World Cup Fever

Its that time again, where countless cars are adorned with flags, jerseys are being worn left and right and the nationalism is spiked up a few notches. Yes, its World Cup time! Being a complete fathers daughter I'm following just about every game (Germany 4:0!) and getting more and more excited in the process. Now, to make this post the least bit relevant for the site I wanted to drag up an old editorial. News has been slow as of late but this editorial with Daria and Cristiano Ronaldo from 2007 is sure to put you all into the FIFA spirit.

Vogue US March 2007 : The A-Team

Daria Werbowy and Cristiano Ronaldo by Mikael Jaansen

This is standard US Vogue fare, the cheesy editorial with a sports star and model. But what I liked about this photo story was the fact that Daria was playing a super manager, not just a super girlfriendd clinging to Ronaldo! Mikael took some great shots and Daria and Ronaldo look like they're having fun. Now Daria fans ... who are you cheering for?

Americans In Paris

I didn't have to wait long to make this post - an extra special thanks to clo at tFS for scanning this editorial so quickly! Daria appears in six pages in the May 2010 issue of Vogue US photographed by Mario Testino.

First glance at this and I just knew it had Marie-Amélie Sauvé's styling written all over it. Or in this case ... styled? Marie-Amélie Sauvé, who once used to be my favourite stylist at Vogue Paris, have moved over to the American counterpart and left a slightly Parisian stamp on her work. I for one, couldn't be more ecstatic.

I've been waiting years for Daria to appear in somemthing like this. Yes, I am aware that not all Parisians wear berets and trailing capes and the this editorial if full of cliched ideas but thats just exactly why I love it. Maybe its the francophile in me but I love everything in this editorial.  I can distincltly remember walking down the same streets last summer ... and anything with a vague Jane Birkin reference is enough to win me over. I wonder if Daria cut her bangs for this editorial? I think an obligatory Jane Birkin picspam is in order.

 

Daria Americana

I love the fact that for their annual Great American Women issue Vogue US chooses to feature Daria in not one but two editorials. The top Canadian model dominating an Americana issue ... I'm fine with that. Daria appears in both Americans in Paris, and American Experience, the latter of which is shaping out to look really good. I get such a Terry Richardson/Vogue Paris/Jane  Birkin vibe from these. Vogue Paris + Richardson's street work = a really good combination so this is something to look forward to.

Americans in Paris (6 pages)
Model: Daria
Photographer: Mario Testino

American Experience (12 pages)
Models: Daria, Frida Gustavsson, Karlie Kloss, Sasha Pivovarova, Lara Stone, Raquel Zimmermann, Liya Kebede, Patricia Van Der Vilet, Kasia Struss and Mirte Maas.
Photographer: David Sims

This studio editorial is decidedly more different than the one above but I'm liking this nonetheless. The makeup looks really similar to Daria's editorial in Vogue Paris, Tsarine Daria, this month. Just hold out a few days and hopefully everything will be scanned!

Vogue US January 2010 : Go West by Patrick Demarchelier

"Go West", Daria's editorial in the January issue of Vogue US, heralds the start of a new decade in fashion and a new decade in Daria's career. I had high hopes for this editorial and it didn't leave me disappointed. It's a refreshing take on the Vogue travel editorial and Demarchelier lends his lens to a visionary American locale.

Go West was shot in Lake Powell, a stunning reservoir in Utah and the location lends its unique serenity to the pictures. Maybe it is the National Geographic subscriber in me (I am quite biased when it comes to travel editorials) because I love this. The opening shot is particularly great as is the portrait of Daria in a head piece. As is the shot with the horse ... and the Balmain on the bike ... and ... I could go on and on but you get the idea. There is actually nothing bad I can say about this other than that I wish it was a few pages longer. It is also a great thing to see Daria still appearing in issues of Vogue - it is one of the few magazines that stays loyal to their favourite models. I hope this loyalty continues throughout 2010 ... Tigerrouge at the Fashion Spot said it best- this is one issue of Vogue US that I will not miss out on!
