Carmen Kass is overexposed in Self Service Spring/Summer 2010 issue
Overexposed? That’s certainly the way that the Carmen Kass fan club would love to see the super idolised Estonian top model. Taking that term literally, photographer and editor in chief of Self ServiceEzra Petronio has captured Ms. Kass through an indifferent light in this set of rather provocative photographs for the magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 issue. Styled by the ingenious Suzanne Koller, the star of the editorial is seen dressed in the season’s hottest and rawest utilitarian pieces from Alexander Wang, A.P.C., Chloé, Céline, Balmain, Emilio Pucci to Hermès. Polaroids perfect!
Estonian model Carmen Kass in a stunning summer dress by Lindex
As if luring me with its exotic bright colours and its flamboyant jungle inspiration are not enough, the Swedish fashion chain Lindex presents its Spring/Summer 2010 swimwear, lingerie and party dress collection with Estonian model Carmen Kass. Whether dressed in the brand’s urban and sophisticated dresses, enticing lingerie pieces or playful and colourful swimwear collection, Ms. Kass perfectly brings out the lively positive energy of the heated season in a relaxed yet graceful and extraordinarily refined way. Fusing dreamy with pure divinity, Lindex’s collection is a genuine delight of the spring summer season!
Sarar Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Ad Campaign
For Spring/Summer 2010, Estonian model Carmen Kass teams up with the dandy Brit David Gandy for Sarar’s ad campaign. Amongst a sleek concrete backdrop, the handsome pair shows off the epitome of extreme elegance for the 62 year old Turkish fashion label. Known especially for the swell quality of their menswear, the Spring/Summer 2010 collection prides itself of its sharp tailored cuts that is smart, light and loveable. Along with an equally sophisticated womenswear collection, Sarar’s man and woman certainly is a heavenly match for each other.
As a way to say Happy Easter to you all, we present to you the golden egg in our basket: Robert’s 2003 golden edition of Carmen Kass sashaying down the glamorous runway in skimpy little lingerie at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2003. An oldie but goodie that has been dusted off the radar, we hope that you will enjoy this festive season (and the video, too!) as much as the illcit fun Robert had when editing it.
Estonian model Carmen Kass stars in Lindex Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign
Dreamy clothes in dreamy colours worn by a dreamy heaven body make up for a dreamy ad campaign for Swedish fashion chain Lindex. Under the lens of photographer Jimmy Backius, Estonian model Carmen Kass is the mighty goddess of love in the heavenly set of Lindex Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign. The collection predominantly works with eighties, early nineties and a dose of Bohemian influences in a discreetly clean yet incredibly soft and feminine way. Styled by Marina Kereklidou, Ms. Kass, the heaven-sent modern Venus, radiates a fresh breeze bringing us phenomenally beautiful looks to die for.
Although I don’t feel anything different since the arrival of 2010 – because let’s face it, I had been writing about Fashion for Spring/Summer 2010 since July last year – it is important to set goals so that we start on the right foot on the right track and don’t get lost on the way. For me, my only New Year’s resolution for this year would be to bring blogyul in full swing. It doesn’t sound like much to do, but it’s always easy to say and difficult to do, no? I hope that I could get into the swing of it with pride and joy.
Danish model Mathias Lauridsen fronts Bruuns Bazaar Spring Summer 2010 Ad Campaign
Nothing gives me more pleasure than blogging about three of the things I love the most in the entire world: Mathias Lauridsen Carmen Kass, Bruuns Bazaar and last but not least, Mathias Lauridsen. For Spring/Summer 2010, the Danish label’s allure is once again captured at its most desirable state under the lens of the Danish photographer Henrik Bülow. Amidst a poetic setting by the beach, life in Bruuns Bazaar’s world is beautiful and love is bliss! We love how simple and simply chic the different pieces of the collection are. Assembled together, the whole collection reflects a distinctively laid back attitude; yet it retains a style of its own. I love the infusion of leatherwear into the collection. It gives off a strong persona that is a little bit on the wild side, yet, also soft and feminine through its finishing touches. This is the life!
Estonian model Carmen Kass stares in Mogg’s Fall Winter 2009 Ad campaign
The extraordinary Estonian modelCarmen Kass stares in the fabulous Fall/Winter 2009/10ad campaign for Korean fashion label Mogg and we just love everything about it – from the presentation of the ad campaign to the actual clothes! There is this distinctive sense of architectural structuralism built into the construction of the clothes to create this super sleek silhouette for an incredibly sophisticated and sexy look. “I love being a real woman and dressing for the part,” says Ms. Kass. “It’s about style, not fashion.” Two pieces that you must not miss are the cape coat and the luxurious fur coat. Smart and chic, no?
This is a true story and it happened a few days ago, while I was on the train. I don’t know if you are one of those people, but every time you get a seat on the train/subway, do you start thinking everything is going to be fine? Well… I am one of those people, but now I know I was wrong. It happened when I had sat comfortably and at peace on my seat for like at least a good 20 minutes. Deep asleep, I was completely off guard, but then, all of a sudden, we arrived at a stop; and this chatterboxhousewife lady, who was standing perpendicularly next to me, suddenly remembered that this is her stop, so she quickly said goodbye to her friend and bent down to pick up her grocery bags. However, as she did so, her fat nice and rounded bum was right in my face. Ohhh… Thank god, she is not wearing this season’s ultra-mini-dresses! Otherwise, I don’t know what I should wash my eyes with to restore my vision ever again.
Thank you for the increased Sheila appearances, as requested last year. I am happy to see Alessandra is back as well. After the spectacular TV show in December, I set out to choose my favorite model for 2009. Several contenders, including Behati, Flavia, Inguna, and Shannan, nearly deposed Stam from this great honor. Carmen’s walk and catalog photos also made the year feel complete. Ultimately, Sheila Márquez is my favorite for now.
Yulya wanted to add her very sophisticated thoughts, but I think she is a bit jealous star-struck when it comes to the topic of gorgeous Victoria’s Secret personnel! She is grateful to see my top model choice return to the European continent, and approves highly of Sheila’s latest photo sample.
