Doutzen Kroes on Why Photoshop is Essential: ‘People Still Want to Believe in the Fantasy’

by

An Angel appeared to me in the abandoned high rise where last night’s Maison Martin Margiela x H&M arty party was held: It was the heavenly Doutzen Kroes, who was more than obliging to chat with me (a mere mortal) about the recently leaked, unretouched photos of her modeling bikinis for Victoria’s Secret.

While Kroes is arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world without retouching, it can’t be easy to have slews of before-and-after comparison shots plastering the Internet and showing your every wrinkle, lump and bump. But according to Kroes, these kinds of mishaps come with the territory–and are actually a good thing.

Saint Laurent Model Louise Parker Talks Confidentiality Agreements and Group Dinners with Hedi Slimane

by

One of the many details about Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent debut in Paris that had everyone buzzing was the fact that Slimane had cast several relatively unknown models as exclusives and kept them a secret until the runway show.

Now that Paris Fashion Week and the drama-filled fallout are behind us, one of those models gave an interview to The Cut about how she was plucked from relative obscurity to fly to Paris to hang out and “work with” Hedi Slimane for several weeks leading up to the show. Her name is Louise Parker and she hales from Minnesota. Here’s what else we learned.

Liberty Ross Opens Up About Tough Life Lessons and Posing as One of Ozzy Osbourne’s Brides

by

We don’t know too much about Liberty Ross, but she opened up in the latest installment of Alexander Wang’s “Confessionals” series about learning life lessons “when things seem really bad” and “mov[ing] forward gracefully.” Also? Her dad had a roller disco in LA in the 80s and she once posed as a bride on the cover of one of Ozzy Osbourne’s albums.

Erin Wasson Has Shamans Bless Her Body Wash and Other Revelations from Her Into the Gloss Profile

by

It’s always a treat to get some insight into the lives of the world’s most gorgeous women: Models are, more often than not, seen and seldom heard. We’ve had a hunch for some time now that Maybelline face Erin Wasson, who made the jump to the big screen in this summer’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, wasn’t just your average model-cum-actress–and her new stream-of-consciousness profile on Into the Gloss more than proves our theory.

From having a knack for identifying sexually active teen models to using body wash blessed by shamans, Wasson really isn’t holding anything back on this one. And we’re so, so happy about that: Who else can say she lets her craniosacral therapist swirl a finger around in her mouth? And loves it?

Victoria’s Secret Angel Erin Heatherton Tells Us How She Really Feels About Photoshopping

by

If you follow a fashion blog or two, you’re probably aware that there’s a wave of did-they-or-didn’t-they Photoshop hysteria going on right now. The latest cases in point: Karlie Kloss’ disappearing ribs, Candice Swanepoel’s lopsided boob-controversy and American Apparel’s, uh, floating horse head conspiracy.

It was high time we checked in with a qualified expert for some insight into this matter. Luckily, the supermodel-populated God’s Love We Deliver event honoring Michael Kors was the perfect place to gather intel and we honed in on Victoria’s Secret Angel Erin Heatherton to share her expert opinion.

Tyra Banks’s Forehead Is Getting a TV Show

by

Tyra Banks is returning to sitcoms. (We say return because remember how awesome she was as Jackie Ames in Fresh Prince?)

Tyra’s new autobiographical show Fivehead will focus on her awkward teen years and air on ABC, Deadline is reporting.

“In high school, if you have glasses, you’re a ‘four eyes’, if you have braces, you’re a ‘metal mouth’ but if you had my forehead? You’re a FIVEHEAD,” she said. Ohhh, got it.
