“The Daria Diaries” – Sunday Australian Magazine

00020m.jpg
Do you work out? I have a personal trainer, but I’m always late so I get an extra 10 minutes running for my appointment.

Typical Diet? Anything except plane food.
Chips or Chocolate? White Chocolate.
Pills or Potion? I don’t really take them, except Emer’gen-C vitamin C, but not every day.
Perfect pick-me-up? A steam. I swear I’m the only person who joined my gym so I could use the steam room.
Fake or Bake? I’m a great believer in the sun. I grew up sailing, so I was always outside. I’ve – rather belatedly – discovered sunscreen.
Dream creams? I’m really into Lancôme’s amazing under-eye cream, Hydra-Zen Yeux and their Acqua Fusion Fluide moisturizer, which is really light and, therefore, perfect for my skin.
Desert Island Treat? Lancôme Hypnôse Waterproof Mascara.
Best Beauty Tip? My grandmother taught me to put lemon and sugar on a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face, then let it sink in. It acts as a scrub, and tingles, but it’s incredible how much dirt it gets off.
Beauty Secret? I go to Harry Josh at Serge Normant for John Frieda in New York for deep-conditioning to undo all the damage done to my hair from styling – but I always cut it myself!

Theres also an editorial on her with old pictures (French Vogue - the one where she's wearing jeans and white shirts).

I will try to type it up and post it later...
 
^ Hey Eword, how come you've just gender-hopped and is now a fully fledged girl?

Hye Park Lover, er... er... i almost didn't understand a single word of your question... :o and missed all the humour... :(
could you ask again? :)

She plays rugby, cuts her own hair and doesn't shower on holiday. So how did Daria become a supermodel and the face of Lancôme?

Rugby. It’s an unlikely sport for a supermodel who’s just landed a plum multi-year contract with mega make-up brand Lancome, the latest in a long and distinguished list of faces, from Isabella Rossellini and Uma Thurman to Lizzy Jagger. OK, so we’re talking womens rugby, but don’t kid yourself that the game played by 22-year old Daria is in any way a fluffy version. “I think girls are worse – hair-pulling, pinching… You know how competitive women can be,” she laughs. “We had ambulances at virtually every match”.

In between her modeling assignments. Daria – who moved to the fashion epicenter of New York from Ontario in Canada – is currently searching for a local league, so that she can keep up with her favorite sport. Suggest that a broken nose might not be such a smart career move for a girl who’s just won the supermodel lottery, and she answers, with perfect seriousness, “Oh, you can’t stop doing things because of your job. I still snowboard, I still throw myself off ski jumps and land in a tangle. I sailed all the time and skateboarded when I was a kid. I was a total tomboy, so I can’t shake that off”.
Despite being a tomboy, Daria has been modeling since the age of nine – “catalogues, work as an extra in advertising, films, TV mostly”. Then, at age 14, the cornflower-blue-eyed beauty won a modeling competition; the prize was a contract with the prestigious IMG Models in New York. After high school, Daria was ready to take up modeling full-time, hitting the catwalk the week that the two planes flew into the World Trade Center. But after that somewhat inauspicious start, she’s now working nonstop, starring in fashion campaigns for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, Ridley Scott’s commercial for Prada, and runway appearances for you-name-it-they’ve-booked-her: Versace, Fendi, Burberry, Calvin Klein and luxury leatherwear company Belstaff.

“I sometimes feel like a 22-year-old trapped in a 40-year-old’s life,” she says, somewhat ruefully. “I’ve grown up so fast. My friends call me to say, ‘so-and-so is dating Bobby, and Ricky did this to Suzie, and I’m like, “I have to run, I’m off to my accountant’. But I figure that if I make the most of the opportunities I’m given now, I can have my wild and crazy years in my 30’s and 40’s.”
Initially, Daria looked upon modeling “as an easy way to make money and finance my art studies”. Now those studies are on hold. While she may not yet be on the same radar screen as Naomi, Linda and Cindy (who are all still working their cashmere socks off at 30-something-and-the-rest), model business insiders point out that Daria’s already a one-name brand, having ditched her surname, Werbowy. And at a time when the catwalks are dominated by exoic girls with cat’s eyes and panther-like grace, Daria has the requisite Slavic heritage.She was born in Poland to parents of Ukrainian origin, who moved to Canada when she was three.
“I had a very normal upbringing, which I think keeps my feet firmly on the ground. I go home to visit whenever I can, and stay up late making pierogi (Polish pasties), beet soup and cabbage rolls with my mum. They’re still my favorite foods”.
No starvation diet for this 180cm supermodel, then? “I think it’s important to have everything in moderation. I love, love, love chocolate – white chocolate, especially. But I also eat a lot of salads, and, mostly, I shop at a little organic market near my apartment in Greenwich Village, or the farmer’s market on Union Square if I’m not working.”

These days, she’s cooking for two: herself and her cat with no name. “He’s an Abyssinian kitten, and I haven’t decided what to call him yet”. A boyfriend substitute, perhaps? “Well, it’s hard to have a relationship in this business. When people start recognizing you, it’s weird: you start to question why they want to know you. Basically, I’d like to reincarnate River Phoenix or Jeff Buckley. Please!”
Meanwhile, she’s enjoying every globetrotting minute of a stellar career. Paris and Milan (for the collections), Bora Bora (for a fashion shoot) and, her favorite destination so far, Marrakech. “I love the smells, the sounds – it’s like all your senses are heightened, and the energy is amazing. And the shopping is great. I bought 10 carpets, nice of which are in storage because I have no space for them in my apartment”.
But in refreshing contrast to her first-class, all-expenses-paid working life, she recently roughed it in Ireland for three weeks. “A gypsy road trip, with my best friend. We slept in a campervan, drove along the coast, swan in the ocean, didn’t shower. It was fabulous!” (She’s also been quoted as saying, “My hair looks better when it’s a little dirty”).
Ultimately, this action girl would like to sail around the world (until a couple of years ago, Daria taught sailing to problem children), but, she says, “Lancome would be a little upset if I took off now”. The art degree beckons, too (so she can study her heroes Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon). For now, you’ll find Daria buried in Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha or Colin Wilson’s The Outsider (a study of Camus, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky and others) rather than a glossy magazine, while hair and make-up get her ready for her close-up.
Of course, if daredevil Daria has her way, they might well soon be slapping on the camouflage for rugby-induced bruises and scratches. I can’t help thinking that even with Lancome Maquicomplet Complete Coverage Concealer, a broken nose might be something of a challenge to disguise.

could you ask again? :)

:shock: :ninja: :ninja: I'm very sorry, I've always been under the impression that you were a guy.... muchos apologies!
 
me a guy?!?! :o never heard about girls who like girls? ;) :p
but... seriously... do my posts sound like a guy's posts? with all my gender concern? :o

anyway, kuba01, thanks for posting. :flower: that interview is exactly the same as in a february issue of You - english mag. :)

:lol: Don't worry eword, I've never thought you were one of them....your comments are way too nuanced to be a man. (My apologies to any men out there who don't want to be boxed into one stereotypical category...^_^ )
 
thanks. :)

of course i can't help thinking that even daria is too nuanced to be liked by them... :D :p (kidding... maybe... ;))

No, I definitely think you're right, in general. Obviously there are guys out there who'd love to get themselves some Daria, but out of biological instict the heterosexual male will obviously prefer the fleshier pin-uppy type to someone as androgynous as Daria.

Funny because I've heard those who find her boring call her just another typical beauty, but I've always thought her looks were anything but typical... Just goes to show ya, that whole eye of the beholder thing.
 
Does anyone have the HQ pic of #7267 that Daira wearing the Dior Dress?

you're optimistic, guys, about september covers... me, i wonder if linda got the cover as a model or as a celebrity.
anyway, if they decide to give a young model a cover, i think daria is the candidate n.1. IF!

I was chatting with another member of this forum via pm about Daria's possiblity of being the next US Vogue cover girl and we both agreed on why Anna Wintour would go for Daria...not only because Daria is becoming a "one name model", but because she fits what seems to be the mold of the type of model Ms. Wintour would want for the cover. Well, whether it be September or not, my money is still on Daria being the next US Vogue cover girl.B)

As for Linda being picked as a celebrity or model -- this is difficult to assess, depending on how one defines 'celebrity'. Speaking as how 'celebrity' is defined here in the US -- out of all the supermodels, Linda is certainly no longer a household name in the US (although this latest cover will likely jog some memories). She's not even a US citizen. Whereas Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington will always be popular here for the very reason that they ARE US citizens, Linda will not. Moreover, Linda hasn't even done a runway show here in years. So again, I believe Anna's choice for putting Daria on the cover would be for the same reasons she put Linda on this August cover. Ummm...PM me if you're interested in my take on those reasons...;)

kuba01, thank you for posting the inteview.:flower: :heart:

The latest Cavalli underwear ad. Welllllll...for what it is, it's fine. It's not my favorite Daria ad, but it's still darn good for a kitschy underwear ad and I would not be surprised if Cavalli underwear sales started going through the roof!:lol: It's showing yet another side of Daria's talent and that's fine. Now, all we need is for Daria to show up on Victoria's Secret's runway.:p :lol: (sorry, eword, I couldn't help myself:rofl: )

::ducks from the throwing of cyber tomatoes and eggs:::ninja:

I have the April issue but I've never seen the second picture
Maybe it's an unpublished pic... ;)
 
^ Yes they are outtakes, neither of them was in the magazine. I forgot to say that in my post.:blush:
 
at times i wonder if ppl read all the new posts before posting...
anyway, lovely shana, don't even mention vs... :o
about daria being in a cover... who knows? i'm skeptical. why daria and not gisele? or an american model? and i have the feeling that should daria be on the cover, she'll be so airbushed, so polished, so hollywood-ised that i won't recognise her... i'd prefer her in some *alternative* arty cover, like i-d or numéro covers last year...
i feel in a (loser) counter-tendency today. :D

Huh?:unsure:

OK, never again.:p ;)

eword said:

Why? Because Daria is the hottest, most exciting model to hit the fashion world since Gisele. One cannot gage Daria's overall popularity based on the number of hits here at her thread at tFS. It's mostly a young crowd here. But you can bet your bottom dollar or Euro that she is equally loved by the older fashion folks as well as the younger crowd, not to mention that she is beloved by fashion designers and magazine editors alike. Her popularity traverses both worlds, young and old. Unlike W and Teen Vogue (of course), Vogue caters to mostly an older crowd that speaks with its dollars. So YES, my money is on Daria.:heart:

And Gisele? I think that if Anna were to put Giselle on a cover, it would have been the July issue (And she should have, instead of Kate Hudson).

eword said:

Well, come on...that's a given. But there's one positive thing you can count on: it won't be as airbrushed as her Lancome ads...or Linda's August cover.^_^
