Natasha Poly

[Walen]

Ah, I see.. I haven't heard or seen anything about the campaign so I was unaware. Guess I wasn't paying attention a few posts up.

I was speaking in terms of my own personal liking, disliking, and aesthetics if I were a photographer. It has nothing to do with Coco Rocha as an individual in the fashion world of professionalism, neither does it for Natasha.
I don't even know why I'm explaining myself..
People have different visions/inspiration that cannot be altered by professionalism or lack thereof.

Natasha has done Dolce&Gabbana ad (SS07) as a brunette before so why would her hair colour all of a sudden be the reason she is not there, especially since the cast has other brunettes also?

 

[LiranYana]

Maryna is also blonde and of Eastern European/Russian descent No ?

 

[CharmingNicky]

Yes Maryna's Belarussian.

 

[LiranYana]

Yes Maryna's Belarussian.

so could these speculations be true then

 

[CharmingNicky]

Sure, why not. But I don't see the point in this endless speculation: it will not change anything and we will probably never find out what was the final reason for anything.

It is hilarious that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who gave Natasha her balls back after a disastrous New York season, have become the bad guys - who's next, Tisci? She's got H&M, which is a great gig, and hopefully she will get some more campaign and catalog work in the coming weeks and months, in addition to editorials and eds.

 

[LiranYana]

I am expecting for Givenchy because anything can happen right now

 

[JCFS]

I really hope she shows up in the Givenchy campaign, I really dont get the lack of campaigns espeically with all the edits/covers

Its a stretch to say Natasha had a 'disastrous' season when it seems like her absence was purely intentional. I would hardly think she of all people would struggle to be cast for RUNWAY.

Never mind.

I meant not expecting Givenchy but crossing my fingers still
H&M is getting many Top models to the mainstream and I am happy about that

Yeah it was her choice I think she was shooting a couple of editorials that time
Sasha had a disaster start for 2011 she wasn't at haute couture shows bcause of her Visa problems

i'm not saying anything about that it was because of the color choice. maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. if it were just me speculating, they wanted a blonde, natasha was blonde no more, and they chose the second favorite Dolce & Gabbana blonde favorite, maryna.

but me, being a natasha fan, just like to know what were the reasons she didn't do something or didn't get cast for something. and, in this proffesion, we never DO know...

and agee, she didn't walk new york fashion week because she didn't want too. everybody knows that! it was her choice to do the little shows she did.

 

[Tacita]

Is she still a brunette?

As you said in the previous sentence, no one knows anything. My guess is that her New York bookings were not looking of the same caliber that they had been in the previous seasons and as a strategic move Natasha's management focused on securing blue chip bookings in Milan and Paris. If you are a top runway walker who did not book a campaign in the previous season, it does not make sense for you to just "not want" to walk NYFW if there is a significant amount of interest in you from the NY designers or even do the NY social stuff like the Chanel store opening.

As you stated, Maryna is a Dolce & Gabbana favorite and it seems like they were going for a bombshell look for the campaign and she fits that bill perfectly.

Well. Many models skip NY or do some shows because of the designers etc. I don't think that from NY is that much intererest in Natasha (more in Milan/Paris) so you could be right that she focused on Paris/Milan.
And if you're a topmodel then they would book you a campaign anyway even if you're not walking a single show in NY or where ever. Maybe is in campaigns at the moment not much interest in Natasha, but that could change every season. I think it's sweet to come with some reasons why she didn't walk in NY or did less shows but it could just be lack of interest in her or moneyreasons (newbies are much cheaper). It happen to almost every model. But Natasha is a great model, she will get her campaigns etc.

H&M is great with Gisele.

 

[vogue28]

According to VogueElleAddict, Natasha has the S/S 11 H&M campaign alongside Gisele Bundchen!

Yes that's actually news for Poly's thread !

 

[CharmingNicky]

Wohoy! cant wait to see the H&Ms plastered with Poly again.

 

[naya]

With Gisele?! That's major! I tend to always look at the campaigns instore since i'm very lame so i can imagine doing it again this time. Love those runway shots posted, Natasha with straight hair at Fendi..love!
