Anja Rubik

[c'estlamode]

Great news about Fendi!

And a little piece on Anja today from Fashionista:

Not that I really needed more reasons to love Anja Rubik—aside from the legs, the gorgeous face, etc—but she gave me a few when I finally met her in person last night at the launch of the Wii yoga game that features her. Here are three things I know about Anja now that I didn’t know before:
1. She loves going home for Christmas as much as we do. She even does all the baking at her house, while her mom handles the massive amounts of cooking.
2. We’re currently reading the same book, The Beautiful Fall. Though my guess is she’ll have a little more insight, seeing as she just spent four days with Karl Lagerfeld.
3. While I was jealous when she told me she’d just jetted from Paris to Nice to LA to New York…and that in few weeks she’s working in my fantasy vacation spot, The Maldives, she was so sweet and lovely to chat with that I couldn’t even hate her.
Don’t go changin’, Anja!

Maybe those 4 days with Karl were for the Fendi campaign?

^ i guess that must be it. and a very little piece that tells us a bit more about anja is always great

I secretely hope she'll be a better Fendi girl that Raquel has ever been!

Those days with Lagerfeld were indeed spent on shooting for a new campaign

raquel was an exquisite fendi girl! now let's better hope lagerfeld's photography improved, and that out of the unfathomable kindness of his heart he would give anja a tenure as long as raquel's

It wasn't posted here? (Okay it was only posted around a minute or so ago..) It seems that Anja landed the Fendi campaign!

NO WAY??! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!

Anja Rubik is one of fashion’s most multi-faceted beauties. As a model she embodies the kind of easy going and elegant beauty clients like Balmain, Chloe and Armani adore but there is more to Ms. Rubik than just a pretty face. For the past few years she has also been an avid yoga practitioner - an interest has lead to both inner calm and an intriguing new partnership. Following in the footsteps of high fashion yoga enthusiasts like Christy Turlington, Anja is now the face of the Nintendo’s Yoga for Wii game, a unique gaming experience that allows users the change to experience the benefits of a yoga studio right in their own home - an ideal invention for models on the go or anyone else seeking the serenity and flexibility provided by yoga.

Given her personal experience with yoga - she calls it an “obsession” and
her natural charm in front of the camera Anja was the perfect choice to represent an art that is both timeless and modern. When asked about why she chose to represent this product at this moment her answer was simple ” I can feel good promoting yoga because its something I’m passionate about and truly believe in” - what stronger vote of confidence is there than that.

[mr_creature]

no prob! my pleasure

true, yoga is boring, didn't worked out for me

 

[jiaqi]

of all the things and ideas anja could compel me to buy, yoga is an exception.

...doesn't mean she isn't utterly gorgeous being the spokesperson of the game, though

I love this part the most:

And where have you been lately?
I just got back from LA and am going again later this week to shoot for Japanese Vogue after staying in New York a few more days to shoot for French Vogue and for Karl Lagerfeld's ad campaign. It's so crazy right now!

French and Japanese Vogue - sounds promissing.

....She has, however, added a hyphen to her job title by designing a line for Polish accessories label Quazi. She describes Anja Rubik for Quazi as very “rock ‘n’ roll.” The fall line, sold currently only in Poland, is heavy on the studs, while she says spring is all about zebra prints....

Does it means she's going to design a spring 2010 line for Quazi?

so: Japanese Vogue, French Vogue and Karl Lagerfeld's campaign; does it mean that we'll see her in the Fendi ad campaign and the Karl Lagerfeld ad campaign as well? (considering that she said in the article above that the Fendi campaign was already shooted in Saint Tropez...)

 

[francesca073]

Wow, Karl Lagerfeld and Fendi? That would be awesome!
