Remember the fuss people made about 'Sin City' a few years ago? Now, the film's signature graphic design has provided inspiration for a Paris model agency's show package for Spring '10. WM wanted its girls to stand out, and what better way than with black-and-white shots and bold accents?
Then, Women Paris - which includes Aline Weber and Iris Strubegger among its ranks - opted for high-contrast shots and pops of yellow. As Fashionologie points out, agencies are going a little comic-book this season, no?
What can you buy for 50 Euros? A large Coca-Cola in Paris. A Cheap Monday jumpsuit in Stockholm. A pair of sandals at the Prada outlet in Milan. “Seven minutes in Heaven” in Amsterdam. Or if you’re Christian Lacroix, exactly one top model to walk in your maybe-probably last collection.
The Imaginary Socialite analyses Lacroix's couture-model fee for the likes of Vlada Roslyakova and Hanne Gaby Odiele
Style.com seems to think so, and now they're taking credit for it with this doozy: "Karen Elson has always been fashion's favorite redhead, but we like to think we had a little something to do with reigniting the current craze from crimson when we enlisted New York colorist Louis Licari to turn runway star Coco Rocha a fiery shade of copper for our January issue."
Oh, really? The site sites Audrey Marnay and Vlada Roslyakova's red 'dos as proof (and we know that in fashion, three times and it's a trend), but I don't know if I'm buying it. Unless Grace Coddington was somehow in on this.
