Kristen McMenamy

[Northern Star]

I'm at a loss for words right now, with the astonishing influx of amazing work which is coming steadily in for Kristen.
The Dazed edit of course easily trumps the Vogue US edit. in terms or originality, style and pure beauty. Kristen total ethereal in the outdoors and the hair that I originally wasn't too fond of, seems to be a star on it's own.
The 5th pic of the edit. is just totally mesmerising.
Thanks so much NeverDrinkAgain for all of this.

Kristen McMenamy

The iconic 90s supermodel returns to front Dazed's August Issue

The self described “first weird-looking model”, iconic 90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy brazenly stormed into the fashion world with her distinctive features and bleached eyebrows, helping overturn every tired beauty cliché and making way for a whole new generation of girls who didn’t fit the mould. Notoriously irreverent, Kristen used to stride down runways saying ‘**** you’ under her breath, and famously steamed past security at the Ritz into Versace’s fitting, on hearing that he thought she was too fat for his show. Kristen stripped down to her heels, demanding “You call this fat?” and was unsurprisingly booked on the spot. Kristen has worked with luminaries ranging from Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon and Juergen Teller to her favourite designer Karl Lagerfeld, who walked her down the aisle at her wedding.

Now 46 and a mother of three, Kristen isn’t going anywhere. She’s Dazed’s cover star this month, in a forest odyssey inspired fashion feature shot by art photographer Tierney Gearon and styled by Dazed Fashion Director Karen Langley. Kristen reveals that it was her eldest daughter who encouraged her to model for Dazed. "My 16 year old daughter fills me in on a lot of stuff. She had an issue of Dazed with The xx on the cover, and that convinced me to do one for you too!” says Kristen. “I thought Dazed was cool, because you deal with culture and it’s not just a fashion magazine. It’s really nice, being able to work on both
sides."

This Dazed exclusive video, created by Tess Jouany, teenage daughter of make-up artist Teresa Pemberton, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the day of the cover shoot.

I had no idea until the other day that Kristen's long grey hair is really hers and not a wig.

It's stunning! Is it wrong that I now find myself wanting to go prematurely grey?

Oh, that Kristen!

This might be a good time to see a wild and uninhibited Kristen from years ago.
I owned the magazine that this is from but neglected to note the date. I'd guess around 1997-8. Help anyone?
Note the difference in the spelling of last her name in the photo.

The Cult of Kristen McMenamy


Model Kristen McMenamy is talking to me from inside of her closet. “My four-year-old son is taking a nap,” she says into the telephone receiver. “If he wakes up, it’s over.”

The indomitable (and soon-to-be-wide-awake) Eddie isn’t the only one in hot pursuit of his mother these days. Fashion, it seems, has come down with a case of McMenamy mania: Designer Alber Elbaz cast the nineties icon (along with a pair of fantastically neurotic cats) in his recent Lanvin campaign; Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez channeled her signature plum-red lip color backstage at their fall show; the next day, Francisco Costa tapped her to walk his Calvin Klein runway . . . and rumor has it that Gaga’s favorite blonde bob is a platinum version of the black style McMenamy made famous mid-decade.

I thought it was either a wig or she colored it just for fun/schock purposes too. she looks amazing but now that I know i's real I'm surprised that she went full grey so young no? I know that everyone offcourse is different but still.
