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.

Daria at the Unframed Benefit

Update Looks like Daria wasn't actually supposed to attend this event! She was walking by the benefit, her friends saw her and pulled her in for a short bit. I guess we can forgive her outfit!

Daria made a rare public appearance last night for a fundraiser event. She attended the annual 'Unframed' benefit auction by Acria, hosted by designer Olivier Theyskens.

Daria rarely makes it out to public functions and when she does they are usually art or sports themed benefits, so its not surprise that she showed up to Unframed.

It's always great to see candids of Daria and all, but I just have a big sartorial bone to pick with this one. I think we all know Daria's the last model to aim for the "best dressed list", and that carefree attitude is what we love about her ... but girl, this is bad. Like gold-sneakers-and-green trucker-hat bad. I'm just going to excuse this outfit and laugh it off because really, her indifference is admirable!

Most Wanted

It seems that I'm not the only one who loves Daria's style - style.com has put up a feature where Daria shares her top picks for spring.

She has really nice style actually, and I love all of the choices. Click here to read the feature.

Walk of Fame

Finally - my laptop is here! I can now update daily and with all the news as soon as I can - I feel complete again!

Well the Walk of Fame was two nights ago and we can finally see how Daria worked in that horrible cast with an outfit. That dress! And that speech! She looked stunning.

Honestly if I wore a cast like that.... well let's just say she looks better than most people would! I love how Daria doesn't wear a big sparkly gown to such an event, but a simple little black dress. She always stays true to her personal style.

It's so funny to see her at something like this because we all know she isn't fully comfortable with being a high profile model. Did you know that around her agency, IMG models, she is referred to as the "reluctant supermodel". I think she did her best under pressure. Her speech, although quite nervous was very endearing.

And to cement her supermodel status (cough) she's listed as Darla Werbowy and Daria Werbony at all the image sites! You can imagine I had a pretty hard time finding pictures.

Her acceptance video was so cute too! She looked quite embarrassed and it was so funny how she swore when she got teary eyed.

Also, before the event and red carpet Daria attended the Toronto International Film Festival E-talk party with Jeannie Beker, host of Fashion Television and fashion editor of Fashion magazine. Is it a coincidence that Emmanuelle Alt wore the MC hammer pants a while back? Daria has said Emmanuelle is her style idol!
