^^ Great hair
What does she do??
Don't we already have a thread for her here?

 

[PetitPuppy]

I don't think we have one.

 

[ponytrot]

well we did have one a while back, but it was abit controversial as she really didn't do much at the time and the thread mainly consisted of her myspace/cobrasnake pics.

so she was merged into the myspace style thread.

She was in the recent issue of Nylon.

I don't like how they styled her hair in Nylon. It would have been better if she had just done her own since the way she normally has it looks way better.

from her myspace

Being called an It girl, or, even moreso, an Internet It Girl, makes 20-year-old Harley Viera-Newton laugh. "I feel like I've made fun of people called It Girls," she says. At first, she dismisses it, she finds the label "a little embarrassing," explaining it tends to connote someone whose goals don't extend beyond being photographed, or partying, which she can't relate to. Sure, she's been photographed out and about, but she's a busy girl. Besides being a budding shutterbug (she's got an internship with Mario Testino under her belt, and cites Henri Lartigue as an all-time fave), she mans the DJ booth at Lit and various parties (notably, the Whitney Biennial), and plays bass in Lissy Trullie's band. She's also a full-time Egyptology major at NYU (she's learning hieroglyphics) and works a retail job on the side.
With her enigmatic style and fey expressions, her look has consistently captured the attention of Cobrasnake's
Mark Hunter, bloggers, and magazines, but it's her eclectic interests and upbringing that add to her intrigue—born in London, Viera-Newton's her father worked in the music biz, her mother in fashion, and her own style comes off as a fusion between the two worlds. "If I don't know what to wear I'll call one of them," she says of her parents. Of course, she's also influenced by effortless people she'll see on the street, denouncing trends in favor of confidence. "If you're not comfortable and you're aware of wearing an outfit, everyone else is going to be aware that you're wearing an 'outfit.' That's not style, that's trying to be stylish."

no idea who she is but she looks quite cute and her style suits her !

 

[love.cat]

i think she is just literally a rich 'it' girl, her cousins are the Dellal's so she is v well connected, i also know she is friends with lilly cole and other models. I think shes currently studying at NYU, ive spoke to her a few very brief times and she seems a nice person!

 

[ChloeFrancoise]

I actually knew who Harley was before I ever heard of Alice and I don't really really think of her as just being some random it girl especially since I know of her from bands she's been in.

Dior's Beauty DJ

Watch out Samantha Ronson, there's a new spinner on the scene: Harley Viera-Newton was recently named House DJ for Dior Beauty.

Why does a beauty brand need a DJ? Funny you should ask. I dialed Harley and got the scoop. Here's what we talked about:

Q. So how did this whole thing with Dior Beauty start?
A. I was DJing at the Beatrice Inn in New York and got approached by someone from the company who told me they were looking for someone to create playlists inspired by Dior Beauty's collections, and to host events.

Q. How do you create a playlist inspired by makeup? It sounds a little bizarre.
A. They send me colors for the upcoming season, and I assess its mood and pinpoint a vibe. Then I find songs that make me feel the same way. It actually makes a lot of sense.

Q. So what are your favorite fall products?
A. I've always been obsessed with DiorShow mascara and SkinFlash, but my new thing is DiorSkin Shimmer Star in Copper Diamond. It's got gold, bronze, and rose stripes and I use it as both a bronzer and an eyeshadow.

Q. And music. Your new favorites?
A. As for new stuff, I like Vampire Weekend and Beirut, but more than anything, I love Lissie Trullie, which is the band I'm actually in. I play bass and sing backup.

Q. What do you do with your hair and makeup at night when you're working?
A. My hair is always pretty natural, a long wavy mess. I love the cat eye look, so I do that or a really strong red lip, but never at the same time.
