| Karlie Kloss thinks Cara Delevingne is ’real’.
The Victoria’s Secret beauty spent her teenage years hanging out with fellow models Cara and Jourdan Dunn backstage at fashion shows, and believes It-girl Cara deserves her success because she is so natural and honest.
She explained: "I’ve been doing the shows with Cara and Jourdan since we were 15, and we’ve made some incredible memories together. Working at the shows you have a lot of late-night fittings and early-morning call times - it can be beyond exhausting.
"But we manage to make it fun by getting into trouble along the way. You know, just been normal 20 year olds. Cara is real, she’s just totally honest about who she is. And I think people love her for that.
"Cara and Jordan support me in everything I do. I couldn’t do this job without them."
The 20-year-old model has even gone into business with her pal Jourdan on an upcoming secret collaboration, as well as la... [more] |
| Jourdan Dunn is to be a guest judge on Naomi Campbell’s ’The Face’.
The 22-year-old stunner - who has been touted as the new Naomi - revealed the supermodel gave her plenty of advice while she appeared as a panellist on the British version of the brunette beauty’s US reality show, and she loved her experience on the programme.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I just finished filming with Naomi. I love her.
"She gives me words of widsom and is such a nice woman."
Naomi previously said she was looking forward to seeing how the series would do in the UK because it is a "real insight" into the industry.
She said: "Bringing the show over from the US is a real honour. I’m really looking forward to uncovering our next rising star. The show is a real insight into the modelling world, it’s authentic and fast-paced."
The show sees the three models build teams of four contestants, who will compete a... [more] |
 | Victoria Beckham feels fashion is where she belongs.
The former Spice Girl is thrilled with what she’s achieved as a designer over the last year and truly believes it’s what she’s meant to be doing in life.
Victoria said: "I love fashion. I really feel like it’s where I belong. There’s a lot I’d like to do. I’d like to expand my empire. I’m very lucky to have a job that I love."
The 39-year-old star - who walked away with the Woman of the Decade award at the annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards last night (04.06.13) - kicked off her career in 2006 by launching a denim line entitled ’dvb’ and now designs for the top end market, but revealed she would like to create a high street line at some point in the future.
Speaking to Glamour magazine, she explained: "Maybe at some point [I will collaborate with the high street] but not right now because I have a lot going on and I’ve got four children, but absolutely [at some point I will].... [more] |
| Jourdan Dunn models for the sake of her son.
The British beauty says her three-year-old boy Riley inspires her to
push herself harder in the fashion industry, even though she misses
him terribly when she travels for work.
She said: "I look at my son and he inspires me to do more and work
harder. I’m not doing this only for me.
"It’s hard ... we’re super close and he’s a real mummy’s boy. His
father has him at the weekend, but my mum’s my main support."
The 23-year-old star was discovered aged 14 in high street store
Primark when she was approached by a scout from Storm Modelling
Agency, but she didn’t believe she could be a model when she was a
teenager.
Jourdan laughed: "On the outside I look elegant, but then I open my
mouth and it’s all over. I was always told [I could do it], but I
didn’t want to hear it."
The statuesque model has experienced racism first hand within the
industry and was pa... [more] |
| Rihanna unveiled her fashion line for River Island at London Fashion Week.
The ’Stay’ singer presented her first collection for the high street chain in a fashion show at the Old Sorting Office in London last night (16.02.13), and made an appearance at the end of the show wearing one of her own designs, a little black dress with spaghetti straps.
The 24-year-old star’s collection features 1990s inspired pieces including bright neon separates that reflect her tropical Bajan roots, crop tops, a black gown with a thigh high split, patterned trousers and several denim garments.
The singer-turned-designer previously admitted that her clothing range reflects her own style.
She said: "In a selfish way, I designed a collection that I could wear.
"The theme throughout the entire collection was easy, laid-back chick, flirty... not very conservative, but I think everyone can wear this line.
"It’s not too costumey, it’s not t... [more] |
 | Naomi Campbell hates doing her own hair.
The 42-year-old model was one of the iconic supermodels of the 1990s, along with Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington and she admitted they were so "spoiled" with fantastic hair and make-up artists that she now struggles to do her own hair.
She said: "I was dressed up every day, hair and makeup done. We were quite spoiled, really. I am truly not good at doing my own hair because we always worked with such great professionals."
While she is still enjoying a successful career, Naomi says British beauty Cara Delevigne is one of her favourite new models.
She counts the 20-year-old star as one of the best models working today, placing her in the same category as her friend Kate Moss.
She told People magazine: "I love Jourdan Dunn’s face, beautiful, like a feline. I’m into Ajax, a lovely new girl Cara Delevigne and of course Kate Moss."

| Rihanna’s collection for River Island will be ’casual, chic and flirty
The ’Man Down’ singer has been working hard on her fashion line debut for the British high street chain, and hopes it includes pieces that will appeal to a wide variety of girls.
She said: "The collection is casual, it’s chic, it’s flirty. I wanted all types of girls to be able to wear this and feel comfortable but edgy.
"I wanted there to be character within the clothes, but without it trying too hard. It’s just simple."
The 24-year-old star also told how her designs will help the wearer to express their moods.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My style is inspired by my mood. This collection will definitely have a range of different moods, different attitudes because I’m assuming my fans will be the same way.
"I have been wanting to design my own fashion line for a very long time. This has been something I have wanted to do ev... [more] |
| Jourdan Dunn modelled until she was six months pregnant.
The 22-year-old supermodel walked the catwalk until she was heavily pregnant with her son, Riley, and couldn’t fit into the clothes anymore.
She told Britain’s Vogue magazine: "I worked until I was six months pregnant, when I couldn’t fit into any of the clothes. I didn’t keep my pregnancy a secret especially, but I worried about how people would treat me when they found out. I worried about being judged, but I realised I can’t live for other people."
Jourdan was 19 when she had her son - who suffers from sickle-cell anaemia - and returned to modelling when she was 20, and says the fashion community have been very understand about her being a working mother.
She added: "And I have felt very supported within the fashion industry. The agency really looked out for me. I went back to work after nine months - I didn’t feel any pressure to go back quickly, and when I did everyon... [more] |
| Jourdan Dunn shunned a tough diet-and-exercise regime before the Victoria’s Secret show last week
The British model admitted she opted to indulge in her favourite foods ahead of the fashion spectacular, whereas the majority of the other models embark on intensive workouts and carefully-planned meals.
She said: "I didn’t do much extra exercise, and if anything, I’ve been trying to put more junk in my trunk because Victoria’s Secret is all about celebrating a womanly body, so I even had a KFC the other day."
Jourdan’s attitude is in contrast to Erin Heatherton, who admits she limits her treats in the run up to the show.
She explained to Grazia magazine: "You don’t want to eat three cupcakes because you’re going to be in your underwear soon - so it’s probably not the best idea.
"I stick to little meals throughout the day. The best thing is to start the day with protein, like egg-white omelette and avocado for breakfast, then... [more] |

| Jourdan Dunn didn’t want to be a model
The 22-year-old beauty is one of the world’s most successful models but when she was approached to enter the industry when she was a teenager she had no desire to do it.
Recalling when Storm first approached her at a department store when she was 16, Jourdan said: "I just remember totally freaking out. When she handed me her card and it said ’Storm scout’, I automatically thought about Kate Moss
and Lily Cole. I thought, ’No way, they think I could be a model? They represent Kate Moss. I mean what?’ I was always being told I could be a model, but I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to be a model. I thought: ’What does a model even do?’ "
However, Jourdan - who was one of the models at the Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday (12.08.12) - is glad she pursued it and says her biggest accolade was landing a cover for Italian Vogue in July.
She told the New York Magazine: "I was finished by noon, but I ... [more] |
