Valentino Fashion show




Good Morning !

Ahhh I woke up filled with energy, My parents are quite nice this morning, giggled a bit with my mother & sister Doua before actually getting to work.
I wanted to get to my math revisions straight away, but I was checking out Paris Fashion Week 2010 on TV while eating breakfast, & Valentino's design are absolutely stunning, so I decided to write about it.

Here are some pictures of Valentino's design with models working it on the runway. I see the color beige, silver grey, pale pink were the main colors Valentino used, it looks fresh, I actually really like that gray dress.
Oh we can also observe that the designer put a lot of shapes into his designs, the volume of the yellow dress, the big bow on the gray dress, and the wavy color on the winter jacket...Umm NICE.
On the two first pictures, the models are wearing the same shoes, & I'm liking the design, a little bushy effect behind, I think it gives the length to the legs.
I want to talk just a bit about the "tissue" & the textures of the clothes. Is it light silk ? Cotton ?
I'm thinking really light silk for the gray dress, because it is transparent...and Cotton for the jacket and the pants...It's killing me, I really want to know, simply because it looks really good and since I do want to work in the fashion industry I guess it is important to know what "tissue" the designers used.

Anyways I need to rap it up, revisions awaits (HURRAY! -_-), so to sum up, Valentino's fashion show was definitely great, the designs weren't too over the top, I mean some of his designs are actually stuff I would buy and wear (Hah If I could afford it !) ...Yeeep that's about it, Ill write later on, certainly about Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley my two legends.

Later. xxx

High Fashion.




This article is still about Anya Kop, Im about to post some other pictures of her...
This is a model that shows so much diversity it's incredible, That's what I call a truuue model. I mean If i were a truuue photographer in the fashion industry (maybe in the future im still trying to see what I want to do, become a fashion editor or a fashion photographer..humm) I would love to shoot her, it would be a truuuue joy.

She goes Brunette, to Dark brown, and back to blond & It's weird how she appears so different, the dark brown makes her look mysterious, almost evil, we don't know what the hell she is thinking, the blond is sooo babyy doll, very Chanel ( That reminds me at the age of 17 she was booked for Chanel's fashion show in Honolulu)

Now this first photos, I love what she is wearing, kind of like "My boyfriend's pants" with a classy camisole. That's something my sister Dalia would wear...
Anya has this special pose she does quiet often, the hand in the pants pocket (or jacket) ...Maybe it's her thing, like a signature pose ? I know one thing she really loves putting angels into her pictures. Note how classy she looks here, veryy Paris.


Second picture...HELLO weirdo !
Total nerd goth alert , loving it !
The Boy ishh boots, the blazer that is wayy to big, and the white camisole...the colors are well chosen = Black and white, hello contrast.
I'm the kind of girl that really likes to play with peoples hair, and put make up on them (I'm not bragging but im really good at it ) so anyways, check out Anya's make up, pale foundation, she slightly looks like a ghost, really bushy brown eye brows ( it suits her) and dark lipstick, it's very mysterious.
Her hair, you would think it's shit, and how can someone ever get paid for such a hairdo...? Well believe it or not that hair stylest is a LEGEND, it's really hard to do a messy hairdo and still look fabulous..Believe me I've tried it haha.
One thing I don't really like in this picture, is the context...I think an all gray background would've been way better, but who am I really to even talk or judge huh ?

OK, now this is the last picture I'm posting of her today, as I am getting tired after a day of hard work.
DIVERSITY I SAY...here she is again, giving us a different pose, different look, different face expression...she's doing the "Ugly-pretty" Tyra Banks talks about.
It's slightly Tokyo Fashion Week make up, I'm saying this just coss of the shape of the eyebrows (straight and darkkk as hell) & her bluee lipstick hello very Chin Tchai zue.

I'd comment more about this picture but waw im hellaa tired. I'll write tomorrow :)

Night. Xxx

Anya Kop




Have you guys ever heard of Anya Kop ? The runner up of cycle 10 ANTM...? Amazing beauty, so edgyyyyy, with such a cute accent.
She was born in Russia & was raised by her adoptive family in Hawaii :)

She is 20 years old, and is seriously making her way into the fashion industry.
I have never seen a girl that could pull off such different hair colors, different faces expressions, + Do youu see a lot of reallly blond girls with really dark eye brows that are pretty (apart from Agyness) ..? Nope, but she does, and it looks amazing !

Here are a couple of pictures, the first one was taken by Nigel Barker, a famous photographer, he takes such stunning pictures it's crazy. Back to Anya, see how she captures the light perfectly ? She got that "wind in the hair" thing going on, and look at the eyes, yes true we cant properly see them, but if you look closer it almost looks like the color of her eyes are transparent...

Ohh youu can see how blond she iss huuh...and how dark her eye brows are ? GORGEOUS. She has a touch of M.Monrooee & the elegance of Grace Kellyyy.
Tiny detail, her shoe is almost getting off..I don't know if it was made on purpose but it definitely put a Cinderella twist to it.

I dont really like the texture of the dress she is wearing, it reminds me of a
plastic bag, but she is rocking it.

Hummm what can I say else Except that this was one of her pictures I absolutely adore..

Next ?

The perfect 80's models.


One thing that has always been important in photography, well when it concerns fashion, is finding the right person to shoot, a person that the camera would absolutely be in love with.

Naomi Campbell is one of the most famous English Top Model in the world,but let's be honest here she is getting old, and in the modelling industry it is rare that a model lasts more than 20 years. They get fired, or some models give up modelling to help younger girls pursue their dream to become models, for example Tyra Banks who is the host& producer of ANTM (BEST showwwwwwwww ever)
Back to Naomi, she started modelling in 1980, she was about 11 years old when she started (If I'm not mistaking), and ONE thing that made me go nuts, a revolutionary event if you ask me, she was the first BLACK model to appear on Time and the one and only Vogueeeee (Ahhh) magazine .
This Woman is LEGENDARY & a real beautyyyy in my opinion. She is in my fashion book history yuuuup.

Second model I admire & Love ...wait for it...Linda Evangelistaaaaa .
Isn't this woman just amazingly stunning ? I can't get over her beauty...she is still as beautiful as twenty years ago. Amazing blue eyes, impeccable lips, a cute little nose, this is what I call a girl with an EDGE.
She is a very well known Canadiann Model, yes please. A little older than Naomi, she actually was discovered at the age of 13 during a beauty contest in Ontario, she didn't actually won the contest, but Missy here was discovered by an agent for Elite model management, luckyyy biatch.
After working 3 years in New York with elite, she then was offered a contract with Vogue Magazine..don't really know how that works, but she is definitely a HIT.

Third Model I adore...& My dad compares me to her sometimes, even if I don't look like her AT ALL...Cindyy Crawford.
This beautiful American model was part of the STARS Top Models of the 80's with Naomi, Linda Claudia Schrieffer and Christy Turlington, she is a real shinning star.
She started modelling at the age of 15 ( Kinda like mee, that's why my father calls me Cindy sometimes...or maybe it's because that's the only model he knows), but at 17 she is discovered yet again by an amazing agency ELITE model management and that's where her career officially stars.

I'd talk about Christy Turlington, but I'm not a big fan of hers, she is beautiful no doubt about that, I just don't think her modelling career was a hit like her other model friends...apart from her coco Chanel ad, her other shoots aren't amazing. Although she did appear on ELLE magazine in 1999, that's one point for Miss Turlington...CHA CHING. (her eyes looked creepy omg check it out)

Now what's the point of blabbering about these models...well these women were a hit in the fashion industry and have helped a lot of "little photographers" become INCREDIBLE photographers...but more about then some other time yes ??

<3 <3 . I'm getting tired, I had a rather lonng day. I'm hoping to write tomoroww..Will see. GoodNight :) xx
