Hollander Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Quote: Now Curating | Supe du Jour Lara Stone By Ana Finel Honigman In selecting the Dutch supermodel Lara Stone to succeed the American transexual club goddess Amanda Lepore as its guest curator, the site notjustalabel pits nature against science. Every month, the leading online showroom for emerging designers invites a key tastemaker to comb through the hordes of designers who display their wares on the site and select a lucky few to be showcased for its Shop section. (Previous guest curators have included Diane Pernet, the French fashion maven, and Robin Schulié, the buyer for Maria Luisa.) For her part, Stone has cherry-picked a stunning selection, which includes Aoi Kotsuhiroi’s rough cut quartz rings and a Gareth Pugh-like futuristic jacket by the London designer Samantha Cole. But my first response on hearing that a great beauty would follow in the footsteps of such a surgicalized creature was to wonder who has the better advice? Should we listen more attentively to someone born beautiful or to someone who has painstakingly sculptured beauty onto themselves? On one side of this divide is Lepore, a global icon modeled after Marilyn Monroe, whose tireless surgical quest has made her “the world´s No. 1 transexual” by her own description. On the other side is Stone, whose pouty blond beauty recalls Brigitte Bardot’s natural earthiness in “And God Created Woman.” Comparisons to Bardot swirl around a lot of sexy blondes, but few of them approach Stone’s uncanny reincarnation of the original sex kitten. Even her aspirations for life after modeling are reminiscent of Bardot. “I want to retire and get a dog,” she told me when we discussed her selection for NJL. Stone’s sultry looks, however, have a feral bite that Bardot was rarely allowed to express in pictures and that make her a captivating force in images and on the catwalk. In contrast to Lepore, who poses very carefully in surreal fantasy constructions by David LaChapelle and other high-concept artists, Stone’s allure springs from her disarming lack of polish. In ads for Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Emanuel Ungaro (?????) and H&M, she projects an intimidating nonchalance and captivating aura of chaos. Her friend Stefan Siegel, the man behind the initiative, admires her effortless style and chose her because, he said, “I believe her style, attitude and character fit much better to NJAL and its emerging designer than to a boring D-Squared or Calvin Klein. She embodies the black sheep!” Stone’s designer selections are appropriately gritty and unconventional, with a strong emphasis on rough stones, leather and other natural materials. Her mostly black and orange picks are an homage to her native Holland. But all her choices share comfort, despite the garments´ often unexpected aesthetics and tailoring. Whereas Lepore told me, “my dresses are very tight and mostly all made for me — couture baby,” Stone “wants comfortable clothes to wear between jobs, mostly black and lots of hoodies.” However, she does share one thing with her predecessor: a fascination with the other side of fashion. “I love men’s wear,” she declares. In the final analysis, few of us may possess either Lepore’s determination to make herself beautiful or Stone’s natural charms. Rather, we should probably heed Stone’s assertion that anyone aspiring to style need always remember that “individuality is a necessity.” At this point, a cliché. But all too true. -themoment.blogs.nytimes.com www.notjustalabel.com & childkid /fashionlogie Quote
Hollander Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Lara Stone: At last! A role model for real women By Liz Hoggard Last updated at 8:00 PM on 29th August 2009 The fashion world can’t get enough of Lara Stone, thanks to her Bardot-esque look. Indeed, the buzz around the model’s sexy curves suggests that there’s finally a backlash against the size zero silhouette. Liz Hoggard hopes so It’s easy to be mesmerised by Lara Stone, the new face of Jaeger. Hailed by British and US Vogue and W magazine as the model du jour, Lara is a breath of fresh air. With her gappy teeth, bee-stung lips and frankly va-va voom figure, Dutch-born Lara is a world away from the boyish, prepubescent skinnies who have dominated our catwalks for the past few years. At July’s Couture Fashion Week in Paris, she closed the Chanel show and opened Jean Paul Gaultier. Lara is a chameleon: she can play urchin and she can play duchess. According to photographer Bruce Weber, ‘she’s big, bad and beautiful’. Certainly there is nothing fey or girlish about ‘the girl with the X-rated lips’: 5ft 10in and sexy on her own terms, she stomps along the catwalk with a permanent scowl. You’re not sure if she would kiss or slap you. But designers and photographers are so taken with her body that she appears naked in magazines as often as clothed. And, most importantly, she is a US size 4 (healthy UK 8). Now that might sound super-skinny to us mere mortals, but in fashion terms, it’s near-revolutionary. Most models average between a size 0 and a size 2 (UK 4-6). There have been ‘curvy’ models before (Gisele, Doutzen Kroes), but after years of jutting hip bones, Lara is perhaps the most realistic-looking model since the size zero debate shook the foundations of fashion two years ago...and hallelujah, we all say! Lara jokes that, at 25, she is already ancient in modelling terms. Born to a Dutch mother and British father, she grew up in the small town of Mierlo in the southern Netherlands. Signed to the Elite modelling agency aged 15, she did catalogue work but wasn’t offered any catwalk. She considered quitting but, at the suggestion of an old boyfriend, changed agents, and her new company, IMG, sent her out as a ‘fresh face’. Although, as Lara says, ‘everybody in Paris knew me, because I’d been there for so long’. Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy, was casting his 2006 couture show when he bumped into Lara in the corridor. ‘I looked at her agent and said, “I want Lara exclusively.” I fell in love.’ Tisci then called Carine Roitfeld, the famously uncompromising editor of Vogue Paris and an accomplished stylist in her own right, and said, ‘Oh my God, you have to meet this girl.’ Lara opened for the Givenchy couture show, and soon Roitfeld was featuring her in Vogue Paris – an ‘overnight’ success. Since then she’s modelled for everyone from Chanel to Giles Deacon and Stella McCartney. We’re no longer prepared to put up with excessively skinny 16-year-old models. Good health is now the most important thing And last February Roitfeld devoted the entire issue to her – shot by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde, Nan Goldin and Steven Klein. The magazine cover took its inspiration from the classic Brigitte Bardot film of 1956 And God Created Woman. ‘Sometimes a girl just touches you,’ Roitfeld has said. Belinda Earl, Jaeger’s group chief executive, also picks up on that cinematic aspect of Lara’s style. ‘We wanted the images for our autumn collection to be reminiscent of 1960s film stills. Lara is a strong, sexy woman. She exudes personality – she is a real woman with curves, and proud of it. She looks fabulous in our collections and we know our customers respond well to an inclusive body shape.’ Lara’s not always as comfortable with her body as her admirers are. She told W magazine recently, ‘A lot of people say it’s nice to see someone who won’t break in half when you touch them. But I am still a woman and a person, and if you’re compared and confronted with your colleagues, and they’re all half your size, you think, “F***, I’m really fat!”’ So we must be careful, amid all the excitement, to treasure Lara – not pressure her. When Sophie Dahl hit the catwalk in 1997, the furore about her curves made her diet madly: it can be too much for one young girl to carry a whole debate like that. But Eleni Renton, of Leni’s Model Management, hopes that Lara reflects ‘the dawn of a new wave of models who convey a healthier, sexy body image. I think it is great that marketing departments of main fashion brands are recognising the desires of their customers. A recent survey showed that most women desire a body like Lara’s, with a waist and bust.’ So far, designers are embracing her shape without pressuring her to slim. And although her agency calls Lara the ‘exception’, fashion insiders suspect that a shift towards accepting more natural-looking figures will eventually follow. Partly it’s the recession. In the same way that we’re no longer turned on by excessive consumption, we’re not prepared to put up with excessively skinny 16-year-old models. Starvation chic feels very uncomfortable. We’re finally appreciating that our good health – glowing skin, glossy hair – is now the most important thing. And fashion seems to be feeling this too, along with other attributes that make women truly beautiful, such as confidence and sex appeal. The shapely early 1960s silhouette exemplified by the women in the Mad Men TV series is everywhere. Daisy Lowe – face of Agent Provocateur and our model on this week’s fashion pages – offers a new aesthetic of womanliness with her shapely figure. ‘Lara reflects the dawn of a new wave of models who convey a healthier, sexier body image’ And in the first issue (February this year) of her fashion glossy Love – which featured Gossip singer Beth Ditto in naked, plus-size glory on the cover – uber-stylist Katie Grand declared herself tired of ‘the tedious stereotypes of what it is to be a wonderful 21st-century woman’. So people are asking, is Lara Stone the girl who is finally going to make the modelling world a healthier place? She has marvellous breasts – and she gets to model in Vogue. YOU magazine’s fashion director Caroline Baker is optimistic: ‘The fashion world has been searching for a way to shift the body image of models without being naff, and a beauty like Lara, who is so Bardot-like, is the one to do it. That’s how the pendulum swings in fashion. And of course at the moment many of the new collections have a fitted silhouette that looks best on a curvier shape.’ Designers such as Antonio Berardi and Roland Mouret have been vocal about the problems they’ve had finding models who adequately fill their clothes. ‘We have to spend days altering things,’ Berardi says. ‘We add padding to exaggerate their bodies into a more female form.’ And don’t underestimate the influence of the original supers (Naomi, Cindy, Linda, et al) who, now in their 40s, are all appearing in current ad campaigns. As Elle Macpherson reminds us: ‘In my era – and I believe it is still true in this era – the girls that were incredibly successful were healthy.’ And their success has proved their true longevity. You can’t help wondering whether the gaunt waifs of recent years will look as good when they too reach 45. Now is clearly the time for a new ‘it’ body that symbolises the changing times. ‘I want to celebrate Lara,’ raves Stella McCartney. ‘Put her in the tightest dress and get her down there! She’s about as sexy as it gets.’ And hopefully, a couple of years down the line, we won’t need to debate the size issue any more, because every model will be more like Lara anyway. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/...#ixzz0PcHOZGWw/childkid Quote
