Straight From The Hip

Miss a day of blogging and two editorials, a cover and a mention to a friend's blog in Vogue (!) will pass you by ... Norman Jean Roy's editorial Straight from the Hip has been scanned by Mchunu and although Daria has only one shot it is one superb shot.

Vogue US March 2010
Daria Werbowy by Norman Jean Roy

Straight From The Hip comes courtesy of Norman Jean Roy and I've mentioned before that I love how he photographs Daria. It is an article on the street style - Model's Off Duty. Make sure you take a look at the article. It opens up with a phone call as Daria rifles between her clothes closet (yes, that closet) and goes on about her tomboy style. For others it might be trivial but I love that Daria is interviewed in Vogue, albeit the fact that it is a short phone conversation on leather jackets! I love even more the fact that Daria styled her own shot and chose to forgo makeup and hair styling. It makes for a beautiful picture.

This article holds small surprises as well. Eword, the great blogger behind The Darialogist, is mentioned in the article! A sincere congratulations to her because she definitely deserved this. She always had such interesting views on every editorial Daria was in (and she's carried those views over to ewordland!) and they needed to be acknowledged. Again congrats!

High-fashion Na'vi Daria.


Daria as a Na'vi person is not an image I was expecting to see ... but Daria is oddly very much like the alien race in Jame Cameron's Avatar. Again, I was anticipating a travel editorial by Mario Testino so I'm very curious about this!

I had also said that I would love to see Daria work with Norman Jean Roy more often and from the preview above it doesn't look like I will be let down. Hopefully Daria will have some group shots with the other models. Ahh, I love March issues! They always get me so excited for Spring and the fact that Daria is scattered throughout this issue of US Vogue doesn't hurt!

Vogue US February 2010 | Steal of the Month

The past week has been an onrush of news. A Vogue Paris editorial and cover, a few ad campaigns here and there and now an appearance in the February 2010 issue has left fans of Daria quite content. Amidst the excitation of more high profile work is a small feauturette in next months issue of Vogue US.

Vogue US February 2010
Steal of the Month
Daria Werbowy by Norman Jean Roy

It is great to see Daria working with a photographer other than Inez and Vinoodh albeit if it is just for one shot. Norman Jean Roy is a regular contributor to Vogue and often photographs smaller features and designer portfolios. The Steal of the Month page is one I look forward to each month, not just because I can afford something in Vogue but rather the fact that some of my favourite models are regularly featured. The image of Daria at the docks is beautiful and quite fitting considering her love of sailing.
