^Wow congrats to Daphne:woot:, thats amazing to win an award so soon in her career, and she looks so chic at the event:flower:
 
However all Daphnes shots are great,she is such a chameleon. I feel she (and also Lindsey) is more Versus then Versace yet.
 
Screencap from the H&M x Versace TVC


If you haven’t heard about H&M‘s collaboration with Versace yet, then you must have been living under a very large rock. With the lookbook already out — featuring, among others, the stunning Abbey Lee — the Swedish high-street label have released a sneak peek of their TV commercial for the collaboration, starring Daphne Groeneveld and Oyster covergirl Lindsey Wixson. With both blonde beauties resembling young Donatella Versace-esque glamazons, the TVC is the perfect embodiment of glamour, excess and downright bizarre. Directed by Johan Renck, Daphne floats down a staircase suspended by wire, Lindsey runs her little heart out on a giant hamster wheel and both girls indulge in a little cage-fighting. As for the set, Versace’s Creative Director, Donatella Versace, sums it up perfectly with the sentiment “it’s so grand”, while H&M’s creative director, Donald Shneider, concedes that grandeur is something of an understatement: “I think we actually used all of the gold paint in London that was available for this job.”
The Italian fashion label’s collaboration with H&M includes both menswear and womenswear, as well as some homewares. H&M’s creative advisor, Margareta van den Bosch — who has led collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garcons and Jimmy Choo in the past — has said, “Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and flamboyant — everything Versace stands for. Donatella Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and is perfect for the party season.”
The mistress of glam flamboyance herself has promised that the Versace for H&M collection embodies “the essence of Versace”, bringing back such favourite trademarks as the bright prints, the Greek key and the daring cuts. Donatella says, “I can’t wait to see how H&M’s wide audience will make these pieces their own.”
The collab collection hits stores on 17 November and will be followed up by a pre-spring collection, to be available online from 19 January 2012.

Marie Claire Prix de la mode 2011.

The winners from 2007-2011:
2007: Doutzen Kroes
2008: Kim Noorda
2009: Cato van Ee (still really confused about why she won)
2010: Patricia van der Vliet
2011: Daphne Groeneveld

She talks in Dutch at 2:04.
She is obviously from the west of Holland, by how she says a "r" in a word :)



I'm so glad Marie Claire has chosen her for the award. She really desevers it (and Saskia de B also, but she didn't won). Finally Marie Claire picks a Dutch model (after Doutzen) who is actually doing really great and scoring huge campaigns, big covers and eds in VI, VP etc. Congrats Daphne!
