Quick Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates but I don't have access to my personal laptop but rather a really horrible one... so bear with me! Some new Daria news

• Daria's nabbed the David Yurman fall 2008 campaign. Again.
• The remainder of her Dior ad campaign was posted online ... I must say, this campaign is growing on me
• Candid shots from someone who worked on the H&M Summer 08 campaign. Just sift through
• Daria also lent her eyes to the Dior eyewear campaign (below)

Daria on Modeling, Daria on Daria

"Sometimes you think about what you're going to eat for dinner, or, did I do my laundry, or, oh shit, I didn't call my mum. Sometimes you're just blank. Other times you're like, yeah, strutting. Like yeah, all right, look at me, I'm modelling! I'm a model!"

"Everyone said I should be a model, while nothing was happening despite my efforts. Those times made me take stock of the difficulties of this business. It is our appearance that is judged, and without a strong mental outlook, one does not last. In 2003, I changed; I was stronger and I was more sure of myself. I wanted to work again, above all to finance my art studies. I called IMG and returned to New York. Three days later, I did Marc Jacobs' fashion show and a week later I worked for Steven Meisel for Prada. Everything began to happen and it became my career."

"When I remember that I have become a model to finance my studies in painting, none of its strength is lost," she says. "I know it will not last forever, therefore I appreciate every moment."

revisited

the glamour uk article last week? i unearthed some clearer pictures of the ones that were taken at the shoot along with a few others from kettela's website (it seems like he's a favourite when daria does press)

change of scenery

finally! a new layout! i was just playing around and happened to come across this. knowing me though, ill probably change it in a week. i like this a lot better than the old one though. its much more detailed - no plain blogger for me - i love art for a reason! so to celebrate the new layout take a look at an old daria (technically young daria but old pic)
i just found this flicking through her thread at tFS. it was from the marc by marc show in fall 03!needless to say the expressions have softened up a bit on the runway - she looks like she's going to take out wintour in the front row!

ive also added a music player - i have one on the other blog and i figured why not here too. plus, the strokes make everything better

daria squared

I'm just sifting through the countless pictures i have on my computer and i came across this one.
i think it is Karl Lagerfeld a few years back? Her hair was still quite long and light back then.
Anyways just wanted to post this because i loved this picture and th news is quite slow at the moment...

in many ways, they'll miss the good old days

A bit off topic, but when there isn't much news, we should find something else to post about! I'm now listening to Someday by The Strokes. This song has made me so nostalgic! I need to go back to 2001 in NY and listen to them play live! Is anyone else excited for their new album? At the risk of sounding like a fangirl i almost cried when i heard they were done their fourth album!

thanks to eword at darialogist

daria does her best donald trump impression

waiting for new pictures can get tedious and one needs something to update the blog with. i couldn't help laughing at these when i first saw them and felt a duty to post them to my readers

the quintessential model "i-just-got-out-of-bed-hair"

10,000!

Happy 10,000 hits to me :) Thanks for everyone that has come to this blog for Daria and to read my posts :) It`s really nice to know that I don`t ramble for no reason! I hope there are more visitors who continue to read... and thankfully more Daria for us to see (no pun intended - we`ve pretty much seen all of Daria by now)

Vogue Brasil May 2008

So far, the cover count this year is up to three. And the third cover is not bad at all. Daria is quite soft and pretty. The cover is not too exciting but it should be applauded because they're not going for the sexbomb Daria look that sometimes turns out to be too off. It is very dégagé - quite Daria. Thanks to xPedro at tFS, pretty soon I'll post the HQ pictures of the editorial!

I don't have time to post it on the blog but the editorial is here!

I couldn't help laughing at the an H&M billboard in New York featuring Daria... a painted Daria. Some were saying it looks half Liya Kebede. For me it's more of Planet of the Apes. But I have to give the artists credit for trying!

Mert & Marcus

This is one of my favorite pictures of Daria. I'm not sure which editorial it is from, but it always struck me as her best work.

Daria Drought

Anxiously awaiting any news on Daria. And not to leave you without a picture, a backstage shot from a few years ago. Does anyone know what show this was from?

Reader Requests

I'll do this once in a while for readers who request images or info on Daria - to build up an archive. Kiki, in the cbox requested a larger picture of Daria that was on the sidebar.
It's actually one of my favourite pictures of Daria ever. I love her stare - it's so dark and conveys so much. It was shot by Mario Sorrenti from the 2005 August issue of Vogue Paris.
