Thanks to an anonymous commenter and luxuryobsessed.com, we have more pictures of Daria while in St. Barts. Instead of paparazzi candids of the models taking a break, this time the pictures are of the actual shooting of the campaign. Maybe with these shots we can get a little glimpse of what the final product will look like, or at least imagine what it will look like. Patrick Demarchelier is the lucky photographer of these beautiful models - it seems Lara Stone and Julia Stegner are also featured in the campaign (along with Daria, Erin, and Sasha).
I kept getting the sense that these were candids of a Victoria's Secret shooting, even though I know they are not. Doesn't it look like it? Maybe it is just the beach, swimsuits, and beautiful women... But alas, it is 6 Supermodels, not 6 Angels :)
Even though some might think LOVE magazine's Fashion Icons editorial may be a little vulgar (I definitely do not), you can't deny how beautiful Daria is. Not just her face and body, but her whole aura as well. In my opinion, and yes I may be somewhat biased, Daria's contribution to the editorial is by far the best. Besides the rather obvious nudity, Daria is truly beautiful in these shots. The combination of hair and makeup (the only styling in this ed) makes up for the lack of clothes.
As a model, you have to have confidence in your body to do something like this; after all, these scans have spread all over the internet shortly after being posted. Daria makes it look so easy. I think she has stepped up her game and this Fashion Icons editorial wouldn't have left any lasting impression if it weren't for Daria.
I am kind of speechless; I don't really know what else to say. I feel weird saying this, but I like finally seeing ALL of Daria. No cover-ups, no clothes, just Daria = LOVE...no pun intended. :)
Tell me what you think! LOVE it, or is it too much?
Could this year get any better for Daria fans? It is only February and Daria already has FIVE campaigns under her name (possibly 6 if she has H&M Denim), FOUR magazine covers, and now there is news of another campaign - H&M Summer.
Today, to my surprise, paparrazzi photos have surfaced of our beloved (taken yesterday), something that is not done very often. It seems Daria took advantage of a work break while shooting her newest campaign in St. Barts. She is alongside her model friend Erin Wasson and just seeing them together takes me back to 2004 when they were the best of friends. According to Instyle UK, Sasha Pivovarova is also featured in the campaign in which "all three girls showed off a selection of H&M's candy-coloured swimwear and cute beach cover-ups. All three girls wore their hair in softly waved, beachy styles." This doesn't quite explain why Julia Stegner and Lara Stone were also on the same beach. And why all four of them are wearing curlers in their hair...hmmm. I sure do wish I was alongside them though, instead of having this crappy Winter weather.
Being regulars of the H&M brand, this Summer ad campaign is bound to be exquisite!
Daria is topless in most of the pictures, so if you don't want to see them, then I recommend not looking at the gallery. But if you are a fan of Daria and a regular to this site, then you have seen them before and will see them in the future. I have also included 3 pictures of Erin wearing H&M attire.
Whoa Daria! Not much is left to the imagination after looking at this cover of Daria.
I know many people do not understand when models are shot nude, because the job of a model is to show off clothes, right?? But you can not help but think, after seeing this shot of Daria, that the body itself is a form of art, especially a body like hers. I would kill to have Daria's body...and the face is an added bonus. Daria's sultry stare just adds to the magnificance of the shot, photographed by Mert & Marcus. It kind of, in a weird way, reminds me of her W cover from December 2004. From an another extreme, It almost doesn't even look like her, especially when you see it in a smaller form. Even though she is only wearing the skin she was born with, she looks rather mature and encompasses her 26 years.
Anyway, I am very happy to see Daria included in this Fashion Icon project. Janeil Williams, Lara Stone, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Velletta, Natalia Vodianova, Naomi Cambell, and Kate Moss are also photographed, with the exact same pose, which makes it even more enticing. There are still five days left until the magazine hits stands, so more covers are bound to be released. I wonder if there is a photoshoot that goes along with the covers. On Love Magazine's blog, there is a two paragraph story posted with Kristen's cover; this leads me to believe there might be something besides just the beautiful covers. No matter if it is just a cover or not, this needs to be in my collection!
I am a little confused with the fact that in the middle of December '09, Love Magazine released a preview of Issue 3, a different shot of Lara (still nude). I wonder what that was all about..
Two months ago, Daria was in Morocco attending an event and also, as we have come to find out, very busy being photographed. We have recently seen all of the work she was involved in while there for those couple of days, the fruits of labor so to speak - Vogue-A-Porter, theIsabel Marant campaign, and possibly even the Balmain campaign. All can be seen below in earlier posts.
While in Morocco, Daria found some time for a little fun at the Churchill Bar. Three rather candid photos were found around the time of her visit, but I have just stumbled across three more. James D. Kelly was the photographer this time and I have to say he got some very impressive black-and-white shots. The third pic is kind of funny in the sense that she could really pull off the whole hippy look, especially with that guy accompaniment. If you are interested in seeing the rest of the photos from the event click here.
If you haven't noticed yet, yesterday Loewe updated their website for their SS collection. A Making Of video was added, although I don't think "video" is the right term; it is more like a collage of photos. In this collage was included five new pictures that we haven't seen yet, but I am including a sixth picture, one that we have seen before. See if you can spot it out - it is one of my favorite head shots of Daria.
This is my fourth official post on the SS collection of Loewe...hopefully this will be the last. If you would like to see the actual ads in a bigger side, head on over to my ads page and scroll down to 2010!
A very beautiful Daria with no makeup and hair pulled up in a bun.
Isabel Marant's website can officially be crossed off the list of fashion houses that need to be updated for the new Spring Summer season. With this update came the newest season's ads -- four in total -- all with Daria donning beautiful garb while leaning up against a stone structure.
This is Daria's third campaign with Isabel Marant (FW 09 and SS 09), all three shot by Inez and Vinoodh. I really like how Inez and Vinoodh decided to shoot this season's ads. I also like how they kept up with their theme of the SS ads featured outside, and in the Moroccan desert none-the-less. The photographers have kicked the black-and-white theme aside; the colors of the clothes Daria is wearing, as well as Daria's tanned skin, are really accented, especially in comparison to the backdrop. As far as I can tell with these small shots, Daria looks lovely, maybe a little bit photoshopped, but that should be expected in this day and age. Once again, Daria delivers (with zero awkward poses and a very at-ease composure). What more can we ask for? I definitely can not wait to see these in higher quality. If it was Inez and Vinoodh's desire to make the viewer wish for Summer time, then they have succeeded with me!
For some reason I really think Daria resembles Jessica Miller in these, especially the second ad. Maybe it is just her VERY prominant cheekbones.. Either way, all I can say is, "Daria, keep on working it!"
As all Daria fans know, these last few days have been quite a fiasco with all of the new images, as well as some news, of our beloved. Instead of making three separate posts, I just thought I would combine them all here.
First, Daria is featured in a two page Steal of the Month feature in the February issue of Vogue US. She was shot by Norman Jean Roy, which leads me to why I love this image of her. This season Daria has a very impressive list of campaigns under her belt in which three of them are firsts for her; Loewe, Stefanel, and DSquared2. Along with becoming the face of these three campaigns for the first time, she is also being shot by new (for her) photographers. It is nice seeing her being shot by others, beside Inez and Vindoodh, because different photographers are able to bring out another side of their subjects. There is just something about this shot for Vogue that makes me think Daria is being herself and not a character. She is on the docks, a place we all know she probably thinks of as home. I can even see this image of her as a f/w campaign ad. Daria has been in the last three Vogue issues, hopefully this continues! Thank you mchunu for the scan!
Second, there have been more snaps of Daria's pages in the Vogue-A-Porter editorial featured in Vogue Paris February. Instead of posting them here, I am going to post them below where the original story is. I am so pleased that she has many shots in the editorial, every one of them great in their own ways. When scans do finally come out, I will either replace the snaps I have, or just post them in the Editorials page. I will put a little note under Quick News if that is what I do (I don't think I need to make another whole new post for it).
Third, I received my issue of W magazine in the mail today that has Daria's Balmain ad in it. I have not seen it posted anywhere yet, so I took a picture of it on my camera. I did not scan it due to the size of it, but I think you can see it good enough in my snap. When someone scans it, I will make a proper post on it. I am crossing my finger for more Balmain ads, but I doubt that will happen since there is usually only one for the season.
Remember that photoshoot that took place while Daria was in Morocco? Well we finally have the outcome in the form of Vogue Paris February 2010. Just looking at the cover makes me believe it is going to be a great magazine. It is very old Hollywood, but with a twist - the Moroccan desert as the location.
I am reminded of Vogue Paris August 2009 when Daria got the cover along with a lengthy editorial with multiple models. We have this again, but even better... With only snaps available at the time, we already have more than 5 shots of Daria. There are no boring studio shots; the models have the beautiful country of Morocco as the backdrop; well actually only Daria does. In my opinion Daria outshines them all. Inez and Vinoodh seem to put the spotlight on Daria and her shots. Just the fact that she is solo in all of her shots gives this away. Do you agree? After reading more on the editorial and looking at the snaps closer, I am getting the impression that Daria was the only one in Morocco (Duh! We already knew this). At least her's are the only ones to look authentic. I am guessing Inez and Vinoodh just compiled their shots from Morocco with some city and studio shots and made it one big editorial. I am usually satisfied with Vogue Paris and how Daria is always portrayed in this magazine. I mean, Daria is practically synonymous with Vogue Paris. Let's just say, I have a feeling 2010 is definitely going to be a great year for Daria.
The other models in the editorial are: Raquel Zimmermann, Lara Stone, Dree Hemingway, Freja Beha, Naomi Campbell, Isabel Fontana, and Anna de Rijk.
SCANS HAVE BEEN POSTED IN THE EDITORIALS PAGE!
Along with the cover and editorial, this magazine gives us something else...the news that Daria is (once again) the face of Isabel Marant for Spring/Summer! That makes a running total of FOUR ad campaigns for the season. Totally unexpected and totally awesome! Now all we have to wait to hear news on is Balmain (yes I am still crossing my fingers for this). She was chosen to wear Balmain in this last editorial, another reason why she is the perfect face for the brand...

I have been waiting for Stefanel to update its website for the new campaign, constantly going to the site and always seeing Gisele's face. Well, it has finally been updated and now Daria's lovely face (and body) are on display. Along with this update came a Behind the Scenes video and some pictures, exactly what I was hoping for. Nestfraese was kind enough to already post the video on youtube and can be seen below.
I have to say this is another successful campaign for Daria. When I saw the first two released shots, I was a little skeptical, not really liking how Daria's hair was styled. But after seeing all of the campaign as a whole, every shot brings something to the table, so to speak. Seeing how there is another Stefanel campaign featured alongside Daria's with three other models, I guess it is obvious why there was the rumor going around about Daria not actually getting the campaign. Anyway, now we just have to wait for Loewe and DSquared websites to get updated, and hopefully with more goodies!
Photographer Terry Richardson has decided to join the blog scene and is daily updating his site with pics of everything you can imagine, including our very own Daria. Its always nice to see Daria outside eds and ad campaigns. Just wondering though, is this a fairly new picture (besides the fact that it was posted on January 9) and does this mean an editorial will be in sight in the near future?
I usually love Spring/Summer ad campaigns and this is a good example of why. Don't these type of ads just make you want to go outdoors - and to stretch it a little further - go camping? The colors, the scenery, the models...what could go wrong?
I love how all three of Daria's campaigns this season are completely different from each other. All three are set in different environments and focus points (for lack of better terminology); from Stefanel with its Italian background, Loewe with its Spanish background, and now DSquared with its Canadian background (unless this was shot in the States). When it comes to styling, all three campaigns show a different side of Daria as well. Stefanel shows Daria's tomboy side, Loewe shows her looking more sophisticated and mature, and DSquared showcases her sexy and adventurous side. Like I said before, all of this is even better considering Daria has never been chosen as the face for these three brands.
I am very pleased with Daria's work thus far for this new year...lets hope it continues this way! Should we cross our fingers for the Balmain campaign?
I have to say I am really loving all of the shots in this campaign. There is just something about them that is very pleasing to the eye; the colors, the scenery, and of course Daria with her poses that seem to be so at ease. The Spanish theme is really speaking to me as well. Great job to the photographers and creative designer on this one! I am hoping I will see these in print in magazines and not just on the web. They are definitely ads that need to be in any Daria lover's collection.
- As new Loewe ads surface, they will be put under this post, or you can find them under the Ads page -
With Daria being Stuart Vevers', Loewe's creative director, newest model crush, we get a special treat from Vogue.com. This morning the site wrote a little Behind the Scenes story on Loewe's newest Spring/Summer campaign shoot. Beautiful photos were posted as well, showing Daria donning at least three other wardrobe outfits. This leads me to believe there will be at least three other ads coming out of the shoot...lets cross our fingers! I really like this ad campaign based off what I see, with the forest-like background and how the colors she is wearing matches the handbag. I noticed most people hated the styling of the hair, but I have to say it totally fits the overall shot.
Vever's explains, "It was really fun working with Daria. After a long sailing trip in the summer she looked glowing and super hot." What sailing trip is he talking about? And does this mean that they shot this campaign a while ago; towards the end of summer/beginning of Fall? Or was she able to keep this glow for a few months? Hmm...
Once again, Daria is captured by Inez and Vinoodh and once again Daria replaces Gisele who held the Fall/Winter 2009 campaign.
What a surprise I had after visiting Daria's tFS spread this morning! Little did I know Daria was going to be the star in another Spring/Summer campaign: Loewe, a luxury handbag company. This is her 3rd campaign for the season, among Stefanel and DSquared, all brands that she has never been the campaign model for; making this a very exciting season! The first image was posted by tarsha, and I quite like it (not a surprise considering there is rarely any work of hers that I don't like). I think the fact that I wasn't expecting any more campaigns adds to the appeal of the first shot. I feel like the brand made Daria look older than her 26 years, or just mature. Maybe its the styling of the hair.
Now on to Gisele. She is the Number 1 highest paid model who just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. She has racked up many campaigns throughout her modeling career, and lately it seems that Daria is the second choice among many designers; at least when replacing Gisele...Interesting :) Anyway, hopefully there will be more from Loewe.
Here is just a little something during a time with little news; hopefully there will be more soon! I personally love seeing the beauty shots that come from each individual fashion show. These backstage beauty shots plus more can be found under the "Runway" tab, so go check them out if you haven't already. The "Runway" tab is updated rather frequently, especially when HQ pictures are found. If anyone recently has been trying to click on the pictures under the tab and got redirected to a broken link, everything should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
After first hearing about Daria being the new face of Stefanel back in September, I was ecstatic. Well now we finally have the first view of Stefanel's Spring/Summer campaign! I see a slight resemblance to Gisele's previous campaigns, but I am not complaining - they were gorgeous themselves. Hopefully there will be many more to come! And hopefully the website will be updated soon. Unfortunately Stefanel ads are not printed in American magazines, so I will have to rely on the 'international' magazines that I buy.
Patrick Demarchelier captures a different side of Daria, Joan Juliet Buck to be exact, this time in the beautiful state of Utah. When I first saw the pictures, courtesy of Luxx at tFS, I was amazed at how great the shots were. I think that just seeing the different scenery - no studio, just plain outdoors - really adds to the overall effect of 'going west'. It is a little bit different from what we normally see in Vogue US, which allows me to give a sigh of relief. Even though some of the shots may seem like she is pasted in (does anyone else see that?), I do adore the ed. Daria seems very at ease and in her natural element, with no awkward poses or jumping. Come to find out, Daria is acrobatic as well as an artist, a model, etc.. What can she not do??
I love seeing her in the Balmain dress in the concluding picture. As for the horse, its nice seeing horse-back riding being portrayed as something 'innocent' instead of the model laying on top of the horse...naked. I know this would not fly in American Vogue, but you get the picture. Daria looks so natural next to the horse, all she needs to do is just stand next to it to get a great shot.
Daria has another page in this issue in the 'Beauty' section. Vogue chose Lancome's Chris & Tell "megawatt" as a must-have lipstick, which is featured in the picture. This shot was captured by Mert & Marcus, giving me the realization that it is an outtake from her Vogue US December 2009 editorial "Point Break."
Last night IMG models and their agents held their Christmas Party at SPiN New York, 'the city's most outrageous ping-pong club.' According to Fashion Week Daily'sChic Report, "Daria Werbowy and Lily Donaldson and scores of other beauties were feverishly hitting backhands and spinning their serves." The entire ping-pong space was booked for the event, where guests got to enjoy brie, fresh cookies, and Absolut.
I haven't been able to find any pictures yet (if there are any), but I will keep searching. For now, enjoy this picture created by Chic Report.
While doing a random search I found this interesting picture of Daria, posted on November 12th. She is holding her favorite publication of the Frank magazine - Frank Book Chapter 36: Erotica. I don't know much about this, but what I do know is that Frank151 is an urban brand based in New York, which is where I am guessing this photo was taken. They are a "Street" brand and design everything from hats to belts to t-shirts. Frank151 not only spot the trends, they create the trends with the help of their quarterly mini magazine (what Daria is holding). If you check out their website, you can see all of the other celebrities 'Caught With Frank!"
10 Minutes Later: After a little more looking around, this photo was taken at the Stoked on Spring Auction that Daria attended on May 16th, 2009.
P.S. If you haven't heard already, Daria has a second Spring 2010 campaign under her belt, that is if she still has the Stefanel campaign. She will star in DSquared2 ads alongside Arthur Sales and Kyle Ledeboer. The trio will be shot by Mert & Marcus. I definitely can not wait to see how the campaign turns out!
Just thought I would post some pictures from the making of the Pirelli Calendar. This 2008 calendar was published before the start of this blog, so you know what that means...a great idea for a 'Behind the Lens' post! Also, the videos from the making of can be seen in the Videos page, so go check them out if you haven't already.
Note: There is plenty of nudity, but we have seen pretty much all of Daria already...
Some great backstage photos of Daria were posted today on tFS and I couldn't pass up on posting them here. Last October Daria surprised us all with an appearance at the Balmain S/S 2009 show in Paris. Two months later, quite a few more backstage photos have surfaced...its about time! Click here to see the photos that have already been published before now.
I wonder what outfit Daria will choose to wear next from the collection...that is of course if she attends another event.
I usually do not care to post scans of editorials that have been reprinted in a new magazine, but in the case of the German Cosmo Supplement, I felt like I should. Although these pictures come from a Lancome shoot shot late last year, the German branch of Cosmopolitan decided to print a new variation of one of the pictures, the one with the green dress. The supplement also featured a picture from Lancome's most recent photoshoot (both are photographed by Tom Munro). Enjoy the HQ scans...another reason why to post! If you want to see the pictures from this first Lancome photoshoot that have already been published, just visit the "Lancome" page.
“Leopard carpet, cognac, and a piano? I think I found my new favorite bar ever.”
Oh how I wish I was in Morocco four days ago. Not only did Daria attend the La Mamounia Re-Opening Gala, she also went to the Churchill Bar, a "leopard-heavy downstairs lounge." There you could find Daria, along with Matthew Williamson, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and Carine Roitfeld all singing their hearts out. They sung everything from Grease songs to Sarah McLaughlan. Now wouldn't that have been music to my ears.. Even though she couldn't convince Bryan Ferry to sing, she had plenty of other people to sing with.
It sure does sound like a photoshoot for Vogue Paris was possible - Daria (model), Inez and Vinoodh (photographers), and Carine Roitfeld (stylist); I am definitely thinking the rumors were true! Based off the pictures below, she was there for at least two days.
Daria looked like she was having plenty of fun; just look at how creative she was... turning her necklace into an eye-patch. Either there was too much fun...or too much to drink, you decide.
-- 4 of Daria's H&M Denim ads have been added under ads page! Post coming soon.
-- Daria is rated # 9 (out of 20) in Love Magazine's list of Most Stylish People 2009.
-- Daria is ranked the ninth highest paid model, earning $3.8 million in 2009.
PLEASE HELP
If anyone has any Daria editorials/ads/covers that you do not want anymore, let me know. Check out my editorials pages to see if I have them already (there is a * by them if I have them). I am still building up my collection and any help is appreciated :)
If you have a favorite model that you collect, let me know and we can maybe trade!! I have tons of model clippings.
