Daria Werbowy, 22, is in some ways the quintessential Canadian: Refreshingly down-to-earth, despite her one-name-only status, the Krakow-born beauty of Ukrainian descent grew up in Mississauga. Two days ago, she alighted in Toronto to meet the press as the face of Hypnose, Lancome's new fragrance, and as ambassador of their colour cosmetics collections. Nathalie Atkinson was there for Weekend Post and asked her about her life.
WITH ALL THE TRAVEL YOU DO, IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO HAVE A DAILY ROUTINE? When I'm going out for events or everyday, I use Lancome mascara and the Juicy Tubes (I've always, always had lots of those as a staple), black eyeliner, a palette of earth tones and a bronzer. I'm really bad with the water thing -- I don't drink water. I'm a bit of a coffee-slash-alcohol kind of gal, and it's really hard to get into a routine.
HOW DO YOU STAY IN TOUCH, WHETHER IT'S INDIE MUSIC OR POLITICS -- DO YOU HAVE A GO-TO WEB SITE OR BLOG? I lost touch with all of that for quite awhile there, actually. To be honest, that's part of the reason I took time out. So I've gotten back into it -- I subscribe to Time, to National Geographic, and it's kind of a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I wish I didn't read so much because it can be pretty depressing. I saw Smog in London and went to the G8 benefit in London. I just saw Feist and Bright Eyes play. I do miss a lot of the shows, but I make an effort to go check them out, especially the Canadian ones.
SO YOU'RE THERE IN THE CROWD, AT A LIVE 8 CONCERT, AND SOMEONE SEES DARIA THE SUPERMODEL WALK BY. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? [Laughs] Well, I'm usually in the mosh pit, so... No seriously -- I didn't get recognized in London. It was great: I felt like I was in high school, back at one of the big Edgefest concerts. I remember being at that wearing my combat boots, jeans and a T-shirt and getting chucked around.
WALKING DOWN THE RUNWAY IN SKYSCRAPER SHOES, LIKE CHLOE'S SEVEN-INCH PLATFORMS, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? Sometimes you think about what you're going to eat for dinner, or, did I do my laundry, or, oh sh*t, I didn't call my mom. You hear comments, like, "Oh, she's walking too fast." And you just want to turn around and say, "OK, you put these things on and see how well you can walk!" A lot of things go through your head. And sometimes you're just blank and it's all about light and rather emotionless. Other times you're like, yeah, strutting. Like, yeah, all right, look at me, I'm modelling! I'm a model!
SO WHAT DOES A MODEL'S PASSPORT PHOTO LOOK LIKE? If you only knew what I went through yesterday for my passport photo! It was a complete and utter nightmare. It wasn't expired, but I ran out of pages, so I had to get a new one. The guy puts me on a really low chair, and sits me down with my chin wa-a-a-ay up. And I say, "You know, this isn't going to work, it's not really a good angle." But he insists. So I said [she chuckles], "I kind of know what I'm doing here." And I was crying. Well, he shot it at least six times because he kept saying I was moving. Finally he took it. I came back 10 minutes later to pick it up and he tore it up in front of me and said, "Your mouth was open. We have to do it again." I cried again after that, and then I just couldn't bear to have it as my passport picture, so I went and got it done again, at a different place. I mean, I looked like a Cabbage Patch doll. It was crazy.

DURING A BRIEF HIATUS LAST SPRING, YOU TOOK A FEW ART CLASSES IN NEW YORK. WHAT'S YOUR ART MEDIUM? I had always carried a sketchbook and started doing a lot of black ink. But I'm still trying to find my medium, playing with different styles. I took that figurative class to try and find my style and learn how to draw people.
DO YOU EVER SKETCH THE WORLD OR PEOPLE AROUND YOU AT THE SHOWS, BACKSTAGE, AT SHOOTS, THAT SORT OF THING? I've tried. In terms of realistically drawing, it's something I have to really work at, so I'm trying to incorporate my abstract into more figurative drawing. It's why I took those classes last spring. I've been thinking about documenting it all. It's a really hard thing because there's so much emotion involved and to capture that would be very hard. What's that expression, about every time you get your picture taken? That a picture is the death of a moment -- every time a flash goes off you lose a piece of your soul. If so -- I'm screwed!

I am curious.
( The only one I remember is "my morning jacket")
thank you! There is neil young and kasabian i think :flower:
 
Daria said:I want to learn how to draw people.

I can teach Daria, because the best drawing I can do is portrait (emotions through the face).

About her music style, I think she also like Bob Dylan and folk music (Jonny Mitchell kind of).

I'm surprised that she doesn't drink water.

certainly to me those pics look sexier than the numero cover! :lol:

i don't think she must be taken literally when she says she doesn't drink water...
about music, apart my morning jacket and kasabian - which personally i don't like very much, btw, if anyone is interested! -, she also often mentioned pink floyd, janis joplin, led zeppelin, neil young, leonard cohen and she must be a fan of radiohead. i'd say a mix of classic holy cows and some light indie contemporary music. the kind of music you listen to when you're in your early twenties... ^_^
 
^Thanks for the precision about the music daria listens ;) i'm dying to know if daria is in v49 magazine because i saw shalom pic and it seems interesting :brows:
 
I remember having reading that Daria likes "I'm Slave For You" by Britney Spears when she wanted upbeat music. That's ok because I don't like B. Spears, but this song is good.
