex with Madonna* — directed the ad, a moody meditation on modeling in an abandoned grain factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Thoughts?:

And if you still want the full, projected-on-building effect, you still have tonight and tomorrow to get you some Wang. [WWD]

*Sidebar: Remember how awesome Madonna was?

The Sebastian Professional team, headed by Thomas Dunkin, were backstage at Marie Cornejo creating a look that was both effortless and chic. “For both the men’s and women’s collections, I was exploring the structure of perfectly crafted tailoring, but I wanted to remake the rules and push things off balance. In my life there is always a collision of cultures born of my experiences growing up in England yet staying emotionally rooted in the freedom and warmth of Latin America.” – Maria Cornejo

1. Generously spray Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray throughout damp hair for workable volume and texture.
2. Blow dry hair and set it with medium and large-sized Velcro rollers for height and body.

Michaela Green is Sebastian’s newest it girl, following Charlotte Ronson and Corey Kennedy. Born in Australia, this singer/songwriter/model’s claim to fame was her first album, titled ‘White T-Shirt.’

We love Sebastian, we’re just not sure why they pick girls who permanently look drunk, but I’d appreciate a bit more consistency in the choosing of their ‘fresh faces.’

Check out this awesomely complicated hairdo at Diego Binetti…this perfect Grecian-inspired updo adds a touch of disarray to structured braids for a modern twist. The asymmetrical pattern and haphazard positioning of the braids represents unique individualism and carefree youth.

Charlotte Ronson’s ads for Sebatian are finally hitting the mags. She looks hot. If you’re reading Lindsay, it’s time for an upgrade.

Daisy Out. Cory In?

Seems like Daisy Lowe is getting dropped from her modeling gig with Doc Martins in exchange for internet it girl Cory Kennedy. Seems like Cory is the one to watch since her deals with Urban Decay, Sebastian and NYLONtv.

Sorry Lowe, but you just lost out to the new queen bee. (Sorry, too much Gossip Girl catchup last night.)

You’ve got to love Cory Kennedy’s recent ad for Sebastian Professional’s newest whipped cream mousse. While flipping through ELLE, I spotted the “Internet It-Girl”.  I then immediately went online to find the photos and stumbled upon this amazingly vapid interview. Enjoy….

She’s been called a cult blogger. A style stand-out. Her uncompromising voice on everything from footware to haircare is taking the fashion world by storm.

You’re a fashion icon. How do you create a fearless look?

By wearing what makes me feel most comfortable and genuine…and that makes me feel confident.

What exactly does it mean to be the “Internet it-girl?”

I’m not quite sure about that expression—’internet it-girl’. There are lots of opinions and ideas of what that could mean. To me it’s someone who is popular through use of the internet, and who expresses themselves in a way where people pay attention.

Let’s talk hair. What’s your routine?

I don’t have a routine with my hair…it’s really just based on how ever I’m personally feeling, and depending on my moods is how I decide to style my hair. But usually I just want it to look its natural way.

What do you think about Sebastian’s new look?

I love Sebastian’s new look. It’s so fun and fresh but with an exciting feel. I think its modernity and unique way really connects to today’s culture.

Let’s hear more about your personal style. How would you describe it?

My personal style is something I’m always changing because I’m constantly changing—being influenced and inspired by traveling, music, history, people and art. It’s always pretty carefree and I’m always experimenting with new looks and trying new things. I’d rather set the trends than follow them.

Tell us about your most fearless experience.

My most fearless experience? I feel like just living in the crazy world through the ups and downs, good times and bad times and walking with your chin up is quite fearless.

Any product that can make Cory Kennedy look half way doable is totally worth picking up. We featured the photos before, but now we’re all about the video.

Sebastian Whipped Creme is so our must have of the week.

Take one dirty looking strung out sort of celebrity and give her a campaign with leading hair care brand Sebastian and what happens? She turns into an almost model.

“Of course I feel pressure!” confesses Kennedy on being the new face of the iconic hair care company. “I’m always into experimenting and trying new things, but always being myself no matter what I’m doing or wearing or whatever. I think the people at Sebastian get that and like that about me.”

The brand has been creating cult products since the’70s, but is now resting an entire relaunch in Kennedy’s hands, or rather, her hair. Whipped Crème is a non-sticky and sweet-smelling shaping cream.

Wait, a styling tool for a D.I.Y. icon? “I’m always switching it up and playing with different looks.  This product is actually something I can use,” Kennedy explains.

I’m going to bluntly come out and say this, I really really dislike this girl. But I have to admit that she looks pretty good in these photos. But again, anyone can look great if given the right tools (make up artists, hair dressers, and the right lighting). I just don’t understand why she looks like trash most of the time when she CAN look like this!
