Daria at Balmain!

Update Daria will be attending an exhibit to celebrate 90 years of French Vogue Covers on the Champs-Elysées. So expect a huge amount of pictures and news these following days!

Even a Vogue Italia cover couldn't have been quite as shocking as this - Daria walked the Balmain Spring Summer 2010 runway in Paris today! You can add me to the hundreds on the Fashion Spot who are shocked by her appearance - over the past three years Daria has only ever appeared on the runway twice!

If anything, I thought Daria would have walked in Milan but an appearance in Paris is even better. Although Daria says Balmain is the only show she'll be walking for this season, I'm more than excited. What makes this appearance even better is the fact that Daria both opened and closed the show, with three looks in total. The theme this season at Balmain was just like the last couple of few - trashy chic (although the chic is debatable) with slashed minidresses and big shoulders. Daria walked with runway veteran Carmen Kass as well as some established girls like Freja Beha (my favourite!), Natasha Poly and Anja Rubik. So far the pictures are still popping up, and there is also a video. Daria appears below in the beginning and at 1:12.


Of all the runways Daria could have appeared in Balmain makes the most sense - she's been a faithful follower of the brand, wearing a Balmain dress to the Costume Institute Gala and appearing in Fall Winter 2008 campaign as well as Spring Summer 2009. Maybe the campaign count will be up to three ... Is anyone else ecstatic?! Click read more to see all of the images on the runway.

  2. This is great news. I love the pics. Just seeing her on the runway again shows how she is so the 'daddy' on the catwalk. Is it me or does she have the most enigmatic/saddest/tiredest eyes in the business?
