Model Spotlight - Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell

Naomi was born in May, 1970 in Streatham, London. She was discovered at the age of 15, while shopping. Her first cover shoot was British Elle and she was also the first black model to appear on the cover of TIME magazine. She's worked for designers such as Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Givenchy, and many, many more. Naomi has also been on the covers of Vogue, Glamour, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Playboy, and again, many more. You can click here for more info on her bio.


I've been admiring this gorgeous woman since I can remember. No, but seriously, my mom used to watch FTV (Fashion TV) all the time and I remember her standing out, probably because she was black and you didn't see that many black women on FTV at the time, you know maybe except for Alek Wek, or because her body was just stunning. She has an athletes' body, IMO. We've all probably heard the rumors that she's not the nicest person in the world, and that she is a true diva, but with that body, you can sort of forgive her...maybe. [KIDIING!] Here is a Polyvore set featuring her.


Please vote on my new poll, on the sidebar, right where the other one was!! Thank you, KISSES XOXO

Model Spotlight - Eva Riccobono

Eva Riccobono

Eva was born in February, 1983, in Palermo, Sicily. She was introduced to the fashion world by a photographer when she was 14. At 17 she was compared to Laetitia Casta and the rest is history! She's been on the covers of magazines such as Elle, Vogue, GQ, Cosmopolitan and others. And has appeared on the runway for Emanuel Ungaro, Oscar de la Renta, Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Givenchy, Valentino, Lanvin and so many others that I could open up another blog just about her. You can go here for the rest of the details.

The pictures with the bathing suit are just amazing, both of them. She has such a great body, with actual curves and everything. I think she is very different. I dunno, just IMO. I couldn't find a Polyvore set that featured her, [what a frikin shame!!!] so I just added extra pics for the enjoyment of all. What do you think?

And please don't forget to vote on my poll [if you voted already, THANKS!!] on the top of the right sidebar.

Model Spotlight - Carmen Kass

On my thoughts, Carmen Kass.

Carmen Kass

Carmen was born on September, 1978, on Paide, Estonia. She was discovered at the age of 14, and at the age of 18 moved to Paris to work as a model. She's been featured on the cover of Vogue, GQ and Elle. She has also modeled for designers such as Prada, Gucci, Donna Karan, Dolce & Gabanna, Versace, Chanel, Valentino and a few more. She is also the face of many ads/campaigns. You can go here to get the full details.

I love her body, that's clearly on a Victoria's Secret fashion show. She looks amazing there. I also saw a couple of pictures of her as a brunette, not bad either. I guess with that face and bod, you can go bald and still look awesome. Below is the Polyvore set with Carmen Kass.

Model Spotlight - Isabeli Fontana

On my thoughts, Isabeli Fontana, I mean, I'm seriously considering being gay now.

Isabeli Fontana

I have a thing for Brazilian women, I know. Isabeli was born on July, 1983. At the age of 13 she started modeling and by the time she was 14 she had moved to Milan to pursue her dream career [ I bet you're all glad she did, huh?]. When she was only 16, she appeared on the Victoria's Secret catalog, causing a little drama, because she was underage. After that she's been featred on magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Sports Illustrated- Swimsuit Edition; and has been on the runways for designers like Valentino, Versace and Ralph Lauren. You can click here for more info.

 
 
  
Ok, that whole being gay thing, I'm seriously considering it! I mean this woman is bea.u.ti.ful!!! Her boobies in that 2nd picture remind me a little of my boobs, they're also a world apart. On a side note, her jawline is something serious and that last picture, just love it!

Here's a Polyvore set with Isabeli on it. I also love that kind of layouts for sets. Great work!

Model Spotlight - Gemma Ward

This week on my thoughts, Gemma Ward.

Gemma Ward

This Australian beauty was born on November, 1987. She's ben featured on the cover of Vogue magazine, just a few times over 20! Has worked in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Valentino, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, and a few others. You might have also seen her walking down a few runways such as Givenchy, Balenciaga, Vera Wang, Michael Kors, and again many, many others. You can click here to find out more about her.

Like it says on many of her biographies online, she is very different. She doesn't look like anybody and nobody looks like her. I personally think that what makes her so different, is her eyes, but that's just IMO. I love, love, LOOOVEE that last picture of her with all the colors, and that hair, OMG!

And, here's the Polyvore set featuring Gemma Ward.

Model Spotlight - Daria Werbowy

How couldn't be Daria Werbowy be on my thoughts?

Daria Werbowy

Daria was born in November, 1983 in Ukraine. At age 3, her family moved to Canada, and that's why she's considered a Canadian model, although from Ukrainian descent. Some of here clients include Prada, Versace, Gucci, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Chanel and many more.You can find out more about here here.



I think her face, as well as her body are totally amazing! She has such delicate features and gorgeous eyes. That second picture is fascinating, I loved what they did with the sand and those curls look fab on her. I try to keep it to only three pictured for the Model Spotlight but I had to add this next one [below]. Her hair is like WOW, and of course I love the bangles.



Here's the Polyvore set featuring Daria Werbowy.

Sasha Pivovarova

Sasha is a Russian model, born on January, 1985 on Moscow. She is probably best known for her work with Prada. You can click here to learn more about her. I love her sweet face and how she looks like an angel. She also has awesome blue eyes, they look electrical.

Model Spotlight - Alek Wek

I just added this section to my editorial calendar, click here for more information. I will feature a different model every week. If you have any ideas/suggestions as to who you would like to see featured here on my thoughts, feel free to let me know.

This week, Alek Wek made it into my thoughts. She is so beautiful and I can remember admiring her as a child, bald women were not common then.

Alek Wek

She was born in Sudan in April, 1977. Her first appearance on a runway was when she was only 19 years. She has worked for Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Clinique and many others. For more info on her bio, go here.

I found a fashion set on Polyvore, who features her. I think she looks so fierce in that picture, kinda like beautiful danger.
