Daria Werbowy

[Hye Park Lover]

Yeah, same here, I didn't know that too until I saw an article about her in Elle. Initially I thought they'd made a typo too, but then the lovely people on here told me it was indeed true

 

[eword]

she was born in Warsaw or whatever the spelling is!

Is that true? I don't believe them.... But who knows?

she certainly has some of that east european look

from the Eugenia Volodina thread

...interesting... Daria was raised in Canada, but is of Ukrainian decent and was born in Poland but her name "Werbowy" sounds British.

 

[smartarse]

How the hell, did they get W-E-R-B-O-W-Y from that??

In Ukrainian it is Ver-bo-vah. (but don't kill it - roll the r)

how does werbowy sound british?

 

[smartarse]

I'm pronouncing it as I see it and it sounds British. Obviously, to a Russian they seem to prounce the "w" with a 'v' and the 'y' with a 'a'?

how does werbowy sound british?

 

[Odette]

Yes when people say wher-bo-wi sounds english too to me

Thanks goods scans

 

[KaE-YU]

Is "Werbowy" her real name?

 

[sEEn]

well, her real last name is Verbova (it's read differently thou), but I guess that's just a sort of polish-english version)

 

[Polka]

not polish...She's from Czech Republic

 

[Polka]

Could someone explain me why she isn't very often(like before) on the runway in last time? I heard that now we can only see her in ad. So why???? Do I make a mistake when say that she's now the best model? Look at models.com, there's she is constantly at first site!!! So why we can't see her on 1th page of tfs?

No no the Lancome contract isn't exclusive .... she only missed fashion week this season (SS06) because she was shooting the Lancome ads, so yeah, hopefully she'll be back for FW06B)
