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?

Lancome's "20 Roses" Luminato Exhibit

Celine to the rescue! Daria made her scheduled appearance at the Lancome "Roses By ..." event. She was in Toronto for the opening night of a photo exhibit to be showcased in the Luminato Festival.

 

There are many things to touch on with this appearance but first ... that rattail. I honestly can't even hate on its reappearance (should it have a name by now?) because Daria so entirely marches to the beat of her own drum. Especially when it comes to her style, and that risk-taking is something I admire. Granted, I don't think we should all follow suit with that hair trend but the Celine suit on the other hand ... she looks amazing in it! Hopefully this outfitting by Celine means Daria will land the Fall 2013 campaign for the brand. I think as she ages and matures she is a perfect fit for their aesthetic. Speaking of campaigns ... stay tuned for an exciting post!

All the photos from the event are below the cut. Thank you so much to posters at bellazon and theFashionSpot forums for all of the pictures collected, and to all of the attendees who took awesome pictures at the event!

New Maiyet + Lancome Campaigns?

  

Cass shooting for Maiyet, Daria and Cass

Three Maiyet campaigns in a row and it looks like its going on four! This is just some guessing on my part (with the help of some telling photos) but it seems like Daria has landed the Fall 2013 campaign for Maiyet! Cass Bird was seen shooting for the campaign in one of her recent Instagram photos, and Daria was at the shoot as well.

If this is true, then this Maiyet campaign will be Daria's fourth with the brand! She first landed the Spring 2012 campaign and then the next two after.

In other behind the scenes news Lancome posted a photo of Daria trying out the new Lancome by Lanvin pallette. Alber Elbaz, creative director at Lanvin, has collaborated with Lancome in an exclusive collection. No word yet on whether the candid will lead to anything else but I'd love to see his vision translated to a beauty campaign with Daria! Also, a really cute Lancome by Lanvin video, just 'cause.

A Rose By Any Other Name ...

Great news for fans in Toronto! Looks like Daria will soon be making a stop in the city, this time for a photography exhibit presented by Lancome! Lancome's "Rôses by ..." is an exhibit showcasing the work of 20 different photographers and their takes on the "essence of a rose". The exhibit features works by Patrick Demarchelier, Josh Olins, Brigitte Lacome and Solve Sundsbo (to name a few and mostly artists Daria has worked with) honouring Lancome's official symbol, the rose.

The exhibit has already had it's European run and will now be premiering in North America on June 13th and will run June 14th to 20th at the Luminato Festival in Toronto. Daria will be attending the premiere on the 13th! It looks like the opening night is being reserved for select beauty bloggers participating in their own virtual gallery take on the exhibition. Hopefully they take a lot of pictures though!

If you can't make the the exhibit then you can view all of the artwork below. (Nick Knight's take is my favourite!).

Strangely enough, Luminato is already on my agenda this year (Marina Abramovic! Joni Mitchell!) so it was awesome to hear that I might see Daria as well! If anything the exhibit looks worth a visit. If the opening night is open to the public I'll try my best to pop in, but for now I'm assuming its an invite only event - I'll see what I can do!

Lancome Aquatic Summer #2

Lancome's newest offering is the "Aquatic Summer" makeup collection and who better to model a beach inspired collection than Daria? The summer 2013 collection is photographed by Mario Testino.

This is much better than the last Lancome photo we saw (below) that was much too photo-shopped. I don't think we'll see any more from this collection (Lancome usually releases one or two images) but the second image definitely makes up for the first. Do you have a preference for either?

Lancome x Never Undressed

Lancome has teamed up with beauty website Never Undressed to highlight their latest product Lancôme Teint Visionnaire Skin Perfecting Make-up Duo. Daria plays the muse in this collaboration "In Her Skin", wearing nothing but a two step foundation and signature leather jacket (this time its red!).

We get a beautiful video out of it of which I've made some screenshots below. This shoot was filmed by Patrick Demarchelier. Enjoy!

Lancome "Aquatic Summer" Summer 2013 Collection

Daria is the face of Lancome's newest collection "Aquatic Summer" for their summer 2013 season. I'm biased and I think Daria always looks pretty but unfortunately this looks nothing like Daria! Lancome have once again gone overboard with the retouching - why have such a beautiful model to front your brand and then make it look nothing like her! Sigh, just when I thought Lancome was easing up on the photoshop ...

If you remember back to a few months ago - I wasn't blogging unfortunately - there were candids circulating of Daria and her new haircut (thanks Megan for the heads up!). The cut was courtesy of Christiaan and I'm guessing the two worked on the Lancome campaign together. Wonder why Lancome decided not to incorporate the bleached rat-tail?!


If you're a makeup junkie like me you can read more about the collection here, and hopefully Lancome will come out with a more impressive campaign this year.

Also, some news on Vogue Espana and Vogue US. Unfortunately Daria didn't get the May 2013 cover for Vogue Espana but she still may have an editorial in this issue, or in the next one. And no editorial in Vogue US for May either so we'll have to wait a bit more!

Stylist UK April 10 2013 : Bringing Sixties Back by Victor Demarchelier

Finally an editorial! This is Daria's latest work in Stylist magazine, in which we saw a preview a few days ago. Daria was photographed for the cover and an editorial by Victor Demarchelier, son of photographer Patrick Demarchelier who Daria has had many chances to work with. Let's hope she continues to work with Victor because these are beautiful photos!

Bringing Sixties Back
Photographer : Victor Demarchelier
Makeup : Alex Babsky for Lancome
Hair : Nicholas Jurnjack


I've mentioned this before but I love what a different direction this is for Daria. We all know she can do the beach bum look very well but it can be quite boring when that's the only work she puts out. It's refreshing to see her channel her earlier predecessors like Twiggy! I think the Woodstock look is my favourite shot ... to live in the Sixties!

If you'd like to read the magazine the entire issue is online, as is the Stylist's archives! Daria has a little blurb inside the article as well:

"The Sixties were a time of great change and liberation and our culture is going through a similar time right now. The fact this inspiring decade is having such a resurgence across fashion, beauty and the arts now forces us to think about why the great ideals of love and peace didn't prevail. Now we're learning from what worked and what didn't to creat a better future." - Daria Werbowy

The Daria Files - News & Updates

Because of a site glitch I'm not able to make new posts so I'll just keep updating this post with news instead! 

March 18 2013 - Cass x DariaLooks like Daria and Cass are hanging out again! This time we don't get an editorial from the two but rather a few Instagram pics. Enjoy the candidness below ... and I didn't think Daria could be anymore awesome but then she went and wore red leather pants. Happy Monday everyone!

March 16 2013 - Lancome Colour Design "Star Eyes" PaletteI have another Lancome ad to share with you today! It seems we always get these all at once ... not complaning though! This is another ad for the Lancome Colour Design palettes. There are 12 palettes altogether divided into three groups - "Drama Eyes" (from the March 10 post below), "Doll Eyes" and the one below, "Star Eyes". I've added them all to the Lancome 2013 page for you to check out! 

Daria is also on the Lancome home page, seeing as these palettes officially launch mid-March (aka right now!). If you're interested in all of the actual palettes then you can check out the Lancome site by clicking on the image below.

March 12 2013 - Lancome Genifique Eye Light PearlIt looks like another Lancome ad flew under our radar! I stumbled upon a promotional picture for one of Lancome's serums and was 99.9% sure the eyes in the ad were Daria's ...



I held off posting until I found the video spot to accompany the ad and yep it's her! Daria fronts the campaign, for what I'm assuming is the 2012 year, for the Lancome Genifique Eye Light Pearl. Although this product was released as far back as September in Australia it seems like Lancome is really pushing it forward this year. Hopefully you'll see it in print, and enjoy the few seconds or so of Daria in the commercial! Oh, and she's even on the packaging!

March 10 2013 - Lancome Hypnose Drama Eyes
Hey guys! Long time no post! Unfortunately something with my website is preventing me from making new posts so even though I've been trying to update the site in a few weeks I haven't been able to! So I guess a compromise is best - I'll just keep this one post updated (with dates) and place all the Daria news here!

We finally have a new Lancome ad! I was actually flipping through magazines at my bookstore today to see if there were any new images for the spring season. I was out of luck but fortunately single_lady at the bellazon.com forums found this! This is for Lancome's Hypnose Drama Eyes palette and mascara.

August 19 2012 - Vogue Paris September 2012
Its been almost half a year since we've seen Daria on the cover of Vogue Paris (a very long intermission for anyone who keeps track) but editrice Emmanuelle Alt has placed Daria, along with her other favourites Lara Stone and Kate Moss, on the cover of the September issue.



The covers, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, feature all three models in the same garments and setting and succeed in highlighting all three models' distinct features. For Daria ... I can't get enough of those eyes.



It seems like this trio is a favourite for photographers these days - perhaps a new version of the nineties Trinity of Linda, Christy and Naomi? They've all been photographed by Bruce Weber in that great July 2008 issue of W. But even I'll admit that they have a long way to go before reaching the status of their predecessors.
