Stefanel Fall Winter 2011 2012

Daria has her first official campaign for the Fall Winter 2011/12 season! Although she didn't return as the face of Balmain after her Spring Summer '10 campaign (although models rarely do repeats for Balmain) she reprises her role as the face of Stefanel for the FW 11/12 campaign! This is her fourth consecutive and fourth overall campaign for the Italian label, so I think its safe to call Daria the Stefanel girl now!

All of the Stefanel campaigns (which you can see under the Campaigns page) have had different themes but an overlying idea of a relaxed but sophisticated cool - just like Daria. So I'm not surprised the company went for Daria again. I like the feel of this campaign already - it looks like it will be another out and about in the city idea but this time in Berlin. And you can never go wrong with dogs ... look at how cute that puppy is!

Daria as Inez

A new photo is a rare sight these days. It looks like Daria's been laying low for the past month in terms of magazine apperances, and now that she's off sailing the world for the next two months I don't think we'll see much in the future! Thats why it was a treat to find this photo of Daria dressed like Inez van Lamsweerde in a photographer-muse switch.

Daria Werbowy as Inez in the "Pretty Much Everything" Exhibit

This photo was taken by Inez and Vinoodh in 2010 and will be displayed at an exhibition in Sao Paulo, Brazil ... well right about now actually! If there are any Brazilian readers out there then you should go to the exhibition - it starts in half an hour - and then you can let us know if there are any other unseen Daria pictures!

Elle Poland July 2011

Elle sure does love their reprints but its good for fans because now we have another cover for Daria this year! Elle Poland reprinted Elle Spains May 2011 cover. I have to say I like the Polish edition more for its brighter colours.

Now I don't normally do posts on reprints but seeing as how the news is sparse these days ... and also for any Polish readers out there (or for those able to get ahold of this magazine!) could you let us know if there is an interview inside or perhaps new unpublished pictures? It would be much appreciated!

The Daria Files Resurructed

Lately, I haven't been that inspired by this blog. It's very limiting and the layout is pretty gross to be honest. So I've decided ....

H&M Spring 2009: Daria by Solve Sundsbo

Some more glimpses of the new H&M by Matthew Williamson Spring 2009. Daria and Matthew Williamson "traveled all the way to Mexico to shoot what could be a studio shot, but the airtime was done for the sunlight on the Mexican beach." I'm not too fond of the idea of logging so much miles for such a campaign, but hopefully the images will change my mind. But apart from that the candids look great!

V 59 Preview

According to glamurama, all of the top models (including Gisele Bündchen, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson, Eva Herzigova, Natalia Vodianova, Carmen Kass, Daria Werbowy and Isabeli Fontana) will be in a massive editorial of 45 pages about summer in V magazine. The photographer is Mario Testino...I am not his biggest fan, but he did make an amazing editorial in the recent Vogue UK so we'll see how this turns out!

Numero Tokyo Outtakes

Remember this Numero cover? It seems that after all this time, we finally have the outtakes of the shoot!

H&M Spring 2009: Daria by Solve Sundsbo

Looks like we finally have the image! Here is the latest shot of Daria by Solve Sundsbo for H&M by Matthew Williamson. It actually reminds me of her editorial in Vogue Paris about a year ago and a combination of her recent Vogue Nippon editorial.

Sneak Peek: Daria Werbowy for H&M Spring 2009

We have our first look at Daria's ad campaign for H&M by Matthew Williamson shot by Solve Sundsbo. Thanks to debora25 at theFashionSpot for the picture.
According to aliensexfriend Daria has "2 pictures in same outfit, but different poses, very similar to her last ed in Vogue Nippon April 'Uptown Girl'" in the April issue of Vogue Paris.
Hopefully we'll see scans soon - but this is a preview!

Picture of the Moment

Daria and Erin Wasson a long time ago - they look so different today!

Vogue US April 2009 | The Shape Issue

Finally, a new editorial in Vogue US! After a million editorials shot by Inez & Vinoodh, "The Deep End" is the newest editorial in the April issue of Vogue US, shot by Mert & Marcus
Apparently, this is only the fourth time Mert & Marcus have ever shot for US Vogue, the last full editorial they did for them was way back in March 2004.You can see all of the pictures here

Vogue Portugal April 2009

Daria is on Vogue Portugal April 2009. It looks like she is yawning!

Lancome Photoshoot

I haven't had the chance to post this set of pictures as well. It is a new (or old?) Lancome photoshoot. They're not too great in my humble opinion, but at least there is something to post about!
The full set of pictures can be seen here

Assortment

An assortmen of pictures - I haven't had the chance to post them, so here are a few unseen images. Your present for the day!

Daria for Lancome 1000 women

Forum Tufi Duek Fall Winter 2009

And we finally have the long awaited Forum Tufi Duek campaign with Daria. The anticipiation has paid off, because this is a beautiful campaign. Shot by David Sims, it feautures Daria in black and white shots that are anything but simple. It's a very beautiful campaign and just further indication that Daria needs to work with photographers other than Inez & Vinoodh...

Vogue Nippon April 2009 | Uptown Girl

Along with the new Vogue Paris editorial, Uptown Girl is the newest editorial from Daria - and this one is not disappointing at all!
It's such a strong set of shots with amazing posing. The full editorial can be seen here

La Veste

Sorry for the lack of updates - life has been very busy lately! Daria has an editorial in the March issue of Vogue Paris. She is back to working with Inez & Vinoodh and stylist Emmanuelle Alt. The entire editorial can be seen here. I'm never a big fan for the chic tacky look stylists go for and even though it's supposed to be ironic, this editorial has lost it's appeal to me.

The Creation Of Toronto's Mille Femmes by Maraval

Thanks to anton, I have a heads up on the Mille Femmes projet by Maraval. It's quite interesting - I saw a piece on this a while back but never really read into it. In June of last year there was an exhibit of 1000 influential women in Toronto, coinciding with Maraval's previous collections with Canadian women in Montreal. A bit more info on the show ...

Toronto's Mille Femmes is a tribute to 1,000 artistic, creative and inspiring women from Toronto and their protégés, who embody the passion and heritage of the city. Architects, actors, dancers, designers, journalists, musicians and others have been chosen in recognition of their achievements and leadership in their field. Joined together, the 1,000 portraits will become a visual network, a chain of recognition that celebrates not only an extraordinary community of women, but also the creative character and diversity of Toronto.

We have a video and a photo. And a screencap. I couldn't help laughing when comparing the Daria in the foreground to her Lancome picture in the background! It's quite an interesting project and I wish I could have visited the installation. Daria is featured along with Adrienne Clarkson, Shannon Mercer and other talents ... quite an honour!

The picture is very beautiful and natural - a great shot! And here's the video below. Daria comes in at around 3.00 minutes.

Can you find Daria?

Daria Ressurected?

SCOOP DU JOUR: AN ICON RESSURECTED
TI's spies peeping on the set of that certain VI shoot spotted a recent cosmetics campaign queen...being brushed and dusted for an upcoming shoot. She wasn't alone as another beauty was also booked for the same edit...but TI for one is very happy to see this recent icon basking again in Meisel's immaculate light.-- The Imagist

The imagist posted a very intriguing piece of news ... the last time Daria worked with Meisel we received brilliant Vogue Italia shots. 2004 was her year but then Meisel dropped her and moved on ... maybe he is reconsidering? Either way, as someone on tFS said "Julia Stegner (Maybelline), Doutzen Kroes (L'Oreal) and Hilary Rhoda (Estee Lauder) come immediately to mind." And Daria is not a recent icon...

Iron Maiden | Vogue UK March 2009

The pictures of Iron Maiden are finally here and I can safely say it's the best yet of 2009. This has to be one of my favourite editorials in a while. It has such a great rock vibe and Daria pulls of the androgynous look extremely well. This shot in particular, reminds me of another favourite model of mine - Amanda Moore.
After being used to seeing Daria shot by Mario Testino in a lifeless Vogue US editorial, this is an amazing piece of work from the two.
The full editorial can be seen here


My favourite shot

Iron Daria

Great news - Daria has an editorial in the March 2009 edition of Vogue UK. It's entitled Iron Maiden, so maybe some rock reference?!

Daria and Matthew Williamson for H&M

Today we have news on two campaigns, one familiar and one I'm not so familiar with:

"Matthew Williamson will be the face — alongside Daria Werbowy — of the campaign for his upcoming collection for Hennes & Mauritz. In the campaign, shot in Tulum, Mexico, Williamson models pieces from his men’s wear collection. The campaign, shot by Solve Sundsbo, will break in May, although no titles have been confirmed. The H&M campaign marks Williamson’s modeling debut, according to his business partner Joseph Velosa, and the designer will appear in the H&M TV ads as well. Williamson’s men’s and women’s collections for H&M bow in April. "
vogue.co.uk

There's also news of a collaboration between Daria and Dormice
an art duo consisting of Heinrich Nocholaus and Sawan Yawnghwe known for their extreme use of colour and form.

"The next step is more ambitious, with approaches made to designers and models to appear in their paintings; they’re in talks with Daria Werbowy to star in a campaign that is first accessed by portraiture and they're looking for designer patronage from some new de Medici of schmutter. "
fadwebsite

This particular article seems very intriguing. Dormice have collaborated with Versace and Roberto Cavalli on a variety of occasions and the little I've seen of their artwork is impressive. This will be great to see how it turns out. Here are a few selected works and a short article on the duo

Balman Spring Summer 2009

Daria has the Balmain Spring Summer 2009 Campaign! I'm pretty sure it's another collaboration between Emanuelle Alt and Inez & Vinoodh.

Last season, we only had one image from Balmain so this may be the only campaign image they release.

Isabel Marant Spring Summer 2009

Good news today! The Isabel Marant ads have been released, three in total, and it looks like this will be all of the images - Marant usually has two to three picture campaigns. The collection, and this campaign it seems like, was inspired by the Wild West so this journey to a highway in the middle of nowhere ties in well. This campaign is quite nice and very Isabel Marant in the fact that its so relaxed and simple. I'd say you can have a successful campaign with a girl like Daria because she just makes these pictures look all the more cool.

Isabel Marant Ad Campaign

A new Isabel Marant ad was posted at the Fashion Spot - for now, it's just a preview and a close-up shot of the actual campaign image. Hopefully we'll see the full picture soon!

Absentee

It seems that Daria didn't show up for the Forum Tufi Duek show at all. I've searched but found no pictures and seeing as how I know zero Portugese I can't decipher anything from news articles.

So no Daria at SPFW - but here is Daria at Stella McCartney, my favourite designer and favourite show that Daria has walked in:
