So exciting! I was actually going to post that I read an Instagram comment Daria landed a Bazaar cover to come out on Tuesday. Never did I think it would be the US version though. This is so unexpected!

^ Wow! Is it the subscriber's cover or will it be on newsstands?
 
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!She's on the cover of HB us, that is huge. HOTTEST SUPERMODEL!!!

can't wait for the interview!
 
Her interview is already online at Harpers Bazaar! Here you go! :flower:

Looking at a picture of Daria Werbowy is like exhaling. Her name sounds like that too: "Dari…ah." Girls want to look like her—perhaps because she looks like a woman.

In model years, Werbowy is now very much a lady. The Canadian beauty of Ukrainian descent, who started modeling at 14, just hit the big 3-0. "I actually felt something shift," she says, playing with one of her many fine-gold rings on the set of her Bazaar shoot. "I was so relieved. I was like, I can do and say and be whatever I want now—because I'm 30. There was a lot of surrendering." She breaks into an easy laugh. "If I couldn't figure it out in my 20s, I might as well just give up now!"

She'd sauntered in an hour before, all long legs (in faded-denim straight jeans), long coat (a tweedy traditional Irish brand), and longer hair, now that her much imitated cropped bob, first displayed in a Céline campaign two years ago, has grown out. These days it's a honey-colored tousle with a random blonde bit underneath. "Christiaan cut it short originally, and I'm shockingly low-maintenance. I'll get it trimmed, but I haven't really done anything to it since I got it cut. And underneath it's all blonde, which is natural. I, like, pump my arm and blonde grows out. Like Barbie." (In truth, sun, salt water, "and a little lemon.")

As for the rangy figure: "Ashtanga yoga. I'm addicted. I stopped drinking, so this is the way life goes. I'm a pretty extreme person—if I say I'm going to sail across the Atlantic, I will." (And she has, hence the two anchor tattoos on her fingers.) "And I'm very bendy." Dirty-sounding chuckle. "I've always been bendy."

Werbowy's working it all out—in fact, she recently returned to modeling after a self-imposed hiatus. "I took a risk a couple of years ago where I decided to do the minimal amount that I could get away with, because I physically and mentally couldn't handle it anymore. And it's like, you have everything you want, what you dreamt of is coming true, you can't buy anything else to make you happy, so then you think, Well, what else is there? And you have to leave."

So she did, traveling the globe, and moving to Cork, Ireland, with her carpenter boyfriend. And now that she's back, it's on her terms. "I work for a chunk of time, I do everything back-to-back, and then I'm completely off."

Of course, it's a schedule afforded only to the fabulously successful model—one who has been a face of Lancôme since 2005, along with Isabel Marant, Céline, Diane von Furstenberg, Versace, and Salvatore Ferragamo, just last year—but while Werbowy is the height of fashion, she doesn't get lost on the climb. You won't see her stumbling out of the Groucho Club; she's more likely to be walking on a rocky Irish beach, in Cuba, India, or on a boat somewhere. (Observe her Instagram, @dotwillow, among more earthly images, like one of her with tea bags on her eyes, giving the finger.) "I started on Instagram because my family asked me to," she explains, "because they never know where I am."

It's true—Werbowy kind of floats. She admits that living in Ireland is somewhat random. "Never in a million years did I think I'd be living there, but I never thought I'd be a successful model either. I never thought I'd fall in love with who I'm in love with." About her boyfriend, you'll merely get a joke: "It's weird—he's a female priest. Me and Sinéad, we're supertight. Actually," she adds, "I love Sinéad O'Connor. She's part of the reason I went to Ireland, I think, subconsciously. I love the letter she wrote to Miley Cyrus. It was brilliant."

When Werbowy works, though, she works hard. The face of Phoebe Philo's Céline for the past three years, she sees "that woman" as a role. "I didn't think I'd be able to pull her off," she says of the archly glamorous creature. "I didn't know her, and I was like, 'Oh, God, red nails,' but it just works." She's been friends with Philo since the designer's Chloé days. "She makes me funnier. We just talk **** and get on really well. I give her a hard time and she gives me a hard time, and we laugh about it." There's a lot of Céline in Werbowy's wardrobe too. "Yep, and I wear a lot of vintage. I go scrounging—Kensington Market in Toronto is amazing, the flea markets in Brooklyn and Williamsburg."

Werbowy will keep exploring, physically and metaphorically. Workwise, maybe she'll look into acting, maybe not. "Hello, HBO, I really want to be on Game of Thrones," she says intently into the recorder. "I could be a warrior; I'll do anything." And she will. Tell her that she comes with an air of freedom and she looks pleased. "Yeah," she says with a half smile, "I'd like to think I'm free."

A US Bazaar cover and new Balenciaga campaign! Made my day!:woot:
 
Coming back lookin' delicious. She closes just one show after a couple of years off the runway and suddendly she's everywhere. I've always enjoyed how she has managed her career. The industry loves her. Enjoyed the interview, I always thought she had an IG account because of her love for photography.

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2014 by Steven Klein Preview (When was the last time she shot with him? Feels like ages ago)

I don't think anything can't top that Balenciaga shot. she must get every single person attention.
 
Salvatore Ferragamo
Celine
