Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

In a Marie Antoinette infused with an Asian influenced winter wonderland-type editorial entitled “China White,” 25-year-old Russian cover girl Sasha Pivovarova of IMG, who recently renewed her contract with Longchamp, is featured in the March 2010 issue of Vogue UK shot by photographer Tim Walker. As the star of this fantasy world, stylist Kate Phelan showcased Sasha in a white Yves Saint Laurent sleeveless double crêpe cotton dress coat with white Cornelia James opera gloves and white Jonathan Aston tights, a cream Chanel taffeta minidress and white Chanel leather shoes with Bebaroque printed tights, a white John Rocha crochet top with peplum waist and John Rocha leather clogs with white Dolce & Gabbana silk shorts and Jonathan Aston tights, a Giambattista Valli linen/silk ruffle-front cape with white Cornelia James opera gloves and Bebaroque printed tights, and a white Fendi shredded voile shift dress with John Rocha leather clogs. Utilizing a setting in shades of blue and whites, the editorial looks very classic and French with my favorite look being the Gianfranco Ferré strapless silk-organza minidress with Natacha Marro printed suede ankle boots surrounded by pearls on the floor as well as dangling from a leafless tree.

Supermodel turned actress turned designer 35-year-old Amber Valletta of DNA is featured in an editorial entitled “V For Valletta” in the February 2010 issue of Marie Claire US shot by photographer Simon Burstall. Edited by Elizabeth Stewart, Amber is shown in a black Yves Saint Laurent waistcoat, a short-sleeve top by Rodarte, and a black Iceberg mini dress. Looking absolutely flawless and quite fierce, once a supermodel, always a supermodel.

2009 model of the year 27-year-old supermodel Natalia Vodianova of DNA, who recently appeared on the cover of Vogue UK and Vogue Italy, is the face of Yves Saint Laurent for their spring 2010 campaign shot by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. She is shown in a white, long-sleeve blouse over tan briefs and a white, long-sleeve blouse over brown satin shorts with black strappy heels.
