Tanya Dziahileva

Truth: we love models. So that’s why we try our bestest to stay up to date on the ins-and-outs of the modeling world. (It’s a crazy place, for sure.)

Luckily a little birdy helped us out, with all this useful information.

For starters Belarussian blonde Tanya Dziahileva has moved to Marilyn in Paris. Not such big news, except that her new model card spells her last name as “Dyagileva.” I’m sure the pronunciation in Belarussian is similar, but for us English-speaking folks, Dyagileva is no easier to pronounce or spell. Perhaps her new agents wanted to give the model a fresh start? I mean, she has been working since age 13….

Also heading to Marilyn is Margherita Missoni, who leaves IMG’s boards for the Paris-based agency. It’s an interesting choice for an international socialite, since Marilyn has almost no celebrities or socialites, while IMG’s board includes fellow social butterflies Julia Reston Roitfeld, Liv Tyler, and Elisa Sendaoui. This could mean Margherita is attempting to go a more high-fashion route, although her family ties to Missoni have kept her from branching too far away. She basically wears Missoni to every event, which is more dedication and loyalty than most models show to anything.

We’ve started to think of Chanel as a little family. A royal one of course, with Karl and Lady Amanda Harlech holding court as king and queen, Sebastian playing court jester, and a circle of courtesans, some of whom are in for life (Karen) and some (Irina, Heidi, Lara) who move in and out of [...]

The worst rip-offs are the ones that hit particularly close to home. Take, for example, these buckled Marc by Marc Jacobs boots. Our good friend developed a not-harmless crush on them after she watched Tanya D and Abbey Lee storm the Fall 08 runway. But then they cost almost $1000 until she stumbled upon what [...]

So here’s something weird: Don’t ask me why, but I was in a comic book store yesterday, and randomly, I picked up something called Glamourpuss. The cover read, “World Peace: Michael Kors Luggage Leads the Way!” Inside? An article (is that what you call them when it’s in a comic book?) entitled “There’s Nothing Funny [...]

Today’s rumor? Tanya D. for BCBG. The Belarusian model stormed every catwalk this season, starred in her fair share of editorials and has now, allegedly, landed a much deserved campaign. We wonder if she’ll stay on as the face of Michael Kors. We also wonder how she keeps getting booked for such all American designers [...]

I might have gone on and on about Tanya D. during fashion week, but Natalie would not shut up about Jourdan Dunn. “You have to see this girl!” she gasped, post ThreeAsFour, “I couldn’t take my eyes off her!” So I kept my eyes peeled, and when I saw her saunter at Peter Som, I [...]

(and now, a note from Faran…) Yesterday at the fin de Tommy Hilfiger, Britt and I watched Lily Donaldson climbing into a cab. Magdalena tried to go with her, but after a quick chat that we couldn’t hear, Lily slid the door with a curt thwump and Magdalena joined two other brunettes on the curb, [...]

Carlos Miele must make his clothes with the red carpet in mind, but they’re more suited to a beauty pageant stage. There was an origami pleated, yellow printed mini skirt that we could find a way to wear everyday, but the floor length, ruched, beaded and ombred gowns were a bit much. And the fur [...]
