mayb its a cavalli ad

 

[Clipse]

I don't know if she's left or if it's a mistake but MDC have removed IMG NY from her profile. It now only lists her Milan and London agencies. I really hope she hasn't left IMG!

 

[happycanadian]

yeah, that's old news, Clipse! catch up! hahaha. j/k.

she left IMG. she's signed with D'Mgmt in Milan. She is also now with Storm in London.

 

[Clipse]

Haha! I knew that, I read this thread religously despite not posting much. But what about in New York? There is no NY agency listed on her profile now.

Get ready, because the upcoming modeling competition, “The Face,” is well on its way to becoming a fashion reality hit! It’s just been announced that Oxygen has tapped supermodels Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha to join Naomi Campbell as contestant coaches on the highly-anticipated show that will be hosted by none other than Nigel Barker!

The supreme trio of supermodels will mentor the cast of hopeful contestants, using the skills and lessons they’ve learned throughout their careers to mold and instruct the young models as they compete for the chance at becoming ‘the face’ of a national brand. Each of the three supermodel coaches will get to scout and choose their team of fresh faces, before leading them through real-world modeling assignments including, photo shoots, runway shows, and commercials for top American brands.
As the show’s details continue to surface though, we can’t help but to wonder what may be happening behind the scenes. For one, it’s not secret that Nigel’s hosting gig follows a recent split from Tyra Banks’s long-running ‘America’s Next Top Model’ series, having served on the panel of judges for eight years. As shocking as Nigel’s departure may have been, the former model and highly-acclaimed fashion photographer has already worked with some of the top models and fashion industry tastemakers, which actually makes him the ideal host for a high-profile show like “The Face.” With some of the biggest names in the modeling world set to coach and special guest appearances by some of the most elite fashion insiders already on the schedule, Nigel seems to have found the perfect new fit with the Oxygen series!

Of course, one has to wonder if Nigel’s move to the fresh, new series will have any effect on the age-old Naomi-Tyra rivalry? With the supermodel trio leading the pack, and Nigel serving as trusty host, Tyra just may have her work cut out for her this season. Either way, you can bet that we’ll be tuned in!

cant wait for the face! Seems shes not doing any AD this season though coz shes not in the Cavalli ad which is quite a hot mess if u ask me

 

[Clipse]

I'm so looking forward to The Face, hope it's really successful. I was disappointed she never got Project Runway: All Stars but this seems like a better fit and gives her more to do.

Ps anyone mind tweeting her to ask her which NY agency she's with? If any! I don't use twitter but I'm dying to know!!!

 

[happycanadian]

i can't wait to see this show either!! seeing her and Naomi on tv together? epic! and i suspect this will get her a ton of press. it's gonna be fun! i hope she has a big part and not just a sort of a cameo thing.

exciting things coming up for KK!

finally, we get to see the end result of the Donna Karan shoot KK did with Liya and Christy all those months ago! and it sounds like it's gonna be BIG. a major perfume launch!


Donna Karan is set to launch Donna Karan Woman in August packaged in beautiful intricate bottles.
Global brand president of Aramis and Designer Fragrances, BeautyBank and Idea Bank at the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., Veronique GabaiPinsky said:

“This project represents Donna’s supportive messages to women. She has always tried to enhance every woman’s best features. She makes you feel beautiful, no matter what.”
​

The designer teamed up with Zaha Hadid to compose a unique sculpture for Woman. According to reports, its curving shape is designed to harmonize with Karan’s 1994 best-selling Cashmere Mist bottle.
The black and gold bottle (above) was developed by Karan's late husband, Stephan Weiss, who was a sculptor for Donna's aroma franchise.
Miz Karan talks about the new design and how the fragrance came from womens' encounters with men:

"[This is] the next step. There is a man in every woman. He [Weiss] made all the bottles. He did everything. This is Zaha’s bottle. Woman — a woman and a man all coming together for me — that is the power of a woman."
​

Donna and perfumer Anne Flipo collaborated with the vice president of corporate fragrance development worldwide for the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., and International Flavors & Fragrances, Trudi Loren, to flavor the scent with orange flower, sandalwood, and Haitian vetiver.


Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the ad campaign featuring Christy Turlington Burns, Karolina Kurkvova and Liya Kebede that is due to drop in September in major mags.

Woman will be available in about 240 stores including Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdales and will be up for grabs in the U.K. at Harrods this fall.
The collection includes eaux de parfum in two sizes running from $85 to $115, body lotion for $50, and a cleansing lotion at $45.
The label estimates a $20 million projection in its first year with about $10 million to be spent on advertising and promotion.
Dayum!
Creating juice can sure get you a lot of cheddar.
The fashion designer also has plans on putting together another fragrance to specifically aid Haiti based on vetiver, a scent that can be found on the island.
That's nice!
From the looks of it, the fashion designer has a lot of smell goods on her hands that can only take her further to the top.
Get your whiff on girl!

Target racks up glamour fashions from Italian designer Roberto Cavalli

TARGET has turned to exotic designer Roberto Cavalli to bring fashion from the "French Riviera to Wagga Wagga."

Known for his sexy, supermodel-ready designs, including a penchant for animal print and embellishment, the Italian designer's collection will range in size from 8 to 16 and be priced from $49 to $129.
The store aims to fill the gap between budget retailers and higher-end fashion houses of David Jones and Myer.
"We're looking to occupy the space between the big discount stores and department stores," said Target managing director Dene Rogers.
"We think there's demand by Australians for affordable, luxurious and fashionable products. And we want to be a complement to Kmart, not a competitor, from [our parent company] Wesfarmers' perspective."
Target's first glamour offensive is the reinvigoration of its Designers For Target initiative with Italian maestro Cavalli kick-starting it.








"I'm hoping we can bring fashion from the French Riviera to places like Wagga Wagga," said Rogers.
The collection will be exclusive to Target in Australia, and will launch on October 31.
Thereafter, the initiative, which has been occasional at best since its first Stella McCartney collection in 2007, will increase in frequency to four or five collections per year, including overseas and Australian designers.
"It'll probably be a little bit more weighted towards international designers because of sheer numbers," said Rogers, adding that they were already in discussions with three more designers about collaborations, with the next collection likely to launch early next year.

 

[happycanadian]

well we knew she was collaborating with Cavalli on something. turns out it was many things. all the outfits in Cannes and at the Life Ball. plus the epic editorial for VOGUE Espana and also this Cavalli for Target campaign, which i'm sure is paying her very handsomely and will be all over the place internationally. yay!!

 

[Clipse]

She looks amazing in that shot! But is that collection, and more importantly, that campaign, just for Australia?

 

[TommyGirl]

^Yeah, I got that impression from the text, particularly this sentence "The collection will be exclusive to Target in Australia..." But I am sure they still paid her very, very handsomely for this
