SUPERMODEL ROLL CALL FOR PIRELLI 2014

This year, the Pirelli calendar turns 50, marking half a century of iconic nude photography and the cleverest marketing device for a tyre manufacturer ever. To celebrate the occasion, Pirelli have commissioned Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh to capture Miranda Kerr, Helena Christensen, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Alek Wek and Isabeli Fontana. Let’s not get too excited here – they’ve still got some clothes on, but it’s a delicious taster of what the 2014 calendar has in store. [Vogue]

DAVID GANDY, ICE CREAM ENTREPRENEUR

First it was Henry Holland’s ice cream van boutique – now David Gandy’s gone one better and actually invested in an ice cream firm. Wheyhey Ice Cream is low in fat, sugar free, and rich in protein – it actually claims to be a good post-workout treat. We somehow can’t exactly imagine Gandy chowing down on a few tubs after his gym routine, but whatever – any excuse to eat ice cream is fine by us. [HuffPo]

ANGELA MERKEL, YOUR TROUSERS ARE ALL WRONG

Sometimes we forget that Karl Lagerfeld is German and not a fashion alien sent to terrorise mortals with devastating fashion jibes. Fortunately, Lagerfeld hasn’t lost any of his patriotic spirit, and has offered some sage fashion wisdom to Chancellor Angela Merkel. “Madame Merkel should have her clothes made to measure,” he sniffs. We’re fairly Merkel has bigger things on her mind than the cut of her pantsuit. [Telegraph]

MADEMOISELLE C, C’EST CHIC

Another year, another fashion doc – this time about ex-Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld. Produced by the company behind The September Issue, it follows Roitfeld as she launches CR Fashion Book – and from the look of it, it’s set to be just as entertaining as the Vogue documentary. But don’t take our word for it – watch the trailer.

The post Supermodels unite for the Pirelli 2014 Calendar appeared first on Wonderland.

1. Allison Williams

New season, new ‘It’ girl. For Autumn/Winter in New York, that honour falls on the head of Allison Williams. Certainly one of the more fabulously fashionable of the ‘Girls’ pack, the daughter of anchorman Brian Williams has become one of the most sought after street stylers of fashion – and she’s also nabbed a lucrative deal with Simple Skincare.

2. Solange Knowles

The duchess in the royal house of Queen B, the fabulous Solange is a star in her own right. She models for Kenzo and Madewell, namechecks designer and underground labels in her music videos, and rocks a gorgeous fro alongside bright, colourful prints. No wonder she’s the envy of conventional socialites from the Upper East Side to Chelsea.

3. Leaf Greener

Leaf Greener is our street style girl crush. Not only is she the senior fashion editor of ELLE China, she packs some serious (and often whimsical) punch in her street style creations. Her Tumblr is filled with rare glimpses into fashion on the road: inspirational destinations, shoot breaks and incredible style. She’s cool, twee, and absolutely fabulous – fashion week just got a lot more interesting.

4. Michelle Harper

This wacky New York socialite understands the importance of personal expression. In addition to her quirky style, an effortless hybrid of elegance and absurdity, Harper is a corporate fashion powerhouse – she serves on the board of directors for the couture council of FIT, Tata Harper Beauty and Casita Maria. In other words, she owns Fashion Week.

5. Carine Roitfeld

While it can’t be denied that Carine Roitfeld is an integral fixture in fashion week celebrations, this will be her first time around as the global fashion director for Harper’s Bazaar. In our book, if it’s a new title, it’s a new start. The former French Vogue editor-in-chief always turns a few heads with her ‘erotic-chic’ style and coquettish mannerisms, and with a new job description in tow, she will certainly be one of the prized possessions of designers’ front rows.

6. Dree Hemingway

Fashion is an industry of lineage, and Dree Hemingway is no exception. But while she is the great-granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway, Dree has become her own source of stardom as one of the trendiest ladies on the front row. From darling pea coats to simple tees paired with skinnies, the actress knows how to work street style without looking forced – no easy feat.

7. Stephanie La Cava

Along with overflowing glasses, fashion week gets a double dose of cava thanks to this 28-year-old triple threat. Stephanie’s not just a stylist and socialite – she’s also a serious writer for publications such as Vogue, The Paris Review, and Interview. To name a few.
