Model of the Moment: Daphne Groeneveld

March 28th, 2011

When I look at Daphne I just see these massive features–the lips, the eyes, the brows, the hair are all super sized and so striking. She’s only 15 years old and has already been featured in Paris Vogue 3 times and was on the cover once for the Tom Ford edition of the magazine. Born in the Netherlands Daphne began her runway career just over a year ago, and has walked in New York, Milan, and Paris Ready to Wear, and couture shows for Givenchy, Dior and Valentino. As well as having 2 major campaigns with Miu Miu and Givenchy. Daphne Groeneveld stands out in a crowd of new comers, and is definitely one to watch.

Paris Couture Collections

January 29th, 2010

The couture shows have just about wrapped up in Paris. As usual there was outstanding make up and hair to go along with the amazing designer creations. Elie Saab’s neutral contouring and braided hair looked like it could be go from the runway to the streets the easiest. Jean Paul Gaultier showed a kaleidoscope of colours on the eye that looked like an abstract painting. Obviously JPG still can’t get enough of the jade nails!  I’m particularly partial to coral lips, so the look at Chanel was a favourite of mine. (I’m thinking about getting a fringe too!) Givenchy’s take on smoky eyes and red lips, with the must have bleached brow was amped up with a dose of glitter. Blue was the colour of choice at Christian Dior and for some of the Valentino girls who wore pastel coloured masks. In about a week we’ll be previewing NY ready to wear-I can’t wait…
