posted on February 9th, 2010 · by Laila Lu · Add comments?

Ylonka Verheul@ FORD

I have mentioned her in my Spring ‘10 to-watch list previously, but the lanky Dutchie is getting all the right pre-season buzz this time round. Ylonka did Preen for Pre-fall.


Nicole Hofman @ Trump

Any new girl with an impressive debut season in Europe is always a good catch. Spring ‘10 Nicole walked Prada (exclusive), Givenchy, Lanvin and Yves Saint Laurent, also to note: Prada pre-fall.

Sedene Blake @ New York Models

Sedene did Calvin Klein Pre-fall… remember how they brought up Lyndsey Scott?

Lucia Jonova @IMG

Simply unforgettable.

Marlena Szoka @ FORD

Was featured as a newly spotted newcomer right here at RTT nearly a year ago, after seeing her at Kenzo. Marlena has since rocked her first couture season walking for Chanel, Valentino and Elie Saab last month.

February ‘10 magazine covers

posted on February 8th, 2010 · by Laila Lu · Add comments?

Vogue Italia

Jamie Bochert, Daphne Guinness and Agyness Deyn, ph by Steven Meisel. Jamie is scoring her second Vogue Italia cover, Daphne is making a debut (if you don’t count her couture supplement cover shot by Steven Klein for Sept ‘08) while Agyness is a surprise inclusion in the trio. It’s been a while since we last saw Agy on any cover, no? It is a weird mixture, all of them are very different from each other but then again, that’s the point of the issue — ‘INDIVIDUALS’, how they rock those tie-dye Blumarine pieces in their own style.

Vogue Paris

Daria Werbowy in Prada, ph by Inez & Vinoodh. Daria must be Team Vogue Paris’s favourite cover girl, she gets to front the cover around every half a year— August ‘08, May ‘09, August 09′ and now February ‘10. The cover shot seems to be taken from part of the editorial shot in Morocco, it’s a gorgeous shot anyway. Check out the rest of the mega new collections editorial previously posted here.

Vogue US

Jessica Biel in Ralph Lauren, ph by Mario Testino.

Vogue UK

Natalia Vodianova ph by Nick Knight.

Vogue Germany

Eva Mendes

Vogue España

Kylie Minogue

Vogue Russia

Magdalena Frackowiak, on her second Vogue Russia cover, ph by Tom Munro. This issue is about USA.

Vogue China

Shu Pei and Mirte Maas, both in Gucci, ph by Patrick Demarchelier.

Vogue Nippon

Abbey Lee Kershaw ph by Inez & Vinoodh. Finally, a piece from Celine by Phoebe Philo gets featured on a Vogue cover. Big time for Celine.

Vogue Korea

Kasia Struss ph by David Sims. Reprint from Vogue US Jan ‘10 editorial ‘Jacket of all trades’

Vogue India

Sarah Jessica Parker

Vogue Taiwan

Top chinese actress Li Bing Bing in Burberry.

Vogue Australia

Nicole Trunfio

Vogue Greece

Again— Kasia Struss by David Sims, Vogue US reprint. They must love that editorial.

Vogue Mexico

Lindsay Ellingson

Numéro France

Anna Selezneva in Lanvin, ph by Peter Lindberg. The cover is very much of Lindberg’s style of moody, black & white photography, and Anna’s posing and the lightness of the Lanvin jumpsuit make a great cover. See the full editorial by Lindberg here.

Numéro Tokyo

Caroline Trentini ph by David Vasiljevic

Numéro Korea

Hanne Gaby Odiele ph by Lina Scheynius. You hardly see huge handbags on covers, and there you go, a mega Louis Vuitton bag occupying cover space.

Dazed & Confused

Magdalena Frackowiak ph by Josh Olins. Love the contrast of the elegant headpiece, her pose and the bizarreness of Viktor & Rolf’s gown. See the entire editorial here.

Dazed & Confused Japan

Myf Shepherd ph by Yasunori Kikuma. Myf is said to be taking a break from modelling to focus on her studies.

W

Rihanna ph by Craig McDean. Besides Burberry, Gucci’s new Spring ‘10 pieces get featured on a lot of front cover too, editor’s new favourites.

New materials for Spring

posted on February 5th, 2010 · by Laila Lu · Add comments?

Unlike other seasons when Spring is all about light weight fabrics and chiffon overload, several very directional Spring collections have manipulated Fall fabrics into chic, easy to wear pieces. Think well cut, paper fine leather dresses or suede frocks with eyelets. At Loewe, a house famous for its skins, used laser perforating and cutting with a new high-pressure water gizmo to create patterns on suede, the collection also included leather. At the time when technology is so advanced, you never know what kind of materials you get to try on during Summer in future.
