Paris Haute Couture 2011

Paris Haute Couture is back, Madames et Monsieurs!
One of the reasons why i love winter1 It really warms my heart when i watch these beautiful fantasy shows.

Here is Dior, and a fe wof my favourite looks from the collection. Voluminous shapes, beautiful colourful fabrics, retro feel and make up, and feathery hats. It is truly beautiful! By the way, let's see will red eyebrows make it on the fall/winter runways? It sure looks awesome in couture, but is it adjustable for ready to wear and every day lives? Take a look:

Armani Prive went futuristic all the way with disc like hats, metallic fabrics, new shapes and purple lipstick! A beautiful allien invasion i must say! Judge for yourself:

P.S. Can not wait to see Chanel Haute Couture. For now check out Chanel Hauet Couture collection in the making http://fashionista.com/2011/01/watch-karl-lagerfeld-prepare-chanels-spring-haute-couture-collection/

Dear TO modleing industry, can you get a little more exciting?

I have been thinking about it for a while, but today it was the last drop. TO modeling industry sucks, im sorry....
Canada is a great market to start modleing career in. It has a few good agency that really care for you, a few good photographers, stylists, make up and hair stylists, designers, that will do great job to start your portfolio, and when you start travelling and say that you are from Canada, lets get real, people love it!
Although there are a few magazines, and good clients...its boring... its slow...The jobs and castings that we do here are for Zellers, Sears, Wallmart... And magazines that shoot 'high fashion'... ah, come on, for Canada it is high fashion, but once you go to a big market (Milano, NY, Paris) they call it 'commercial'...

There are a lot of great girls here too and we want to work at home, as well.
so, Dear TO modleing industry, can you get a little more exciting? ;)

CHEERS!

Would you... mind the gap?..

between teeth?

Fashion TV made a whole episode about models with gap in between their front teeth...
In the last season of America's Next Top Model, one of the participants ( model wanna-be) was brought to a dentist to make a gap in her front teeth...
Quite a few models that you see in high end campaigns and runways also got this gap.

A new trend? Possibly...What do you think about it?
Cause we like it, imperfect teeth add personality ;)
Don't hide behind those veneers, don't be ashamed of smiling with your teeth! Gap is cute!
