Canadian Walk of Fame | The Awards Show

There is finally a video of Daria presenting Canadian designers Dean and Dan Caten with their Walk of Fame award. I told you that the Canadian press is slow on their news! And you can see that Daria is adorably nervous in the video. There is also a quick video of Daria on the red carpet, which can be seen here. I placed subtitles below this video of host Anne Murray describing Daria - the self proclaimed tomboy!

Also, a fun fact. If you remember from last years awards, Daria had trouble finding a dress to suit her cast! This year it looks like she had some wardrobe functions as well! Her airline lost her luggage, and the two DSquared designers had to quickly outfit her for the shows!



"Our first presenter is a self proclaimed tomboy. Although that's a little hard to believe when you consider that Vogue magazine profiled her as one of the leading faces in the return of the supermodel. Please welcome, fashion icon and a member herself of Canada's Walk of Fame, Daria Werbowy!"

A kind reader asked for a translation of Daria's speech, so here is what she said. I don't know how to make subtitles on a video though, so I will just post the transcript. Daria mostly just gave a little background behind the designers rise to recognition
"In fashion its no small feat to captivate an audience, even once. DSquared has managed to consistently do so since 1994. Dan and Dean are designers who don’t rely on changing trends. They evolve from within and they are the ones that the rest follow. In the last fifteen years, Canada’s most famous fashion duo, have built a loyal following around the world. The twins are known for their extravagant runway shows. Their fashions are must haves for some of the biggest stars in the world. Their motto, my favourite, "born in Canada, living in London, made in Italy" and you can bet they'll never forget that first part"

Canadian Walk of Fame

Just a quick post and update to fill in all of those readers who didn't get a chance to see the televised Walk of Fame ceremony. Daria was first to present the awards (thank god - I don't think I could have done with watching two hours of an awards show). It was quite funny, because she reminded me of a shy schoolgirl presenting something in front of her whole school. She was nervous, rushed her speech and stumbled but ultimately it is what made her so charming! Hopefully, there will be a video up soon, but for now, an image of Daria (nervously) making her speech. You can see the other images in the gallery below.

12th Annual Canadian Walk of Fame

From the Sunglass Hut in Times Square to Yonge Street in Toronto, Daria has been quite busy as of late! Daria attended the 12th Annual Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto where she presented an award to Dsquared designers Dean and Dan Caten for their achievement in the fashion industry. She looked great - at least she didnt break her foot again! The whole look is very nonchalant and very much Daria - I love her style. I'll try to find as many pictures as possible, but the Canadian press is notoriously slow in posting pictures!

P.S. Are any readers of this site Canadian? Robert Munsch got his star on the Walk of Fame and I thought that was pretty cool - I grew up reading his books!

Canadian Walk of Fame | Take Two

It looks like Daria will be attending Canadas Walk of Fame yet again - and no, she isn't recieving a star for the second time!

Daria is one of the many guests, including Rachelle Lefevre, Paula Patton and Brian Williams, to present awards to a new group of Walk of Fame inductees. Daria will be presenting an award to Dean and Dan Caten (of fashion label Dsquared2) for their work in the fashion industry. Hopefully this year, I might be able to go to the red carpet and take a few pictures, as I missed out on Daria's 2008 visit. This is the good thing of having a Canadian model to admire - she comes back and visits her roots! The awards are tonight so make sure to catch the show on TV!

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!
