Fashion’s Newest Faces
Fashion is fickle. It’s constantly changing and so the same goes for fashion’s faces. Kate Moss who just turned 37 by the way, famously became the face of Calvin Klein, Burberry, Chanel, Dior, Topshop, Rimmel London and many more. And with the change in times (and with Kate’s erratic behavior), brands have both run towards and away from her when carefully considering who would best represent them.
The fashion front has some exciting updates. Firstly, Leighton Meester is now officially one of the faces of Missoni. Check out her adorable photo here proving once again that nerds are in vogue.
Though she is not the sole star of the campaign, ( Margherita Missoni, Camilla Al Fayed, Eugenie Niarchos, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Charlotte Dellal and Jacquetta Wheeler were also photographed for the ad campaign), she certainly looks like she is enjoying her model moment.
Another queen B from gossip girl that is the new face of fashion is Blake Lively. Possibly, the luckiest of all fashion faces, she just got appointed as Chanel’s ambassador for their new Mademoiselle handbag!
I think Karl made a fabulous choice. She is as he praised, the “American Dream Girl” with her effortlessly sexy locks, model figure and charming smile.
Following the trend of using celebrities as the new faces for fashion, Ann Taylor, a brand that I’m currently intrigued with, chose Katie Holmes to debut their Spring 2011 collection. I barely recognized those steely eyes in this photo. And who would have guessed that figure came from a recent boy-jean wearing mom?
Lastly, I’m excited to see that finally, an Asian model has signed such a high-profile cosmetics contract with Estee Lauder. This is sort of old news (2010) but I can’t help celebrating Liu Wen, who is the first-ever Asian to land the EL contract and also the first Asian to also walk the Victoria’s Secret runway.
Who is your favorite model of the moment or fresh face of fashion?
