When Anna Wintour referred to relatively little-known model Arizona Muse in her last February’s editor’s letter as a “gorgeous, smart, grown-up” and compared her to the likes of modeling giants Linda Evangelista and Natalia Vodianova, we knew the modeling world was in for something big. It’s been quite the landmark year for Muse. Top campaigns, extensive runway presence, big covers, and now another feather in her cap — the number one model in Vogue.
Hundreds of models are cast every year in the pages of international editions of Vogue, and when we tallied the results of their work it quickly became obvious who came out on top in 2011. Quantity and quality must be accounted for to make the top 10. Not only must a models’ appearances be plentiful, but the quality of those appearances must be stellar as well. This includes factors like only-girl editorials, the caliber of photographers they work with and editions they’re in, and their number of overall pages. Arizona’s scoresheet was predictably well-rounded. She worked with the best photographers, scored the most solo editorials and graced enough pages to fill an entire August issue all on her own (that’s about 220 for those of you keeping track). She started the year with a bang by starring in only-girl editorials for Vogue China, Italia, Paris, UK and US, and that was in just one month!
It’s an unusual feat for a model to skyrocket to the extent Arizona has since she hit the international scene last year, and while we’re thrilled for her success, we wonder if it’ll stick. While Muse has the novelty (and sometimes the curse) of it-girl status, it remains to be seen whether she’ll be blessed with longevity, the true mark of a great and successful model. We are looking forward to what the new year will bring for her.
For now, click through for the rest of the top 10.

Another day, another spring ad campaign featuring Gisele Bundchen, who is obviously trying to hang on to her title of “highest paid model ever.” Remember all those not-so-velied rumors about her shooting the Givenchy campaign? Well, here’s the result. Read more »
On the left is a Spring 2011 ad campaign for David Yurman featuring a bed-headed Kate Moss sultrily lifting her fingers to her mouth to show off the jeweler’s rings. On the right is an ad campaign for the supermodel’s line for Fred showing a bed-headed Kate Moss sultrily lifting her fingers to her mouth to show off the jeweler’s rings. Uh oh.
And the similarities don’t end there. Kate Moss’ Fred campaign features a number of photos that seem to crib directly from the model’s Peter Lindbergh-shot campaign for Yurman last year (check out the other comparison shots below–the similarities are glaringly obvious). Read more »

According to Made in Brazil Blog‘s Juliano Corbetta, who is based in Sao Paulo, “the rumor made news on every single gossip site in Brazil on Friday, but the strange thing is that the source (GPS Brasília) also claimed that Harry Louis declined to comment on the status of his relationship with Marc.” Read more »

A red lip is one of the most classic and visually stunning things you can do to your face (well, makeup-wise), and it’s perfect for the holidays. But the perfect red is hard to get right–and apply. From the color getting all over everything (your teeth, your glass, whoever you’re kissing) to choosing the right red for your coloring, it’s just one big pain in the ass. After sticking firmly to neutrals and the occasional fuchsia for years, I’ve recently been experimenting with reds and decided that some professional help was required.
Enter Tim Quinn, who is Giorgio Armani Beauty’s celeb makeup guru. He trained with Pat McGrath and has worked with the likes of Gwen Stefani (arguably the patron saint of red lipstick) and Victoria Beckham. His handiwork and words of wisdom have been featured in countless glossies, and I was lucky to snag him for a quick tutorial. Read on for advice on how to apply red lipstick, how to get it to stay on, and how to choose a flattering shade, just in time for all those holiday parties.

Donna Karan has come under fire recently over her spring 2012 campaign, which features Brazilian model Adriana Lima and was shot in Haiti. Karan shot the campaign in Haiti, she explained in a release, because the country was her “creative inspiration, bringing my two worlds together… [the campaign] infuses the vibrant spirit of Haiti into a sexy New York sophistication.” She’s founded a charity to bring support to the ravaged country called Hope Help & Rebuild Haiti and said that bringing awareness to Haiti has become a “personal passion” of hers. She’s definitely done that here–but it has been the opinion of some blog commenters that the result is misguided and racist.
