Georgina’s Party

by Britt Aboutaleb

michelle for guess for marie claire.jpgMichelle Trachtenberg’s danced around the fashion crowd for a bit now without actually attaching her name to anything (except for her stint as one of the faces for Candie’s at Kohl’s which she’d probably like us to forget.)

But now she’s throwing a party for Guess.

They’re re-opening their Soho flagship store at the end of July and Georgina Sparks, along with Marie Claire, will host the bash.

Which of course makes us wonder, will Michelle grace an upcoming cover of Marie Claire or join forces with Guess’ sultry models?

It also makes us wonder what went wrong in the world of Gossip Girls-turned-campaign faces. We’re still not over Leighton for Reebok or Ed for K Swiss, and Michelle for Guess is just as disturbing. They all have faces worthy of high fashion campaigns and Michelle and Leighton both have curves we’d love to see in runway clothes.

Make us proud Blake.

Curves in Runway clothes? Isn't that an oxymoron?

they do these bc they are paid quite well and in today's economy--can you blame them? the big name campaigns do not pay well at all.

I'm not surprised because Michelle did much more in the business before GG. She didn't gain her fame through the show like Ed and Penn had to. Does anyone remember Ice Princess? Therefore, I'm not surprised she's taken the route Leighton and Ed took.

And I have to say, Ed for K Swiss was probably the worst thing that's ever happened. I nearly vomited. Luckily his recent GQ spread put him back on my list of potential husbands.

A little addition, I was actually slightly surprised and revolted when they decided to add her to the GG cast. However, I grew to accept her in the role of evil villain and think she did rather well, considering her squeaky clean past.

there probably won't be much more of leighton's campaigns once her sex tape starts getting around...

Aside from Ed for K Swiss - which was truly mismatched - I'd imagine that most people watching the show would be more likely to buy something by Reebok than Reem Acra or a less mass brand.

@ #3

Ice Princess?! Does anyone remember Pete & Pete?

I'd get behind any ad campaign in which she brought back the arm cast.

i loved ice princess But i dont like Michelle at all. Her voice is just too nerdy sounding and i cant quite beleive her as georgina. She doesnt look the part either, and definetly doesnt look high fashion to me at all.

they all look so commercial, i mean, it's gossip girl, a show on the cw? i think the companies they team up with fit well with who their audiences are
