Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

The eldest daughter of Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon and model Yasmin Le Bon is 20-year-old model Amber Le Bon, who is featured in an editorial entitled “The Name’s Bon” for Tatler March 2010 shot by photographer Marcin Tyszka. Full of vibrant colors and bold prints, Hannah Teare styled Amber in a silk dress and underskirt by Emporio Armani, a Prada silk dress, a Moschino dress with beaded neckline, a silk sleeveless dress by Roberto Cavalli, a Dior silk-chiffon dress, and a Louis Vuitton silk dress. Utilizing a country home setting, my favorite look on Amber is the Moschino dress with a beaded neckline due to the bright oranges and lime greens looking stunning against Amber’s bronzed skin.

In an editorial entitled “Lookbook” for Elle Italia February 2010, 22-year-old Italian supermodel Vanessa Hessler of Glamour Models, Dutch model Charon Cooijmans of Marilyn Agency, Georgian model Anna K., and Dutch model Valerie Van der Graaf of SPS Model Management star in this simple editorial shot by photographer Michael Sanders. These lovely ladies are shown in designers such as Jill Sander, Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Pierre Mantoux, Moschino, Chanel, Max Mara, and Ralph Lauren with my favorite item being the gray top with the Karl Lagerfeld embellishment.

For the magazine’s monthly What’s Next spread, the March 2010 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US features 36-year-old Canadian supermodel Shalom Harlow of IMG in her gorgeous curly locks. Shot by photographer Glen Luchford in a ten-page layout, Stylist Melanie Ward showcases Shalom in this spring’s trends of denim, pattern, and neutrals by designers Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Versus, Alexander Wang, Yves Saint Laurent, Tommy Bahama, Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Moschino, Dior, Etro, Eres, and Roberto Cavalli. In this casual and classy layout, my favorite look is simply the pale green Chloé top and black Chloé shorts with a long, thin, silver Hermès necklace reflected in the mirror being very classic and glamorous.

35-year-old fashionista Victoria Beckham is featured on the cover of Glamour US for the March 2010 issue showing a slightly more casual housewife side to Victoria. She is showcased in a Wildfox tee and her own brand of jeans, a black Marc Jacobs bra and white cardigan with Moschino Cheap and Chic shorts and lilac Christian Louboutin heels, a floral Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit with peach Christian Louboutin heels, a Sonia Rykiel top with her brand of denim shorts and green Christian Louboutin heels, a pink Burberry Prorsum trench, a cream dress by her own brand, and a lavendar Marchesa dress along with the cutest golden retriever puppy. I really like how Glamour showed Victoria doing the everyday housewife tasks from washing the floors and giving the puppy a bath to throwing a birthday party for the kids, cooking in the kitchen, and running errands.

In the magazine, she talked about what she thinks is the sexiest part about a woman. She says, “I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.”

Often times smiling is strictly prohibited in a fashion editorial, but in the February 2010 issue of Vogue Spain this is not the case. 20-year-old model Chanel Iman of Ford Models, who recently appeared in Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show in November, is featured in an editorial entitled “Happy Face” showing her having fun with big smiles and girly gestures shot by photographer Michelle Ferrara. Styled by María Aguilar in pieces from the spring collections, Chanel is shown in big-shouldered top by Iceberg, a flowered Moschino dress, a fruit covered dress also by Moschino, a royal blue top by Gianfrano Ferré, a silky teal tie dye dress by Alexander McQueen, and a blue and gold print bell dress from DSqaured2.
