11.08.12 / The Extras Karlie’s New Kut The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show happened last night (it airs on CBS on December 4th), and the call time for models, hair, and makeup was 9 AM. For a 7 PM show. That’s ten hours of hair, makeup, and spray tanning. But somewhere between makeup (typical glowy gorgeousness courtesy of Tom Pecheux) and hair (“beachy, tousled, undone” waves by Orlando Pita), runway veteran and burgeoning Kookie entrepreneur Karlie Kloss popped out of her makeup chair to tell us about something near and dear to our hearts: a new ‘do. “I think a woman’s confidence is in her hair. It’s true! When you change your hair, everything sort of changes. It affects the way you act, the way you dress…your hair is a very very influential part of your style. And a woman with a great haircut can wear a paper bag and look amazing. Garren cut it on Monday for a Vogue story, at Patrick [Demarchelier’s] studio. He took off about eight inches. My hair has always been very thin, very fine—very boring, actually, and it was so broken and damaged from the last five years of working. It was really just kind of nothing. It could be turned in to a long, glamorous thing with extensions, or you could add a fringe, but on its own, it had no style. And no texture, either. Also, the thing is, for me, as a model, having the plain, stereotypical model hair, you’re a blank canvas, which allows you to transform—to become a character—whereas when you have a hairstyle, you’re individualized. And this cut, just by itself, is such a style. I love it; I feel like I’m changing... I don’t know, I’m finding who I am. I’m twenty years old, I’m entering a new phase of my life; I bought a house! I sign the papers tomorrow. There’s a lot of change happening in my life right now. It’s a new haircut for a new decade.” And how would she describe this cut? We mentioned Michelle Pfieffer in Scarface; she said she’s channeling Jane Birkin. Above all, though, “It’s…it’s…‘the Karlie.’ It’s the Karlie! [Laughs] I want women to someday go in to the hair salon and say, ‘I want the Karlie.’” At this point, Tom Pecheux passed by and purred, “She looks divine! I love it,” giving her a squeeze. “Can I say something?” he continued. “If you were stupid, it would not look good.” Kloss’ eyes widened. “I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not!” she laughed. Chalk it up to the language barrier (Pecheux is as French as they come), but if smart equals confident, then he is 100% right.

Anja Rubik, Model "Most of my projects, even in modeling, form organically. I did a line of shoes and bags with Giuseppe Zanotti recently, because I was in the campaigns for six or seven years and we would always talk about shoes, what we liked, what we didn't, so we decided to do a capsule. Or, for example, a friend in Vienna asked me to help him with a magazine, 25, and then we found an investor, kind of by accident. So, now I’m the Creative Director slash everything else—the team is really small. I started to think about magazines as turning more into collector’s items, like books, because you can’t compete with the Internet. I want 25 to exist as a portrait of a specific time, with an erotic twist. It’s about incredible people, and features smart content, great fashion coverage, and has a sense of humor, which is the biggest thing. It doesn’t have ads because we didn’t want any restrictions. While preparing for the first issue, I fell in love with magazines from the late ‘60s/early ‘70s—one in particular, Viva, which was like a Penthouse publication for women. It featured very sensual photographs of women and men. After flipping through it, I realized that, today, our approach to nudity is either really prude or really vulgar. It’s so weird! I was even thrown off of Instagram recently for an “inappropriate posting.” It was a picture that Katja Rahlwes shot of me for Purple magazine. You could see a quarter of nipple and they shut my account down...I had like 30,000 followers. A nipple. Hello? You have one. I have one. I’m totally comfortable shooting topless. That being said, I don’t do that many nudes. I only do it with photographers I really trust. But it seems like, now, it’s fine for men to be sexual, but it’s still not OK for women to be sexual or sensual. And women have so many issues with themselves—their beauty, their bodies. Your life shouldn’t be built around trying to be beautiful for others. Women are turning to all of these plastic surgeries and other things to try to fit into this idolized, weird creature with big lips, big boobs, and a big ass, like a doll. But that’s not what sensuality is about. I appreciate that beauty is an individual thing. For me, the most beautiful thing in a woman is her charisma and her self-confidence. I mean, I also love beautiful skin. I think that’s the second most important thing. My skin is only good because I take care of it. I never go to sleep with makeup on. I use Bioderma Créaline to wash my makeup off, but you have to use something oily to remove your eye makeup, like La Roche-Posay Respectissime Waterproof Eye-Makeup Remover, and then use Créaline. I also like doing Kiehl’s Algae Masque at night. After taking my makeup off, I apply rosewater, then Joëlle Ciocco Pure Concentrated Serum with Botanical Oils or Rodin Olio Lusso, which is amazing to use every second or third day. Isabelle Bellis told me about the Joëlle Ciocco serum. It just makes your face look and feel better, and it’s really great for dry skin. Joëlle Ciocco Lotion Lactée is great, too, to use like a toner. Then I apply a cream, though sometimes I’ll go straight from the rosewater to a cream. I’m always moisturizing and I use a lot of different creams—I travel with at least six, because every cream supplies your skin with something different. I change mine from day to day so my skin won’t get resistant to what I’m giving it. My mother taught me this. I’ve always used a heavy cream during the day, and a light one for going to bed, so my skin doesn’t suffocate. Mene & Moy Stand By Cream C 5 is a dermatologist’s cream that I use every second day. La Prairie’s products are also good; I like the Emulsion Anti-Age SPF 30 Complex Cellular and, before bed, Skin Caviar. And I love the whole Dr. Hauschka line. If my skin gets very dry, I like Propolis Plus Skin Cream, which I found here at the farmer’s market in Union Square, because it has a little texture in it to stimulate circulation. It stinks slightly, so it’s only for nights when I’m staying in. For sun protection, Avène Hydrance Optimale Light Hydrating Cream SPF 20 is the best for my face. I store it in the fridge. Every single day I use something different. I don’t like anything with a lot of perfume, and too much essential oil can be bad for your skin. It dries mine out. I wear eye cream every day, as well, like Environ Ionzyme C-Quence Eye Moisturizing Lotion and La Mer Eye Concentrate, to prevent wrinkles—I don’t want to encourage them. When my eyes are really tired and irritated after fashion shows, Flos Lek Laboratorium Under-Eye Cream [from Poland] is the best to cool the irritation and calm them down. All of my skin can get irritated very easily, so after I get out of the shower, I put baby oil everywhere, then rinse it off with water. For body lotion, I like Embryolisse Lait-Crème Fluide. It's very basic. Makeup-wise, before I put anything on, I smooth my skin with La Prairie Skin Cellular Treatment Gold Illusion Line Filler. It has a bit of gold in it, to get the skin glowing, and it’s so silky. I don’t really use foundation, but if I’m going out to an event, I will make my own tinted moisturizer by putting a few drops of MAC foundation into a cream. For me, it’s not about covering up so much as evening out the tone of my skin. I'll put a little Bobbi Brown concealer on top of the foundation, using my fingers to help it sit better. Nars Douceur is the best blush. For under-eye coverage, I like Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat. And if I’m looking really dead, I will apply some highlighter. The best one is RMS Living Luminizer, which I apply to the inner corners of my eyelids, my cheekbones, above my lip, and the tip of my nose. I use a little bronzer—mine is Burberry—across my nose to narrow down my face. I like makeup, but the thing is, sometimes it comes out great, and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t have a lot of patience. There are girls like Natasha [Poly] who love makeup, and if she’s going to an event and has to do her own makeup, she’ll spend two hours doing it. I can’t. It’s too much for me. She’ll do a perfect eyeliner and it’ll look beautiful. Ask her how long it took, and she’ll say, 'Oh, over an hour!' I can’t. I have fifteen, twenty minutes and that’s the max I can dedicate to my makeup. On a daily basis, the only makeup I wear is concealer and black eyeliner: MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder, smudged a little bit. I use it as shading to extend my eyes because they’re quite round. I also always curl my eyelashes. If I put on mascara, I’ll use Chanel Inimitable Mascara or Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara. With the latter, you always have to rub a little of it off with a piece of toilet paper, or else it’s a little too much. I love, love, love Burberry’s Sheer Eye Shadow in Almond 06, because it doesn’t have any shimmer, which I think can look cheap. The best brushes for applying shadow are from Sephora, like the Professional #13 and #57. And on my brows, Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Dark Blonde is very good. Otherwise, to keep my eyebrows in line, I just spray a brush with hairspray and comb them. I don’t do much to my lips because they’re very tinted as is. I keep them hydrated with Lucas Papaw Ointment or Nuxe Lip Balm. I never go anywhere without Homeoplasmine; it’s also great to put on pimples! I use Chanel Rouge Allure Mythic 69 lipstick all the time because it’s sheer and it makes my lips a little shiny. If I do a red lip, I use a Nars Velvet Matte Pencil instead of a lipstick. My hair tends to get very dry from using so many products on shoots. I keep a gigantic jug of Aestelance Protein Mask around, which even moisturizes the skin. It’s amazing for your hair, especially if it’s colored or over-treated, and it brushes out so smoothly, so your hair won’t get frizzy. After shampooing and conditioning, I put a few drops of Neil George Indian Gooseberry Treatment Oil on my wet hair before I brush it. Christiaan Houtenbos gave it to me. You don’t even feel it. I prefer it to Moroccan Oil, which can sometimes be too heavy...But the best thing is liquid panthenol. It normally comes in foam form for burns, but in liquid form, it stimulates hair growth. It’s actually used in hospitals for chemotherapy patients who lose their hair and have sensitive scalps. My friend recommended that I use it, and my hair grows so much faster now. I put mine in a little spray pump so I can just apply to the roots after I wash my hair and rub it in. I like to leave it in to give my hair a slight lift, which I like, because I have a small head." —as told to ITG Anja Rubik photographed by Emily Weiss in New York on February 12, 2013.

03.07.13 / The Face Cara Delevingne It's been a seriously big year for Cara Delevingne. Scratch that: it still is a seriously big year for Cara Delevingne. She came seemingly out of nowhere a couple seasons ago, and now you can't scroll through a fashion week street-style slideshow in the world without hitting a pic of her comely crossed-eyes (stuck-out tongue, optional). This season, she's walked in what seems like maybe every show and out-walked every other model (if you feel like tallying, go for it), which is not to mention the Burberry, Chanel, H&M, Dominic Jones, DKNY, Zara, Pepe Jeans, My Crazy Scrunchie, and Blumarine campaigns she's got under her belt. Or, you know, her covers of LOVE, Style.com/Print, Vogue UK, i-D, Russh, Jalouse, and Vogue Italia Beauty. What we're trying to say is: girl's been busy. We caught up with the 20-year-old Brit (who BuzzFeed dubbed "the Jennifer Lawrence of models") backstage at Stella McCartney: "I turned twenty in August. I’m old! [Laughs] I started modeling when I was nearly eighteen so I've been doing it for three years. I was modeling for at least a year or two before anything happened, before I started booking shows—I was doing Asos in London and Clark’s, little tiny jobs just to make a little money to go traveling and act and stuff. In general, I want to act and I want to do music; I don’t want to do this forever. Fuck no! [Laughs] I had a really small part in Anna Karenina. A lot of people said they were shocked when they saw me in it, and I love that. I have the most fun at shows when I am able to just be myself, having fun, joking around, just being cheeky and myself. Usually, at shows I’m kind of acting and trying to be a certain type of woman that the designer wants. I’m actually better at being other people than myself, I think. I don’t know. Actually, that’s not true, the thing is when I’m doing this type of thing, I talk to people and the nervous energy just makes it so that I can’t stop speaking. It’s what I do in auditions; I get really scared and I just talk, talk, talk. It’s a nightmare. My friend calls me Chatty Cathy. I literally sleep anywhere. At home in my bed, at the shows getting my makeup done, wherever. I sleep standing up. I’ve just developed narcolepsy now; it’s really weird. I definitely didn’t have it when I was younger—I always had insomnia—but now I can just kind of pass out. If I were sitting in this chair for longer, I would pass out right here. I’m so ready to go on holiday—I really want to go to the Dead Sea. But it’s been an amazing, amazing season and I’m so lucky to do the shows I’m doing. Everything is just really crazy: London was too much. Well, not too much, but so many shows. Four shows a day, and in-between all of that, getting mobbed by people... Fans are amazing, and London is where I’m from—and English kids, you know, just understand each other—so London is where I have the biggest base, I guess. I think it’s the relationships that I’ve made [that have helped my career a lot]. Katie [Grand, editor in chief of LOVE] will hire me because we’re good friends; we work really well together. When I do shoots and when I do shows, you see me being crazy, you see me being fun, and everyone’s like, ‘How the hell can she model?’ but when I do it, I am very professional—I don’t really seem like the most professional person, but when I’m working I take it very seriously. It’s a job and it’s a part, a character. When I’m on set, I’m in that kind of mode. It’s different. I’m tiny for runway! I’m 5’8” or 5’7”. I have no clue how I worked around it, to be honest. Still, it depends—a lot of people still tell me that I’m too short. It’s one of the biggest problems that I have to face, being too small. And whatever, they can decide that, but I don’t think height matters. I think it matters how you look in the clothes and how you pull them off." —as told to ITG Cara Delevingne photographed by Emily Weiss in Paris on March 4th, 2013. Source: intothegloss.com

She's def growing on me... EDIT: While I'm stating my conversion I might as well explain why and get it off my chest. I guess what held me back from liking Magda's look was the very thing that makes her high fashion: her bone structure. I thought it was a little too excessive even though its one in like, 10 million. Another feature which I saw as an imperfection was her nose IDK why really...but now that I think about it....her eyes/lip shape always kept drawing me back because they are beautiful plus her hair/hair color is lovely. Plus without her bone structure she would be too commercial, even though that tends to be my favorite kind of model. I even find her slighly crossed eyes uber cute and doll-like! Looking through all her work from runway/backstage, editorial and even instagram she photographs enviably. So in retrospect she really is a GOOD model. I hope to keep seeing more amazing work And thanks to all who contribute to this thread so we don't get to miss out on her talent.
