Noemie Lenoir

shes beautiful no doubt---but wow its actually the first time where everyone is sayin positive things about a model.But maybe just maybe if her physical features weren't so european(green eyes,slender nose,) ..maybe their wouldnt be this much of an positive response.Her eyes are green,her nose slender,her skin light,her hair curly,her lips small....If her skin was dark,her nose wide,her lips big or full and her hair cropped and very kinky..i dont think their would be this kind of response...b/c I think thats how everyone responds to most african models:they say her nose is big(when its actually just wide) her skin is too dark, her lips are too big...maybe its just me but i;ve been noticing this a lot...even with celebrities like beyonce or halle berry or rhianna those who are the light skin african american women who are held upon a much high pedestal than the dark skinned african american women celebs.do others feel this way?

its obvious that all women are partially esteemed or ignroed due to their racial/class status.however, beauty was always meant to be subjective. i thin knoemmie is a good model beause of her build, ability to express herself, and the energy she brings to variosu settings--- not because her eyes are green--- and i think if peopel focuse don the skill tha a model posesses more than physical attributes, we would avoid this porblem more.

Generally, this is the case, but I don't think it's fair to generalize everyone's opinion. Actually, there have been critiques on Noemie. I and others have said that Noemie, while beautiful, is a great commercial model, but not really for couture.


Also, not all Africans have the same features. Browse through many of the black models' threads and you will see many compliments and praises for models with various features. :flower:
 
CherryFrizz21, thats nothing new. But personally speaking, my window is open to various features Black women have. I've seen green eyed so called slender nose light skin women that look like aliens to me. On the other side there so many darker skinned models who need their just due in this industry. But you have to admit Noemie Lenoir is fine with or without her lighter eyes and "slender nose". But that's the beauty of black women, they should not be pigeon holed to a certain look.

To some extant, I agree with you. But, Noemie is versatile. She is very special not in terms of her beauty but her ability to do a variety of styles. She goes from commercial to haute couture to cheesecake with amazing ease.

Not just any advertising campaign

Love them or loathe them, those sultry "This is not just ..." M&S ads have been hugely successful, pushing up sales of the group's sumptuous chocolate pudding, for example, by an astonishing 3,500%.
But it is the fashion ad campaign that has really helped restore the fortunes of Britain's biggest clothing retailer. Featuring 60s icon Twiggy, along with Erin O'Connor, Laura Bailey and Noemie Lenoir, the "Your M&S" advertising blitz is now judged to have been one of the most successful ad campaigns ever, driving an estimated 19m extra customer visits to M&S stores.

The stylish campaign, which last month saw M&S win top prize at the Advertising Effectiveness Awards, is in sharp contrast to the group's disastrous attempt a few years ago to celebrate the average female figure.

The ad, featuring a naked model, size 16, shouting "I'm normal" from the hilltops, was a huge turnoff for consumers, both male and female.
Normal she may have been but, when it comes to advertising, too much normality is not necessarily a good thing.
However, the current M&S campaign has not come cheap - according to figures from the media consultancy Nielsen, the retailer spent almost £62m on advertising in the year to September, a huge increase on its previous £45m spend. The only retailer that spends more is Tesco, the country's biggest and most profitable stores group, with a budget of more than £70m over the past year.

I think she's alright in this picture, nothing dazzling. The lipstick is too dark, it makes her face look a little harsh.
