Here is the behind the scenes video of  Lara Stone’s ck Calvin Klein shoot.  She looks just as stunning in the video as she does in the ads.  The make-up was flawless, and a special shout-out to those fire engine red lips.  Bright pouts contrasted perfectly against the minimalist pieces in the collection; they drew attention to the beautifully constructed pieces.  The models were very androgenous, and it gave the ad a futuristic vibe.  It all culminated into one sexy shoot.

The models came out in full force in support of Fashion’s Night Out Spring 2010 PSA.  This worldwide event is held annually to support the fashion and retail industries; it takes place on September 10th.  A televised special on the shopping event on steroids will be aired on CBS on September 15th.  Last year FNO was among the most exciting events during fashion week.  Fortunately, it is shaping up to be even grander this year.  The evening is also about shopping for a cause, forty-percent of the proceeds from the Fashion’s Night Out T-Shirts will go to the New York City AIDS Fund.  Some of the biggest names within the modeling industry appear in the public service announcement, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes, Liya Kebede, Karolina Kurkova, Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman, Lily Donaldson and Sasha Pivovarova to name a few.  Let these ladies be your tour guide as they travel throughout New York City.

Fashion’s Night Out Designed New Collection

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 to Host A Runway Show With Over 200 Models

Lara Stone is the new face of Calvin Klein’s fall 2010 ad campaign.  We are only halfway through 2010 and the model is already having a great year.  After getting married last month, she heads the campaign for the label that ushered in the waif look in the 90′s when they signed Kate Moss.  “I conceived my fall 2010 collection with a self-aware and assured woman in mind. For me, Lara was the perfect choice for the new campaign because she is a woman who epitomizes confidence and sensuality,” says the house’s creative director Francisco Costa.  Stone has been the go-to model when it comes to the modern woman with curves.  Though the design house is not the leader in the curvy movement, this shift is noteworthy because Lara is now the face of Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans.  The campaign was shot by photographers Mert and Marcus.

Model Lara Stone tied the knot last weekend to comedian David Walliams in London.  The model bride wore a wedding gown designed by Riccardo Tisci to the wedding ceremony, and wore a Givenchy dress to the reception.  It was a double win for the house of Givenchy because Tisci is also its creative designer.  Her wedding dress was a beautiful ivory corseted piece made from silk satin.  The reception dress was a signature Givenchy number, metallic gold, short and sexy.  It showcased her gorgeous figure.  How did she score a custom dress from Riccardo Tisci you might ask?  The two are good friends.

Prada’s Fall 2010 collection was a case of the present revisiting the past for inspiration for the future.  In this instance it was an expedition to the 1950′s, a simpiler time that is often idealized in film and television.   The color palette was very subdued, with tan, aquamarine blue, and black as the predominate hues.   Even the prints were restrained, though beautiful.  There were a couple of instances of an unknown material, it came in a tan skirt and matching jacket, and a black jacket that appeared to be made from a shiny rubber-like or patent leather material.  I loved the look of crinoline under the coats, skirts and dresses; it gave off a rigid and prudish vibe that was perfect for the show.  A few of the dresses had beautiful ruffled details and embellishments.  Some of the looks reminded me of the classic Italian beauty, and Sophia Loren came to mind.  Of course the show included bags, shoes, eyewear that completed the overly demure, but equally sexy looks.  Okay, the boots were not very reserved, they were unabashedly hot.  We now know that the Prada lady will look like a book-worm come fall with a twist of sensuality.  Victoria’s Secret models Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr walked the show, as well as model of the moment, Lara Stone, and they navigated a maze of a runway.

Lara Stone heats up Versace’s ad campaign for Versus this spring.  The design house remains true to its nature with this sensual commercial for its fragrance.  Lara has already worked with Givenchy, Calvin Klein, and she recently replaced Madonna at Louis Vuitton.  She is a model in demand, and from the looks of this ad it will stay that way.  So we have selected Lara Stone for our Rollcall list this week.

Marc Jacobs is very pleased with the selection of model Lara Stone for the new Louis Vuitton ad campaign.  The designer gives us a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot where Steven Meisel shot the Spring/Summer 2010 ad with the model.  Lara replaced Madonna, and all indications are she was the perfect choice.  She epitomizes the curvey and glamourous sought-after look of the new decade.  Arguably she ushered in the look, and we were all entranced.  The theme of the ad is natural and tranquil and it works well against the glamour and luxury of  the model and her Vuitton.  The goal of these campaigns is to entice women to aspire to be like the model and shop Louis Vuitton.  I would say that mission was accomplished.

Louis Vuitton enlisted model Lara Stone for its Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign, she replaces Madonna from the previous campaign.  The luxury brand selected the model of the moment mainly because of her broad appeal.   They likely selected Madonna for their Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign because of the singer/actress’ iconic pop-culture status.  Of course image is everything, and there is no denying that both Lara Stone and Madonna look the part.  They symbolize luxury, and if you want to have that same effect, you will have to step it up a notch, says an MIT study.  Researchers concluded that your designer handbag would likely pass the visual authentication test if your personal appearance says that you have money.  Wearing luxury apparel and/or being in attendance at certain social functions would lead others to believe your bag was authentic.  So the next time you venture out the house with your bag, will you take a second and third look at your attire because people are judging?  Or will you dare to make your own rules, and break them at your whim?  I don’t know about you, but the latter sounds far more intriguing.  Besides, isn’t that why Louis Vuitton selected Madonna and now Lara Stone as the face of Louis Vuitton in the first place.  Fearlessness is sexy and it sells.

Vogue magazine’s May cover is usually reserved for the top models, and this May will be no different. No celebrities needed this month. Even more interesting is that Liya Kebede and Jourdan Dunn are on the cover and on the inside fold respectively. May marks the third consecutive month that a woman of color appears on the cover of Vogue.  Michelle Obama appeared on the cover in March, Beyonce in April, and now Liya and Jourdan in May.  The cover is pretty fantastic and all the models look beautiful: Natalia Vodianova, Raquel Zimmermann, Isabeli Fontana, Anna Jagodzinska, Lara Stone, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly.
