Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

Shot in Buenos Aires, Argentina by photographer Nacho Ricci, 25-year-old Argentinian supermodel Jorgelina Airaldi of Ford Models is featured in the main editorial entitled “There’s Something About Jorgelina” for online publication Soko for its fourth issue. Styled by Maru Cabrera, Jorgelina turns up the heat in a sexy black bandeau and glimmering multi-colored leggings with silver strappy sandals running around seductively in the streets of Buenos Aires. Although she was mainly showcased in one look, the look was very fashionable and appealing creating a quite chic editorial with pieces as simple as a bandeau and leggings.

Having already won seven Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, four SAG Awards, and four Writers Guild Awards, 39-year-old comedic actress, writer, and producer Tina Fey is featured on the cover of the March 2010 issue of Vogue US with New York City’s skyline in the back. In a surprising black-and-white image, Tina is showcased in black hot pants, black evening gloves, and Mickey Mouse ears to hit all middle-aged women’s closets this season according to Vogue.

On being an icon for female normalcy, in the magazine, Tina says, “I feel like I represent normalcy in some way. What are your choices today in entertainment? People either represent youth, power, or sexuality. And then there’s me, carrying normalcy. Me and Rachael Ray.”

About America’s troubling weight issues, She says, “People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’—but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”

Like us all, Tina talks about wearing hand-me-downs in grade school saying, “[The Halloween costume] consisted of a bonnet and a burlap apron and a long skirt. And I would just wear it sometimes after school. As an outfit… It was the Bicentennial! People were excited!”

The 85th issue of Oyster magazine entitled “Print Is Dead” features 18-year-old Australian model Tallulah Morton of Marilyn Models on a cover shoot by photographer Bec Parsons. Styled by Imogene Barron, Tallulah portrays a day in the life of a young fashionista from having cutouts from fashion magazines on the walls and Spider Man sheets to faux fur and fedoras. My favorite look from this shoot is Tallulah in a black Romance Was Born plunge bra embellished with silver starburst brooches lounging on Spider Man sheets in a beanie smoking a cigarette due to its simplicity radiating into a chic image.

On the cover of the March 2010 issue of Fashion Canada is 23-year-old Canadian cover girl Jessica Stam of IMG, who is the face of Aldo’s spring/summer 2010 campaign, shot by photographer Derek Kettela. Style by Tammy Eckenswiller in a balanced combination of romantic and hard edge looks, Jessica is showcased in a Donna Karan dress and bandeau, an Agent Provacateur top and Jean Paul Gaultier shorts, a Viktor&Rolf dress with Charlotte Ronson leggings and black Louis Vuitton boots, a black Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit, a dress with bandeau and skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier, and Jean Paul Gaultier jacket, bustier, and shorts. Using a blank backdrop, the garments really show off Jessica’s beautiful curves and her natural beauty.

For the second issue of the online publication The New Tough, American model Heather Sutton of Next Models is featured on the cover and in an editorial entitled “I Sold My Soul to the Devil” shot by photographer Robin Black. With a gothic touch, stylist Brett Bailey styles Heather in a jeweled dress by Jenny Packham with a Miriam Haskell pendant necklace, a mustard yellow Max Azria dress with a vintage Chanel necklace, a royal blue Olima satin dress with vintage jewelry by Dior, and a fuchsia Juan Carlos Obando satin blouse with jewelry by Miriam Haskell and Cartier. All the bold colors really make the ensembles look outstanding with my favorite being the Jenny Packham jeweled dress with the intricately made sequins.

On the cover of the March 2010 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US is 36-year-old British supermodel Kate Moss of IMG shot by photographer Peter Lindhberg. The cover shoot shows her up close and personal, lounging on a sky blue chair, having afternoon tea, a cigarette in her mouth, and in bed with none less than two men.

In the magazine, Kate revealed that she doesn’t consider herself a fashion designer. Kate said, “I’m not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I’ve never been to design school. I can’t sketch. I can’t cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.”

About this shoot for Harper’s Bazaar she said, “It was with Peter [Lindbergh], and it was so much fun. He was absolutely hilarious. Peter is old-school. There aren’t many around like him anymore who really know how to take pictures. There’s him and Patrick [Demarchelier]. He really knows, and he makes it look so easy. I’ve known him since I was 18 and worked with him for Bazaar. He’s into older women, and as I get older, it gets better. He’s not into little girls. Now that I’m older, we really talk and hang out. It’s great to catch up, to grow up and be able to talk to people who used to see you as a little kid.”

Along with all her successes in the fashion industry, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris will be staging a major exhibition on Kate’s height, body, spirit, and the impact she has had on the fashion world to premier spring of 2011.

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.”
