Though I really like Natalia Vodianova, she never struck me as an YSL Manifesto type of person before. It’s her face: to ethereal and poetic for the YSL Manifesto woman. TO my eyes. Then again, so were the previous ones, so maybe that’s what it’s all about: bringing out the YSL spirit in every woman? [...]

To tell you the truth, I missed Natalia Vodianova. At one point she was everywhere, in every magazine, everyone was telling her Cinderella story. But then Lara Stone happened to the fashion population. Suffering from a serious case of Lara Stone-exhaustion, I fully embrace Nick Night’s Vogue UK shoot with Natalia Vodianova! (the story continues [...]

There’s something girly and lovable about Guerlain I always appreciated and felt close. For their Fall Winter 2009 2010 collection, they went with a Beauté Slave theme and chose Natalia Vodianova as spokesface. With names and colors evoking Russian specificities, Guerlain’s new collection’s star product seems to be the Volga Princess. It’s an eyes and [...]

While Stella McCartney enrolling for Gap Kids, Glenn Close is working on a Lanvin line, Courtney Love puts together her own clothing collection and miss Sevigny aiming at Hermes, I’m [...]

When I saw Madonna proudly wearing that madhat-headpiece from Louis Vuitton at the Met Gala this year, I thought it was just her crazy way to thank the brand for extending her spokesface contract for fall (by wearing one of their most atrocious designs). I was wrong, apparently! Vogue Russia, my next big Vogue – [...]

Body Talk doesn’t necessarily require a body, but specifically demands people willing to talk about (their) body. Vogue UK, however, decided it should help everyone (men or women) talk about their bodies. By using Natalia Vodianova’s clothes-less body for their June 2009 cover. A typical Mario Testino, Natalia’s picture is hardly unnatural and despite my [...]
