W Magazine September 2014 : Supernormal Supermodels

W Magazine has released a mega editorial for its September issue. "Supernormal Supermodels" is a 24 page spread (Daria has six images) photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. 

Supernormal Supermodels
Photographers: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot

Its a fun shoot but it looks a lot like a mix pot of Bruce Weber and Alasdair McLellan's style of photography, which just makes me wish Bruce Weber actually shot this (like the legendary "Summer Camp" editorial in W's July 2008 issue). That shot of Daria, Amanda and Mariacarla (image 6) is amazing though.

WSJ Magazine Fall 2014

Daria just shot an absolutely beautiful editorial for WSJ Magazine's fall issue. She also shot the cover, which I've posted before.

 

To be honest this is one of the best works I've seen Daria put out in the past few years. It's so different from her usual boho-beach-casual styling and I always welcome a change from that!

Daria has an interview with the mag as well - it's a quick read and Daria gives some insight onto why she took a break from modelling in 2008 ... and that she wants to flip the lens and be a photographer! Judging from her amazing Instagram I fully support this new venture.

Vogue UK March 2014 Editorials

I can fully support this crush that Vogue UK has on Daria. The cover of the March issue and two editorials inside, and thats just on the heels of her September 2013 cover. Daria's two editorials inside are Rainbow Babes by Mario Testino and Cause Celebre by Kate Moss. 

Rainbow Babes

Ph. Mario Testino

Stylist: Lucinda Chambers

I'll save the best for last and start off with Rainbow Babes. I was so excited to see Daria working with Testino again (their last editorial was in December 2010!) but this editorial is a let down. There are three things that I hate in this world: xenophobia, injustice and chunky jewellery. And this styling isn't doing much to change my mind on the last one. Hopefully this will come off better in print but for now this is going in a shoebox on a shelf in the back of my mind. Re: I really don't like it. 

But then Mossie saves the day with Cause Celebre, her first work as a stylist for British Vogue. Trust Kate to go for something rock influenced but I love that she went with lesser known band Destroy All Monsters for inspiration. The wigs and makeup and set design are amazing, and finally someone puts some makeup on Daria. Definitely would have been a better choice for a cover. Re: Love.
