Weekend Treat

Hope everyone had a good week! Here's a little something for all of the Northern Hemisphere fans, who, if you're anything like me, are buried under snow at the moment!

Things To Look Forward To

Daria has really been churning out the work as of late. But if these candids and Instagrams are any indication, then 2014 should be just as busy as the end of 2013 was. Here are some things to look forward to:

Daria worked with makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, hair stylist Christiaan and wardrobe stylist Kate White. White often works with W magazine, and this was from a shoot with Mert and Marcus, so my best guess is on a W magazine editorial for the new year.

In perhaps the most interesting of previews Daria worked with Mert and Marcus for a Vogue UK story styled by none other than Kate Moss! If you haven't heard Mossie joined the Vogue UK team as a Contributing Fashion Editor. I'm sensing a March cover in Daria's foreseeable future ...

Daria is seen here with Yann Weber who works with both L'Express Styles and Antidote magazine. Daria just had a recent editorial in L'Express but this candid below is from a shoot for Antidote. It's an amazing publication so I'm so excited to see how this will turn out.

Daria and Andrea Tremolada of Salvatore Ferragamo so expect another Ferragamo campaign for Spring 2013! Hmm Marant, DVF and Celine, take note!

A very zen Daria on set with stylist Alastair McKimm. I'm not too familiar with his work but I do know that Alastair mostly works with i-D magazine and The Last Magazine ... but it could really be for anything. Have I also ever mentioned how much I love saying the name Alastair? ... Alastair.

  

There's been a bit of a shuffle over at Mango with Daria replacing Miranda Kerr as the face of the brand. She shot with Josh Olins in a desert somewhere. Honestly I've seen enough desert editorials to last me a life and a half but regardless I can't wait to see how these turn out. 

Daria also worked with Alexi Lubormiski for a Lancome advertisement. I think the Instagram below right is from this shoot because the hairstyle does look quite similar. I'm hoping for a bunch of new Lancome ads because it has been quite a while!

So thats an editorial in W Magazine, a potential cover and editorial in Vogue UK, work in Antidote, the new Salvatore Ferragamo campaign, Mango Spring 2013, an editorial with Alastair McKimm and a return to Lancome. Phew ... did I miss anything?

Balenciaga Spring 2014

So Daria walked in Balenciaga and I'm just like ... no but seriously how awesome is this! Daria made a surprise appearance at Paris fashion week and closed the Balenciaga show.

Daria rarely does runway appearances these days so it's such a nice surprise to see her on the runway! Even if the show in question was designed by Wang (RIP fashion). I wonder if this means a campaign in the future? Daria has never worked with Balenciaga on the ad front so it'd be great to see what direction they would take. What I do know is that a runway appearance makes for a bunch of new pictures. I'm loving Daria's shorter and blonder hair in the candids below. I'll be updating this post with any new pictures that come along!

On the news front Daria is in Ibiza shooting an editorial with Alex White and Charlotte Tilbury. My best guess is for W Magazine. You can also see Daria's most recent editorial in Vogue Russia on the Editorials page. Also check out this super cute post by a reader - she took Daria's Vogue UK cover on an art gallery road trip!

D + G in Ireland = New Work?

That red hair is unmistakeable - Grace and Daria are back together! Daria paid a trip to her home in West Cork, Ireland and this time she brought along some friends. Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue, was snapped by Daria in all her bright headed glory.

Hopefully this means a Vogue US editorial in the works, and one that takes full advantage of the beauty of Ireland. If there is to be an editorial out of this visit then I'm hoping for one that showcases Daria at home playing the role of an urban castaway. It looks like these pictures were taken a few days before Daria's appearance at the Lancome event in Paris. Stella Greenspan, one of Grace's assistants, also snapped some photos on location which you can see below. All things point to some new work but if this just turns out to be a meeting between friends then at least we've gotten some pretty candids out of it!

Lancome x Lanvin

Paris landing! Daria is in Paris for fashion week, and last night she was at the Lancome Show by Alber Elbaz event, celebrating Lanvin's recent collaboration with Lancome.

 

If there is a fashion god out there then I swear he has answered our sartorial prayers, because Daria looked absolutely brilliant last night. She wore Spring 2013 Lanvin, fitting for the occasion, and a pop of lip colour. I suppose if its an event for Lancome then a little makeup is required! I love that the omnipresent rattail made an appearance - despite such a high profile event (Catherine Deneuve and Ms Carine Roitfeld were present!) Daria held her own.


I wonder if an appearance in Lanvin will lead to something more? The fashion world is a calculated place and something as simple as a wardrobe choice can signal a job prospect. Lanvin's fall campaign is yet to be released and I haven't heard any rumours about who will be fronting the ads ... but then again, this may just be Daria doing her part as a Lancome ambassador, and pledging fealty to both parties. Coincidentally Steven Meisel is Lanvin's go-to photographer and seeing as how D and Meisel haven't worked together in a while I'm not so sure a campaign is carved in stone.
