Models' nightmare became a reality

Clearly there was something wrong with the shoes! During the Fashion for Relief 2011 catwalk fund-raiser in Cannes models tumbled on the catwalk. Three of the models had a problem staying on their feet and fell over a number of times before managing to escape backstage. The crowd treated each stumble with good humour and supported the models. I felt sorry for the models, but to be honest it is very funny to watch and I could not stop myself from embedding the movie from the show into this blog. Besides dodgy shoes both the dresses and models looked beautiful. The event was raising awareness and funds for the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. 

Rise of Asian models

In the new Vogue I read a report about the growing popularity of Asian models in the world of fashion. The Asian beauty is slowly starting to be appreciated in the global fashion industry after many years of waiting. I found this report very interesting, because even though I have watched fashion shows and read fashion magazines regularly it has never struck me that there are very few Asian looking models. Lisa Movius described Li Ai’s story of how she has tried to break onto the international fashion stage for years and every time she has heard ‘We don’t want an Asian’. Thank god that this is changing and we can observe the shift of Asian models to the middle of the stage. My favourite Asian model at the moment is Liu Wen. She has dramatic cheekbones, which makes her stand out from the crowd. I am not the first person admiring her look.  In the autumn/winter 11’ season 18 houses choose her to represent their collection on their catwalk show. Here you have a few pictures of Asian models, hope you will like it.

Vogue Australia loves Anja Rubik

Vogue Australia April 2011 is fully dedicated to Anja Rubik. The polish supermodel is not only on the cover of glossy magazine but the issue contains 12 pages with pictures of Anja, while spreads are generally 6 pages long.

Images have been captured by Marcin Tyszka and Max Doyle. Anja photographed by Marcin Tyszka and styled by Naomi Smith is a night fever's queen, while captured by Max Doyle shows more romantic and sensual side of her. The model delivers flawless performance and shows how many different, beautiful faces models can have.
