Doutzen Kroes

[mikel]

Posted by Flashbang in the HB thread:

The July 2009 cover of Harper's Bazaar has become quite the controversary. The newstand cover features a paparazzi picture of Angelina Jolie, from a red carpet last December, pulled from a photo service, and there is no interview with the actress inside. The subscriber's cover, on the other hand, is a portrait of Doutzen Kroes taken by Terry Richardson, with an accompanying editorial inside.

Glenda Bailey writes in her editor's letter: "For a magazine, the best accessory is a beautiful woman on the cover. This month, we have two." Her readers seem to disagree — the Angelina cover has caused an uproar. As Fashionista puts it: "Bazaar is meant to be one of our venerable American fashion magazines. And this reeks of tabloids more than fashion." A chorus of comparisons to Grazia, InTouch Weekly, and US Weekly from various fashion outlets chime in.


Granted, Steven Meisel did a paparazzi-shot cover of Nicole Richie for Vogue Italia in October 2006, but it was a cultural satire; The Bazaar cover seems "an obvious sales ploy," according to Fashionista, and has people wondering why they didn't have Angelina sit for a shoot — is money really so tight that a studio shoot couldn't be done and no actress could be found to do the honors?


In Glenda Bailey's editor's letter, she applauds Doutzen — "a model whose face is definitely one to watch. It would be no surprise to me if she became one of the top models of our time" — which leaves many wondering, with the Doutzen cover produced in true Bazaar spirit, why it wasn't used for the newstand, too.

what's the point of saying this? why it wasn't used for newsstand too? why, they would make 2 newsstands cover and 1 more for subscribers? sure Doutzen is a celebrity now but she's light years away from being as famous as Angelina. how many models got covers for US Vogue, US Elle & US Bazaar?
I'm quite surprised & pleased they made a different cover with a model for subscribers and that's what they should do always & same goes to Elle.

She needs the hair (colour, length, style) of Maryna linchuk at the vs show. It would look so nice on her.

I just think Doutzens face is so flawlessly beautiful but unlike Stam she really doesnt know how to style herself/choose the right hair and makeup.. but thats just me. Others may love it all .. its just an opinion .

so true! it's a pity because she has what it takes to be a knockout at these events but she always seems to fall short...well at least her face is naturally beautiful so it makes up for it

modelinia blog

June 12, 2009.

Last night, GQ and Barneys hosted a party to honor the magazine’s creative director, Jim Moore, on his CFDA Award. Modelinia’s own creative director, Douglas Keeve, took his trusty camera and sent us some amazing pictures…and a few of his thoughts on the night.



GQ, where’d you put the boys? I thought this was a Gentlemen’s Quarterly party? Models nearly outnumbered the men, and they all wanted Moore. Jim Moore, that is. To keep it short and sweet, we had Hilary Rhoda standing tall in Miu Miu heels, Elise Crombez in Alejandro Ingelmo heels, alongside fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Alana Zimmer, and Zuzana Gregorova.

She looks really good.

^ yes her official website! maybe the fans should make one for her.. like they are doing for Andi Muise. Andi herself is updating her fans who are keeping her site up to date.. Maybe Doutzen is willing to do the same..?

Dutch supermodel visits dance4life Russia

Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes, in Moscow for the opening of the Volvo Fashion Week Moscow, took some time recently to visit the dance4life Russia regional program meeting at their offices in Moscow.



Despite some initial language problems, Doutzen was told about the program and its presence in the regions. Of course, a visit would not be complete without dancing the drill – with a good bit of russian freestyle thrown in for good measure!

To finish, Doutzen answered some of the team’s questions. On being asked what her impressions had been of the visit, Doutzen replied “I was very happy to find people of my own age that are interesting, open and solving the problem in the most enjoyable way - by dancing.”
