Happy Birthday D!

Daria is turning 31 years old tomorrow! Happy early birthday Daria! In honour of her 31st, style.com has published an interview with D. If you have a few minutes be sure to give it a read. I think you learn more about her in this interview than you have in all of the ones she's given in the past five years ... I'm so glad to hear she's not just done with modeling yet!

The Last Magazine Spring 2014

Daria is on the cover of the Spring 2014 issue of The Last Magazine photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Alastair McKimm.

Daria has a four page editorial inside as well:

Stylist: Alastair McKimm

 

 

I'm thinking it'll be a good idea to make a post like this again because every work we predicted for Daria has come true! Daria is really everywhere lately but its mostly nice to see her pop up in unexpected magazines like TLM ... i-D did you hear that?

If you don't remember Daria's last turn for TLM (she was on their premier issue!) here it is below. Six years ago ... and now I feel old.

Weekend Treat

Hope everyone had a good week! Here's a little something for all of the Northern Hemisphere fans, who, if you're anything like me, are buried under snow at the moment!

Balenciaga Spring 2014

So Daria walked in Balenciaga and I'm just like ... no but seriously how awesome is this! Daria made a surprise appearance at Paris fashion week and closed the Balenciaga show.

Daria rarely does runway appearances these days so it's such a nice surprise to see her on the runway! Even if the show in question was designed by Wang (RIP fashion). I wonder if this means a campaign in the future? Daria has never worked with Balenciaga on the ad front so it'd be great to see what direction they would take. What I do know is that a runway appearance makes for a bunch of new pictures. I'm loving Daria's shorter and blonder hair in the candids below. I'll be updating this post with any new pictures that come along!

On the news front Daria is in Ibiza shooting an editorial with Alex White and Charlotte Tilbury. My best guess is for W Magazine. You can also see Daria's most recent editorial in Vogue Russia on the Editorials page. Also check out this super cute post by a reader - she took Daria's Vogue UK cover on an art gallery road trip!

So Daria is on the cover of Vogue Russia October 2013 ...

And I'm just sitting here like ...

How could someone let this happen to you?! Girl, no. Let's just move on from this and pretend like it never happened. And can Conde Nast collectively agree on retiring the mullet for their covers? I think two appearances in one month is more than enough.

Twice Is Nice ... Harper's Bazaar Germany & Fashion Magazine

I'm sure most Daria fans know by now that in terms of work when it rains, it really pours. That's why I've got two editorials to share with you in this post, spanning across both sides of the Atlantic. The first is a beauty editorial from newly launched Harper's Bazaar Germany and the second a return to Canadian Fashion.

Bazaar Beauty Talk

Harper's Bazaar Germany September 2013

Daria Werbowy by Mark Abrahams

      

The Harper's Bazaar editorial is a beauty shoot, which makes sense on a business basis. Daria is the face of Lancôme and these kind of features are in order. Personally I've never been a fan of them save for the odd shoot. I would have loved to see the direction HB Germany would have taken with an editorial shoot. There are some beautiful images here but I feel like I've seen it before.

Fashion October 2013

This Fashion editorial is much more my taste. Its also a refreshing contrast to the more low maintenance approach Daria has taken in her editorials. Her Vogue UK feature confirmed that Daria is now her own manager than ever but its nice to see her change gears and dress up in a biker/post-punk/grunge mashup ... is that what you would call it? Either way how amazing is that first picture? Daria makes a good Charlotte Rampling?

Behind the Scenes with ET Canada

Apart from Linda Evangelista, Daria is Canada's most famous modelling export. So when she lands the cover of a local magazine, its big news. Which I love because it means interviews on interviews, and usually a segment on a cheesy news show. As such, ET Canada filmed a behind the scenes look of the Fashion cover story:

It seems that this editorial was shot around the same time that Daria was in town for the Lancome "Roses by ..." exhibit. I'm excited to see how the biker theme translates onto print - you can never really go wrong with models and bikes can you?

Fashion usually hits newsstands at the beginning of the month so I'll try to get this scanned if scans don't already start popping up!

FASHION Magazine October 2013

Cover overload! Sorry to be repetitive but here is another cover to share with you guys. This time its for Fashion Magazine's October 2013 issue. Fashion is a Canadian magazine that has championed Daria from the beginning and this is her ninth appearance on the cover! 

Fashion October 2013 Daria by Chris Nicholls

I guess this is good news for those of us who can't get our hands on the German issue of Harper's Bazaar.  I'm personally not the biggest fan of this magazine (case in point, this cover ...) but every time Daria makes an appearance I pick up an issue. There are usually only one or two photos in the feature so I'm hoping they publish more this time around.

I don't know if its that I've become lax to fashion but I've been a fan of mostly everything Daria has put out lately. Granted, this cover doesn't go along with the more natural persona that Daria has been projecting as of late but there's something about a cover so obviously fashion, for lack of a better word, that I love. Sometimes you just need chandelier earrings and a blow out on a cover. But then again maybe this is just the heat wave in town talking.

There's a sneak peek of the interview over at Fashion's website. I'll post the content up ASAP!

Why Don't You ... ?

September seems to be a good month for Daria - she lands her third cover of the month with the premier issue of Harper's Bazaar Germany. In true Harper'z Bazaar fashion the cover is the iconic white backdrop with a playful take on the masthead. No word yet on the photographer but perhaps it is Karl Lagerfeld, as Carine and himself seem to play an important role in the launch of this issue.

Harper's Bazaar Germany September 2013

It seems like the inaugural issue has become Daria's domain. She landed the cover of the first issue of Vogue Ukraine (March 2013) and is now gracing the cover of Bazaar's latest European counterpart. Does anyone know of any other magazines launching this year? Maybe Daria can make it a hat trick! I haven't seen news of the content yet but hopefully an editorial will come along with the cover. 

The magazine has already started rolling out in Germany and hopefully it'll make its way to Toronto. If I can't get my hands on this are there any readers who would be able to get a hold of the copy for me? I would be really grateful!

The Lost Interview

Stranger things have happened on this site but I think this post is one of the more stranger ones ... I'm not quite sure what I'm showing you guys but I can do a little guesswork as to where these photos are from. A random Google search led me to these unseen pictures and interview. It looks like a Hello! magazine article, probably from the UK edition, and being that Daria is 24 in this article this goes way back to 2006-07. I can't get the exact date on the issue though and any information on the photographer is scant, so I'm not sure when the photos are taken.

Aside from the recent article in Vogue UK this is one of Daria's most forthcoming interviews to date, so I'm really surprised its taken this long to pop up! She talks about working on the Fall 2006 Chanel campaign, touches on Josh Hartnett, her fear of snakes and most interestingly ...

There's been a lot of Irish in this blog recently hasn't there!? It's just a happy coincidence that I found the interview at this time. I had a laugh knowing Daria would go on to find herself an Irish carpenter to shack up with, six years down the road!

Something Old, Something New

The start of this month has been quite busy and it seems like July is the time to make up for the lack of work this year. I posted a preview of Daria's fall 2013 campaign for Isabel Marant a while back and now we have the full campaign! I love this first image here and its great to see Daria continuing her streak with the brand. 

  

Another Isabel Marant campaign is not all that surprising but this Fall 2013 ad for Diane Von Furstenberg is right out of left field! The campaign is photographed by Sebastian Faena and there are eleven images in total. I love what I see so far so I can only hope the other images are this good.
