I have been living in Paris for the past five months so Paris is my main base, but I would call Singapore home. Although none of my family lives there anymore…
If you weren’t modelling, where would you like to be?
I would like to be in a happy place.
What can’t you live without?
Hugs and caresses.
How do you keep trim and fit?
Stress from work.
You write (on her blog) very candidly and poetically, have you always like to express yourself with words?
I didn’t speak until I was seven and no one rally talked to me until I was older, so I guess…

Daria Werbowy (P.S it’s her birthday tomorrow) has an appearance in Vogue US Dec ‘09 but the editorial looks strikingly similar to the previous one she starred in, ‘The Deep End’ in April, also shot by Mert & Marcus, and focusing on sportswear as well. Coincidence? Or is it becoming a fixture? But one thing for sure, she makes me want to be more active.

This year’s winners come from a great diversity of womenswear, menswear and jewelry design, and also continuing the pattern of one known designer for the win last year (Alexander Wang), a slightly unknown designer next (and vice versa) — Sophie Théallet, French-born Brooklyn based designer, with only three collections shown in New York fashion week so far, took home the top prize, $200,000 and mentorship for a year.

Talk about hitting the right note for a great start— a Jil Sander exclusive for the leggy Russian in the Fall ‘09 season. She is so made for Jil Sander, no? Toma has the perfect frame for runways (5ft 11), already armed with an impressive portfolio of editorials and test shoots, let’s see if Fall ‘10 have another breakthrough moment in store for her.

This might be their 7th designer collaboration, but shoppers still get as crazy as ever. H&M has two designer collaboration this Holiday season— first, Jimmy Choo in mid November and Sonial Rykiel lingerie and accessories in early December (5th to be exact). The campaign is already out, Lara Stone, Caroline Trentini and Anne V ph by Sølve Sundsbø. So another stampede for holiday lingerie?

Mariacarla Boscono has been missing from the magazine pages for several months, save for appearances in the campaigns (Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo) and an editorial in i-D Fall. I’m loving her comeback in the December issues, watch how MCB mastered each and every pose and make a simple solo standing black & white editorial work.

Let’s talk history.
Vogue Singapore premiered in 1994, with relations with Vogue Australia apparently, after around a year later branched out into its own title (complete with the word ‘Singapore’ in the O in VOGUE) and stationed its office in Ngee Ann City, with a small team of editors on board, under editor-in-chief Nancy Pilcher.
Here are some of the covers and editorials scanned.
The first issue: Joan Chen.
Jenny Shimizu
Editorials:
Nadya H
