Wild Irish Rose
Bad news - there's no Mert and Marcus editorial in the September issue of Vogue ... but will an Annie Leibovitz editorial make up for it? Daria and Adam Driver, star of HBO's "Girls", are photographed for a fashion story in County Kerry, Ireland.

Daria Werbowy and Adam Driver by Annie Leibovitz
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say everyone was expecting those Mert and Marcus candids from Venice to finally come to fruition in this issue. After all, they were shot way back in April and if my industry timing is correct then they should have been in print by now. There's also the possibility that the entire editorial could have been scrapped. It's happened before (Raquel Zimmermann's editorial in the September 2007 issue of Vogue) and with the magazine's mammoth budget its not entirely impossible. Although it would be such a shame considering how beautiful the candids were ... I still have hopes for the October issue though!
On to the editorial we actually get to see! Annie Leibovitz takes us to the rugged terrains of Ireland with the unexpected coupling of Daria and Adam Driver. I think this editorial might be the result of those candids of Grace in Ireland. I'm a sucker for the Vogue 'couple editorial' and a photoshoot in Ireland has always been on my wishlist for Daria. I'm sure these will look even more beautiful in print as most of Leibovitz's work does.
I don't have too much to say other than I really do love this shoot and the fact that Daria is shown in minimal makeup, true to her 29 years. That Vogue is still loyal to models reaching their thirties, and presents them in their actual light, is refreshing in such an ephemeral industry.

Behind the Scenes of Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2013
In case you haven't forgotten (amidst all of the editorial excitement) a few months ago Daria landed her first fall campaign for Salvatore Ferragamo. To tide you off until the September issues are released, here is a behind the scenes video of the campaign shoot in London.
This is Daria's third time working for the label (Spring 2011, Fall 2011). I've also added the entire campaign under the Ad Campaigns page so make sure to check it out as there are some new shots!

Five's Company
I guess this photo all but confirms Daria's editorial in the September issue of Vogue. I don't remember such anticipation for an editorial - ever since we saw those candids in Venice in April its been a long five month wait!
As for which model makes the most appearances in the September issue ... I'll have to go with Daria. On the campaign front she has Celine, Diane Von Furstenberg, Salvatore Ferragamo, Isabel Marant, Lancôme, and Maiyet ... deep breath. If she doesn't have the other girls beat in editorials then she certainly does in ads!
Speaking of DVF, the campaign video for the fall campaign has just been released. And how gorgeous is it? If the Celine ads launched a bob phenomena then I think this campaign will do something for the seventies disco ringlets. I'll hold off on posting the actual campaign until we get all of the images but for now enjoy this video!

Vogue UK September 2013 : Rebel Rebel
It's my favourite time of the year, not just because it happens to be my birthday, but because the September issues have started rolling out! We're on the cusp of a new season and luckily for us Daria is dominating the magazines this month. Starting with an editorial in the September issue of Vogue UK.

Daria by Patrick Demarchelier
Fitting that a David Bowie song is used for this editorial title, seeing as how Daria is a big fan of the Englishman's music. And, like the musician, she herself has carved out a singular path in her respective industry. Vogue UK has also been one to 'rebel' against the formula of the magazine industry. This year seven out of their nine covers were models, practically unheard of in this time of Hollywood starlet overdrive. What better than a combination of Daria and Vogue UK for the September issue - a model who rebels against the norm in a magazine choosing to do the.
The styling in this shoot is brilliant as are Demarchelier's portraits of Daria. Despite being a veteran in this industry Daria still surprises me with her modeling skills and nuances. She elevates a studio editorial to something much more intimate, a collection of portraits that convey her nomadic personality. They're a beautiful accompaniment to the article inside, which you have to read if you're a fan, and even more so if you're not. There are some new things to learn, of Daria's life in Ireland and of a fairy-tale romance with a carpenter, but its also a great insight to a woman who has grown up in an industry that both inspires her, and leads her to take month-long sailing trips away from her work. She is entirely "the reluctant supermodel".

Vogue UK September 2013 Cover
After a ridiculously quiet start to the year Daria is finally putting out the kind of work that we're used to. She's landed the cover of the September 2013 issue of Vogue UK. This is Daria's fourth Vogue UK cover, her last being four years ago.

Daria Werbowy by Patrick Demarchelier
Daria looks really cool on the cover, almost as if she stepped off the street, stood in front of Patrick Demarchelier's camera and in one shot the cover was borne. Its not so much the model on the cover as it is Daria on the cover.
I also think the relaxed styling on this cover is its own undoing. I gave a little squeal when I learned Daria would be on the cover, but already expected something laid back and relaxed before I saw the image. And laid back and relaxed is what I got. Daria in this kind of set up seems almost formulaic by now and although I love to see her with more work, especially covers, it can tend to be quite boring. The preview below does look much more promising though ... Daria will have 7 photos in this issue, and if I read correctly an article as well!
Now, if I had my way Daria would be on the cover of every Vogue, the American version included. And although the latter doesn't seem that possible, more than one Vogue cover this month doesn't seem that implausible. Some keen eyes on the Fashion Spot forums have given regard to these two shots from Mert Alas' Instagram. Both are regarding the behind the scenes production of an unknown project but from the casting (Naomi, Natasha, Kate) and styling it seems very Vogue Paris. I'm guessing there will be a multiple solo-girl covers. How epic would it be to have another Vogue Paris cover following her August one, and two Vogue covers in the same month!? I'll keep you posted!
