Freja Beha Erichsen, Raquel Zimmermann and Magdalena Frackowiak in Chloé Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
Perhaps it’s the golden rays she sends out each season at Chloé, I’m actually warming up to Hannah MacGibbon – Creative Director of the French Luxury Fashion House. Well… It’s not the most avant-garde show I have ever seen, but nonetheless, it’s delightful and it’s desirable! With this winning combination, I am confident that Chloé’s financial matters will be enjoying quite a pleasant ride in the forthcoming fall.

Constance Jablonski, Natasha Poly and Jacquelyn Jablonski in Céline
Yes, I do miss Ivana, but… well… one must move on. Seeing the first look from the new collection at the French house of Céline is surely a pleasant surprise. What? It’s leather for spring/summer! So tough, yet so absolutely chic! These contrasting elements certainly create the chemical sparks for a blasting introduction to the second super charming collection by British designer Phoebe Philo for Céline.

Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik and Freja Beha Erichsen in Gucci
I had been thinking about Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2010 show for a week now. Surely, a show, with such a different approach, style and look as what creative designer Frida Giannini had been doing for her previously collections at the fabulous Italian fashion house, really needs some digesting. After further consideration, I came to the final conclusion that I like it. It’s fresh! It’s sleek! It’s sexy! Still super Gucci! Still super Frida! Still super Great!

Lindsey Wixson, Freja Beha Erichsen and Jacquelyn Jablonski in Prada
Nothing beats Prada! Even though a ton of people said they hated the messy ponytail hair-do, I just cannot find myself concurring with the general public, because I know I will fall victim to the devil. Well… After all, it is Prada!

Natasha Poly, Magdalena Frackowiak and Anna Selezneva in Alexander Wang
Honestly, when Alexander Wang, the 25-year-old designer, first became officially established, I never really felt that he was up for the title. Due to his youthful appearance, I always felt that he might not be a serious designer; but I was so wrong. He is just truly talented. What a visionary? The real turning point for me was when I watched one of his interviews at saksfifthavenue.com, which really demonstrated his true passion for the clothes he creates and that really made me believe in him. I appreciate his work even more now that I know more about his aesthetics and I fully understand why Freja is all “Ja! Ja!” for his clothes.

Lily Donaldson is the Face of Joop!
I know Lily’s fans are just going to hate me, but I have to say it: I hate it! I hate it! I just hate it! This season’s faces (Lily Donaldson and Sean O’pry) with all their respective mega status and perfect looks just turn me off. There is nothing I hate more than looking at over-the-top beautiful people. Thank god, they only have 4 images in the lookbook – all of the rest are glorious runway images. Juhu!

![Power Poly works it [1]!](http://blogyul.miqrogroove.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/natashapolysoleildeminuitvogueparismarch2007inezvinoodh.jpg "natashapolysoleildeminuitvogueparismarch2007inezvinoodh")
Power Poly works it! For more see endnote 1.
You know you are an ‘it’ girl when you have the power to jump from one dream to another.
Guess what?
Ms. Rusya, who is just sleeping a few beds away from me, also dreamt of Ms. Poly yesterday night.
She told me she was walking down the plain suburbian streets of Tokyo in the dream and suddenly… Voila! There came the stunning Russian model Natasha Poly glimmering oddly out of an Asian crowd the ordinary.
Ms. Rusya quickly extended her hand to greet the 23 year old.
Ms. Poly, who meets probably a million people in a day, was at first uncertain as to who the short chubby girl was; but after two split seconds, the intelligent Russian model quickly figured out she was just another fan.
“Hi, Nataaaaasha, how are you?”, shrieked the naive first year university students hyper-enthusiastically. “What are you doing HERE?”
“I am on my way to meet my boyfriend.” Ms. Poly explained with poise and elegance. “The last few times I called, he did not respond, so I am just here to give him a surprise.”
“Oh… Yeah… They are so annoying. Are you still with that 45-year-old man? [2]” asked the 19 year old daringly.
“No. No. No. I’ve moved on.”
An extended awkward silence…
The pair started walking together and arrived in Belgium at a site with a waffle truck [3] parked by the side of the road. At the back of the truck, there is a banal-looking but immensely-masculine man of great built. He stopped his task of loading the truck up at the immediate sight of the long-legged model. Passionately, he greeted her, “Hi, Lily!” [4]
“No, it’s NATASHA!”
“Yeah, you are right,” said Mr. Boyfriend half-heartedly, then, quickly, turned his attention to Ms. Rusya to avoid further embarrassment. While the curious bitch protagonist of this dream wondered why on earth the hot Russian babe is going out with this not-so-Mathias-looking and not-so-rich guy, it was like he could read her mind as he explained that he is experimenting with different occupations and different paths in life whilst he is still young.
Ms. Rusya woke up.
What a silly dream?
Endnotes:

[3] Ms. Rusya is a BIG fan of waffles.
[4] This is obviously a mix up with the Gucci ads.

Wednesday April 15th, 2009
I hope everyone here had a great Easter. It has been a while since I last blogged. I have so many half-finished entries, which I could almost fill a shipping carton with. Insane, no?
This morning, I woke up at around mid-day. Frankly, this is a common occurrence these days, but what was not so usual this time around is that I actually have a concrete reason to blame on justify for other than the usual excuse of “Oooooo… I am soooooo tired!”.
Voila!
It was all because of Riccardo Tisci – the ingenious creative director behind the Parisian label “Givenchy” a.k.a. man of my dreams.
Riccardo Tisci - Power Man of my Dreams
I dreamt that I was front row at Mr. Tisci’s latest Prêt-à-Porter show for Givenchy and ohhh… you would not believe how intense his runway presentations are, with particular reference to the progression of the show and the complexity and creativity behind its conceptualisation as well as its precision in execution. What an experience? I breathed every minute of it.
Natasha Poly – Woman of my dreams?
Ethereal Beauty - Russian model Natasha Poly
What was for me the climax of the presentation is the finalé of the show, which consisted of the projection of the Russian model Natasha Poly’s image onto the ceiling of the showroom [1]. As Ms. Poly’s arms and body move in unison, like a slithering snake, against the background of the blue sky complete with white fluffy clouds, the audience could not help but all gasped in unison as an utter sign of admiration for such a display of absolute ethereal beauty.
Honestly, I have never thought or even dreamt of dreaming of Ms. Poly – simply because we have a long-standing unresolved love-hate relationship [2]. I always thought it is all because of our small age difference. That means I can worship models, whom have a relative age gap with me, i.e. everything positive is satisfactory, while negative difference must be of a magnitude of at least 5 months.
As a result, with Ms. Poly (b. 1985) being circa two months younger than me and already one 30-cm ruler taller, more beautiful and more successful than me in life; jealousy and aggression counteract like a natural phenomena, whenever I see the striking Russian model, but… but… but honestly how could anyone ever hate someone who is so gorgeous?
Exceptional exemption: Anja Rubik
Polish model Anja Rubik working it
Interestingly enough, this theory somehow does not seem to apply for all models with the notable exception of the polish model Anja Rubik (b. 1985). Anja is only one month younger than me and also on a similar level of success as Ms. Poly in the industry; by hook or by crook I am ok with it. Perhaps I know I will never be Polish…
Anyhow, is this one of those moments of “you know you are in love when all you dream about is that person”?
Perhaps it is time to submit to a world of Poly.
Endnote:
[1] Alexander McQueen once ended his défilé similarly with an ethereal hologram of muse Kate Moss.
[2] While my adoration for Natasha seems to be unclear and uncertain at times, I am total in love with her brothers.
