The Models
Gigi Hadid – Guess Girl
Gigi was discovered at 2 years of age – no,
I’m not kidding – and has been modeling for Guess?
ever since. She’s tall, slender, has long golden hair, and a beautiful soft
baby face, so naturally you want to assume she’s a terrible person, but no
she’s very nice. I bet she would even
braid your hair at a sleep over party. Any who, she reminds me of the perfectly
sexy and confident fashion ad models I had on my walls in high school so she’s
an instant swoosh of nostalgia every time I see her. I’ve never been a jeans
girl, but she makes me want to be.
Rosie Huntington - Goddess
What can I say about Rosie, other than she
is a GODDESS. She’s got this sort of shy, untouchable, royal manner to her that
Kate Moss has. I don’t think I’ll say anything more about her – need to
maintain an air of mystery here, people.
Cara Delevingne – Sultry Rebel
Cara has gorgeous full, dark eyebrows, and
thick, dark locks. Her lips are pointy and her face has more angles than a
hexagon. So naturally she’s a devious motherfucker. She’s always a vampy Goth
on the red carpet, and off-duty she’s your typical British brat in schoolgirl
nostalgia and hoodies. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t pick out her clothing for
public appearances and instead just reps the brands she has lucrative contracts
with (Chanel, Burberry, etc..). I think at heart she is more of an Ellen
DeGeneres than say a Portia de Rossi, and could care less about wearing a
dress. I think the two main fashion take-aways you should observe from Cara are
that black lace and red lips are the sexiest look you’ll ever rock, and that
black lace and red lips are the sexiest look you’ll ever rock.
The Entrepreneurs
Nicole Richie – Polished Fun
On the surface Nicole’s style appears to be
quite liberal. Her hair is blue or pink or purple or some colour of the
rainbow, and she’ll wear a massive gold rapper chain around her neck or
sunglasses as big as her head to accessorize. Do not be fooled by these playful
decoys!! Nicole is fanatical about tailoring, fit, and balance. She has a set
number of silhouettes she’s determined that work well for her, and she wears
them over and over again. She’s like a super fun C-list celebrity version of
What Not to Wear. She respects what works for her figure and from that template
she’s able to build up and have a lot of fun. This is very much the vibe I get
from her personality and I find that the longer I follow her style evolution,
the closer she comes to finding the most authentic and stylish expression of
herself. It turns out Nicole isn’t a vapid club goer raver, she’s actually a
Type A creative (and so am I y’all).
Olsen Twins – Avant-Guarde
Looking at anything the Olsen twins wear is
like looking at the future. It never looks as good as it will, until the rest
of the world is wearing it too. They are geniuses that cannot be understood in
their time, i.e. the current fashion season. You need to skip forward a year or
two. This year they were super into comfortable footwear, and once again drowning
in fabric. That seems to be a look that works well in chilly New York.
Rachel Zoe – Seventies Flair
Rachel does the seventies better than
Farrah did and like Nicole Richie, her former client, she's quite formulaic. She wears the same billowing sleeves, the same chunky platforms, and the same floor sweeping gowns over and over again. Mind you, they're never actually literally the same. Rachel rarely repeats any outfit and I don't think she repeats jewelry either. She's got potentially the worst shopping problem on earth, which I understand. I too lose my mind in a room full of clothing for sale. With that said, she does fully commit to her image, never faltering from it, and embodies all the stylish virtues she espouses in her books.
