H&M SHOP FOR A REPLACEMENT

:

Is Mariacarla Boscono the next Kate Moss? Speculation is rife that H&M is looking for a familiar face to front the forthcoming Stella McCartney collection, originally shot with Kate. Despite H&M failing to comment, fashion insiders believe the company is interested in both Mariacarla Boscono, who recently secured a contract with French fashion house Givenchy, and Erin O'Connor, whose recent campaign with M&S has been a great success for the previously ailing company. Those in the know think that Boscono is the more likely contender, as O'Connor will probably not be allowed to work for both H&M and M&S simultaneously. (October 18 2005, AM)

Replacing Kate won't make the new girl the new Kate. Kate is a fashion icon and a star.

 

[iperlchen]

Boscono Where can I vote?

 

[Scott]

Didn't Erin already do some campaigns with H&M before,anyway??

If they're really looking for girls with Kate's nonchalant style of modelling and attitude,I'd also give a nod to Jamie Bochert or Kirsten Owen. Perhaps even Stella Tennant.

 

[smartarse]

Awful choice. Period.

 

[Curious]

Replacing Kate won't make the new girl the new Kate. Kate is a fashion icon and a star.

Who said it would? I'm sure these girls are just happy they're being considered for a lucrative contract

I like both of these choices. These girls are edgy and I like that

 

[AlmostFamous]

I'll take Kate's place!

 

[tiffany]

I'll take Kate's place!

Go Taylor!

Boscono Where can I vote?

I am in!!

I adore Mariacarla.

 

[twilight fairy]

Should be Stammy.

Ahem. Yeah. Kate is better than both new candidates.

 

[AlmostFamous]

Should be Stammy.

Ahem. Yeah. Kate is better than both new candidates.

I'd love to see Stam.

 

[twilight fairy]

Should be Stammy.

Ahem. Yeah. Kate is better than both new candidates.

(just wanted to point out I have nothing against Mariacarla or Erin, though. )

Yep Stam would look GREAT in H&M ad..she has that rock n roll teenage edgy vibe which would work perfectly.

 

[lunabella]

i don't think they have time to replace kate, do they? isn't it to come out nov. 10? anywho, i vote mariacarla if those are the only two choices.

 

[waukon73]

I think Stam would be the perfect pick. She just has the nonchalant teengar look.

 

[yourbestfriend]

maria carla!...but taylor would be good too

 

[Spike413]

I say Mariacarla, mainly because I lover her personality and I think she's more versatile then Erin. Erin is definitly a force to be reckoned with on the HC runways, no question, but Mariacarla is kind of the best of both worlds, she can be very haute, but she can also be fun and adorable.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Stam probably isn't a choice.. but i'd vote for her ...

as if I'm a member of the board

 

[Ms. Diorella]

Should be Stammy.

Ahem. Yeah. Kate is better than both new candidates.

I agree, I think Stam would be perfect, she's beautiful.

I mean when the Stella for h&m news came out I predicted that it would be Kate in the campaign, and no one would compare really to kate, but I think Stam would do an amazing job for H&M

 

[boho_babe]

I can't choose between either Am slightly hesistant to say that Maricacarla would be better fot this campaign though

 

[liberty33r1b]

i'd even buy stella's clothes without ever seeing a campaign, did anyone ever consider that?
we don't need a campaign, the clothes will fly out the stores themselves, believe me........
