Daria Werbowy Gallery
A blog dedicated to the very talented Daria Werbowy.Its not too often that we see Daria in Lancome ads these days, especially since they keep adding new spokesmodels/persons it seems. Lo and behold, there is a new Hypnose mascara for Spring 2012, and thankfully Daria has been the go-to girl for all of the Hypnose ads.
Hypnose Star is the new mascara among the bunch and I am digging the new ad. Gotta love sparkles! Could Daria's eyes be any more beautiful (I hope they didn't photoshop them too much!)? There's not so much of a "Spring" vibe though, more like a wintery/Christmas vibe. Oh well, it is always great to see Daria in the Lancome ads rather than the others!

Are things starting to look up in the world of Daria? It sure looks like it! Daria is not only on the cover of Vogue Australia June, she also has an editorial inside...and I would even venture out and say that this spread includes some of the most beautiful images I have seen of Daria in a long time. Stunning.
I am always a sucker for a studio shoot and this one is no different. There is a making-of video for the shoot that can be found here, and it makes me very excited to see what the final cover will look like. There were so many different shots shown in the video that make fantastic covers; I wonder if the first image above is what they chose? Either way, this is such exciting news and a great addition to Daria's model portfolio. Do I have any Australian readers out there...I may need some help!

Daria fans, we can finally speak of a new cover, editorial, and interview! Seems like its been a long time coming, doesn't it? What makes this even better is that Daria has never been featured on and in Glow and I don't know if she has ever been photographed by Mark Abraham. We can always count on these Canadian magazines, can't we?
Anyway, it is a bit early for scans, although we have smaller images of what is inside. Although, Glow did make a "making-of" video that shows all of the pages of the May/June issue that shows Daria has 4 pages inside. I like how it is a simple studio shoot, I have been kind of missing these. This kind of brings me back to the 2004-2005 days.
Glow did add some of Daria's favorite things to their website, including her favorite music, books, and skincare (Lancome - surprise!). Click here for the answers and click here for the video that shows the layout. There is a making-of video of her editorial (yay!), so I will be making a separate post on that.
The interview can be found below. A few things that we can glean from this rather good interview: Daria is going sailing June, July, and August; is she now single?; and did she get her nose pierced? I don't like hearing her thinking about doing something other than modeling, and now we know she will most likely not go into the fashion design direction, but it will be interesting to see what she decides to do next.
I always hate asking this, but I am definitely going to need help getting this in my collection! Please let me know if any Daria fans are able to get this! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get Tatler Russia, and I know with it being a March issue it may be hard to find now, but please keep your eyes open for that one too!
While browsing the internet, I came across a rather different looking Prada 3.0 by LG phone advertisement from what my memory served of the actual released image; an 'unphotoshopped' ad if you will. Can you spot the differences? I find this very interesting, hopefully you do too!

Yet again, Maiyet has added more images to their Spring/Summer campaign. And yet again, they keep getting better. Gotta love anything Daria and Cass produce. I wonder how much more we will get?

How has everyone been? Feels like its been awhile since I have made a post! Hopefully Daria will have more editorials soon, but if not, hopefully she is having a good break.
On the news front, it looks like Daria can be found in Kate Winslet's new book The Golden Hat: Talking Back to Autism. Kate has started the Golden Hat Foundation to help people with autism as well as bring awareness. She has shared this story to many [famous] people that she knows and has asked them, "What is important to you to express?" The responses include self portraits and quotes. Daria's photo can be found below.
This was obviously taken at the Todo a Nada Photography Exhibition opening in Spain back in September 2010. Wow, I can not believe this was that long ago; time flies way too fast! Anyway, I am not surprised she is featured in the book. They are both spokesmodels/persons for Lancome and they seemed like very good friends at the Exhibition. I would love to know how Daria answered the "What is important to you to express?" question.

We have three more commercials to add to Daria's commercial repertoire. They are quite different from the previous H&M commercials, and what do you know? Daria is dancing! I wonder if a dancing Daria will be the trend of 2012? I do love how the three videos start, with the beautiful head shot. It would be cool to have seen the outdoor shots in the video. But any collaboration with H&M and Daria is a success in my book. And at least this campaign was actually uploaded to H&M's site unlike the others from this year!
Once again Lancome has released a second image for a makeup line that has already come out months later. Maybe this is something Lancome will continue to do from now on. From a business' point of view it all makes sense; re-releasing advertisement for a product some time later with a new image may increase sales. I'm definitely not complaining...I say the more pictures of Daria, the better.
Compared to the first image for Lancome's Liner Design (released back in December of last year), I think this one is much better. This time around, each model has a more equal proportion of the overall image. The first time around, Daria was stuck in the corner with Arlenis getting the majority of the photo. Something just looked off. Not this time around! For a makeup ad, I am loving that this doesn't look overly photoshopped.
Which one do you prefer?

The fourth installment of Inez and Vinoodh's videos is now out and how do I feel after viewing it? A little scared. Because this video features all of the studio shots, it is quite different from the previous videos. Isn't it crazy how different she can look? just in comparison to the last video where I thought she was as gorgeous as can be, this video on the other hand, Daria looks...well, a little freaky. Especially once the special effects start, frankly I don't know what to say. On the plus side, there are some pretty cool parts in this video. Watch it for yourself and let me know what you think!
Maiyet has added three more images to its Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign and like the last addition, I think these are some of the best. There's not much else to say other than that these photos show just how gorgeous Daria is and how easy she is to get along with. She looks amazing in the clothes and jewelry, I can see how she could realy sell clothes. Cass Bird is able to capture the Daria that we all love.

The third Inez & Vinoodh Vogue Paris video is out, the one featuring most of the "cowboy" themed photos. Considering these were my favorite images out of the bunch, this has been the video that I have been looking forward too. I have to say, Daria looks the most beautiful in this installment. Like the second video, this one is definitely more low-key in comparison to the first.
Overall, this is my favorite video so far, but the only thing I do not like with this video is that it only focuses on a few of the looks with the cowboy theme. I feel like this is more of a making-of video; we don't get any of the extra awkward dancing, which is kind of nice!
Not only did we get a video, but now there are more campaign images for Maiyet's Spring/Summer advertisement campaign. Very good ones to boot! They have a catalog-ish/poloroid type feel, which I really like. I don't get a campaign vibe at all. Its more personal and a great way for Maiyet to get their name out there. You definitely can never go wrong with Daria though!

Another day, another video. This video has to be one of the best I have seen in quite while though. Compared to the awkward Vogue Paris videos we have gotten this past week, this newly released video for Maiyet's Spring/Summer 2012 campaign is just beautiful. Every collaboration between Daria and Cass Bird has been amazing, and this video is just the icing on the cake.
The images for this campaign came out rather early for the S/S season, all the way back in September of last year! Because of that, it may seem that this video is very late, but it really isn't in relation to the normal timing for news of campaigns. Let's hope for more Daria and Cass collaborations...they can do no wrong.
We are almost in March and we already have three H&M campaigns for Daria. Maybe 2012 will see the return of Daria as the H&M girl...I hope! In 2010 we got 6 H&M campaigns, lets see if we can beat that number. I loved her part in the Fresh Start campaign, although her photos were never uploaded online, which really was a bummer. But now we have another campaign to look forward too, and who knows, maybe this will be a solo campaign.
Considering H&M has so many campaigns a year, we will have to wait for more details on whether this is another Spring campaign, or something else. The previews look very springy, and I like the mix of studio shots with location shots. It is a very nice sight to see they are being published in magazines, at least in Hong Kong!

The second Inez & Vinoodh video for Vogue Paris February is out! I am not quite sure what I think about this one yet. It is definitely more low-key than the first one, focuses on the Elvis aspect of the photo shoot, and kind of gives me a 1950's vibe (which is probably helped by the song choice, and the whole Elvis thing). If you have always been dreaming of seeing Daria slow dancing with Elvis, then you will like this video. Wow, I never thought I would ever have to say that!
Let me know what you think of this installment. Like the first one more or this one more? After the extreme differences between the first two videos, I definitely can not wait to see the others.
I don't know what I would do without my readers and other Daria fans. This time around I have to thank Maria for sending me the scans of Daria's Tatler Russia editorial! I would have to say this editorial is definitely a breath of fresh air. Look how gorgeous Daria is. This is exactly the type of editorial that I like seeing Daria do, probably because these seem more personal in a way, and not just about the fashion. Of course having an article helps, but overall, this is a very welcome sight. You can't go wrong with 10 pages, either.
Daria is shot by Maciek Kobielski, someone knew to her repertoire. Although I do love Inez & Vinoodh, it is nice to see how other photographers work with Daria. In my humble opinion, I love the way Maciek captured Daria. I get a sort of "tabloid" type vibe from this, if that makes sense? Also, whenever we get editorials that look similar to this, Lancome always seems to be involved, and in this case, I have a feeling it is. Unfortunately, I do not know a word of Russian, so I do not know all of the details (but I do see Lancome in the credits). On that note, is there anyone out there who is willing to take the time to translate? It would be greatly appreciated! I know everyone is very interested in knowing what she has to say.

It is finally here, the Vogue Paris "Girls on Film" video featuring Daria from their February issue editorial! And with this video, we get news from Inez & Vinoodh that there will be a total of 5 videos! More to look forward too, which I always love. At the moment, the video can be found on Vogue Paris' website.
This video isn't everything that I expected. I've seen the original Inez & Vinoodh "Girls on Film" video with Anja, Natasha, and Isabeli, so I had a hunch of what the Daria version would be like. I didn't expect all of the dancing though! Don't get me wrong, it is nice to see Daria move around, but it is definitely different. I was expecting more of her just posing for the camera, but nope, we get much more.
I am definitely interested in seeing the next 4 videos. Will they be any different or just more of Daria dancing around Las Vegas? I noticed this video only featured the looks with that specific hairstyle, so I think we can expect one with maybe just her and the cowboy, another with her and elvis, and another with the long straight hair. I don't know, we will have to wait and see.
Guess who can be found on the cover of Tatler Russia March! At this point, only the image of the cover is available; the photographer and any previews of an editorial are unknown. An editorial, or at least an article, is to be expected considering her name is on the cover (yay!). Plus, the contents on the site mention "her ambitions beyond the catwalk." Hopefully within the next few days we will know more, but its nice to have something to look forward too, especially in this time of little news.
Daria has never been on the cover of Tatler Russia, which makes this even more exciting. She has had an editorial inside the magazine though, back in 2008 for Lancome shot by Tom Munro. With this particular cover, I am getting a Lancome vibe and I wouldn't be surprised if this shoot is for Lancome. I am definitely liking the cover image. Its not the prettiest image, but it is sexy which is a little different from what we have been seeing lately, in my opinion. Daria is wearing Dolce & Gabbana, in case anyone was wondering.

I would have to say this season's behind the scenes shots are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Stefanel took its time in updating their website, but I think with these images, the wait was definitely worth it! There still aren't as many images as previous seasons, but that is ok. At this time in Daria's career, I think we are lucky to get anything! I am just going to let the images speak for themselves.
I hope everyone doesn't feel like they are being bombarded with Daria news, but I guess if you are a Daria fan, the more the better! Prada released a making-of video for their new phone, which I think everyone by now knows how much I love these videos. Unfortunately it does not mention the photographer, but David Sim's name is being tossed around.
After watching the video, I kind of wished they mixed up some of the final images and put one of the shots with her hair down. I like the classy feel the campaign has, but the other images would have made it more personable. I don't know if anyone else caught it, but when her hair was down, it looked very similar to the pics from her Marie Claire December 2010 editorial. Anyway, enjoy the video!
Finally all of the images have been released for the Spring/Summer campaign of Stefanel. This time around, we got everything in a different order. Stefanel first released the behind the scenes video (all the way back in December 2011), and then came the images. Compared to last season which had only 6 images, this season has 14 (yay!). Now we are just waiting for the making-of images; I definitely hope there will be some. Like usual, these were photographed by Mario Testino and styled by Geraldine Saglio.
It has been said that Stefanel's Spring/Summer campaigns are very similar to each other, and really, that can not be denied. But when the images are so beautiful, who really cares? There is always something with Stefanel that makes Daria look her best, in my opinion. I guess it helps that I would wear everything in their S/S collections. I always think its a little funny when campaigns have close-ups of the models, because frankly, they aren't selling anything. They are more showcasing the model, which is great for the model's fans. But in this case, these close-ups are so gorgeous and add that little pizazz to the whole campaign.
We didn't have to wait too long for more and better quality images of Daria's newest Spring/Summer campaign; less than 24 hours in fact. It looks like there are three images in total (as of now), all very classic and beautiful. Very fitting for Prada. Personally, I love seeing Daria like this. She fits the character so well. Does this even look like it would be a phone ad? Maybe why that is why I like it so much. Even though this is not Prada's clothing line, it is nice to see her somehow associated with the Prada name again. It has been way too long!
Edward Norton and Daria were photographed together in London for this in December 2011. That is a pretty fast turnaround! I am still not sure on the photographer, but am not getting my hopes up with it being Steven Meisel. If it is Meisel's lens, then this is a big deal.

Surprisingly, Daria can be found in the Prada LG 3.0 phone advertisements. This is of course great news, but like I said, surprising. Considering we have heard Daria picks and chooses her work, this just doesn't seem like one that I could see her in. On the other hand, Sasha Pivovarova and Linda Evangelista have both been in the Prada phone campaigns, so I guess this isn't too out of the norm. Nonetheless, we have another campaign to add to her Spring/Summer 2012 list!
At the moment, there is only a low quality picture and a bit of information. Thanks to fonghay from tFS, we have this news, but we also know that actor Edward Norton is in the campaign as well and it was shot in December 2011. Since it is only February 2012, I am not surprised that we haven't heard or seen of this sooner. Hopefully better quality image(s!) will be available soon.
**** EDIT: Fonghay found the original ad in the newspaper and kindly snapped a pic that can be found here. Looks like there are two images in this campaign! Exciting!

Daria has scored another H&M campaign. I am not sure how many photos there will be or if it can even be considered a campaign, but for the sake of making everything easier, that is what I will call it. Daria is now the face of H&M's Get Sporty. Considering how sporty she is in her own life, H&M chose a rather good model to don the clothes. The photos are not on the website yet, but neither are the other ones we have seen for what we thought would be the Spring 2012 collection, so maybe in a few days, they will be added. Unfortunately, the image above is rather small. I found it through H&M mobile (on my iphone) and can not make it any bigger.
I really do like these images. They are different from what we usually see. Its nice seeing her laid back in normal people clothes, if you will. In fact, I have that sports bra. I don't know how many people are trying to lose weight for the new year, but for those who are, these may be good inspiration to get you in the mood to go to the gym!
