The Model As Muse: Why This Season Belongs to Arizona

Every season has a model.
Vogue España March 2011

Every season has a model. Spring/Summer 2010 was all about Lindsey Wixson — 'twas impossible to move without seeing her famous puckered pout or cherubic face. And now it's Arizona Muse's turn. Her star is definitely shining the brightest at Fashion Week, having walked for all the big guns like Derek Lam, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Vera Wang, Jason Wu, Oscar de la Renta and many more.

She continues to wow us in London, taking to the Burberry Prorsum and Christopher Kane catwalks — not bad for a 21-year-old from Santa Fe. Recently becoming the face of Prada, Arizona got one of her first big breaks in Allure magazine and we doubt it'll be too long before the cosmetics world comes calling again. Here, we take a look back at some of Miss Muse's finest beauty moments of the year so far . . .

For Christopher Kane's 2011 Winter Collection, he gave himself the challenge of finding a textile that was completely new, leading him to his line filled with intriguing, otherworldly dresses made from liquid-filled plastic that metamorphosed and bubbled when worn.

For Christopher Kane's 2011 Winter Collection, he gave himself the challenge of finding a textile that was completely new, leading him to his line filled with intriguing, otherworldly dresses made from liquid-filled plastic that metamorphosed and bubbled when worn. These colourful touches served as vibrant, unexpected trims to a slew of sexy black dresses as well as scale-like sequin frocks. Couldn't make it to London? No fear, we're bringing the catwalk straight to your computer.

2011 A/W London Fashion Week: Olivia Palermo's Street Style

There's truly nothing I love more than a celeb who can repurpose her wardrobe staples without actually appearing like they are rehashing the same items.
How to Work Your Wardrobe: A Lesson in Styling, Courtesy of Olivia Palermo

There's truly nothing I love more than a celeb who can repurpose her wardrobe staples without actually appearing like they are rehashing the same items. Case in point, one Miss Olivia Palermo. Behind the street-style snapshots, we see the same beautiful bag, jacket, or pair of shoes — the fabulous contents of her closet reworked into one ah-mazing ensemble after the next. So when we spotted the front-row fixture popping up at London Fashion Week and showcasing the same spectacular pieces, done up in different ways, we were newly inspired to go home and get creative in our own closets.

Bella Interview

Olivia Palermo Opens Up About Being a Bare Naked Lady . . .

Our Sugar sisters in the UK got to speak to Olivia Palermo at London Fashion Week about her collaboration with Mango, what she was wearing and of course, about beauty.

Our Sugar sisters in the UK got to speak to Olivia Palermo at London Fashion Week about her collaboration with Mango, what she was wearing and of course, about beauty. Although she was hesitant to reveal anything too juicy (this is the second time she's told us that she keeps her product faves on the DL . . . boo), she did reveal that she loves the sites (naturally) and that she does all of her own hair and makeup to keep her look fresh. Not just a pretty face then. Talking about going from day to night she said, "I add a little bit of liner and deepen my shadow." And as for that gorgeous pout of hers . . . genetics can take credit. She says "I actually don't wear anything on my lips. I really like the shade of my lips and can't seem to find a shade I like better, so I usually just go bare!" Why not. Do you like Ms. P's polished look?

2011 A/W London Fashion Week: Top Beauty Looks, Day 5

Red seemed to be the colour on everybody's lips today at London Fashion Week.
Emilio de la Morena

Red seemed to be the colour on everybody's lips today at London Fashion Week. We spotted it at Amanda Wakeley, BodyAmr and Emilio de la Morena. The look was far cooler at Mary Katrantzou where models' mouths were painted with a light grey, which made it look as though they'd been out in the snow for too long. Speaking of colour, it was all about the lips with eyes are Fashion East and Ashish being colour blocked. Hair-wise, one of the Fashion East looks was all about the voluminous frizz, while models were given a slick cow slick at Emilio de la Morena. And polka dots came out to play once again at Meadham Kirchhoff. What do you think of day five? Got a favourite look?
