What happens in Vegas...

Bye bye

2009-07-02T08:50:00.002+02:00

Dear all,

I am moving to a new site. I do not like being censored, specially when i have never shown anything rude or obscene. The fact that blogger has put this warning message when trying to enter my blog has bothered me really much. I know this has been because some of some reader who has considered that the content of this blog is "doubtful", which I honestly do not understand. It is simple: if you do not like fashion, photography, model's life and all the good stuff I enjoy sharing here do not visit me.
For all this i have decided to move to http://whathappensinvegasstaysinvegas.wordpress.com/
I hope to meet you all there.
Take care.
Charlotte.

Do you remember that music programme on VH1 named now and then? I loved watching the latest videos of my favourite artists and then remember how they looked like in the past.

This is more or less the same but with pictures of some of the most important models of the 90's. You can see them when they were just little girls, when they still did not know that they would become powerful women in the fashion industry.

Christy Turlington

Linda Evangelista

Cindy Crawford

Naomi Campbell

Helena Christensen

Stephanie Seymour

Karen Mulder

Iman

Yasmeen Ghauri

Paulina Porizkova

Steven Klein

2009-05-04T10:45:00.054+02:00

Controversial photographer from Rhode Island.

He has created iconic images of our time by subverting our notions of glamour, fame, and beauty.

Always exploding our expectations of contemporary photography.

I have gathered some of his most representative pictures, where you will find some common features in his job: bed, swimming-pool and horses.

Madonna, Brad Pitt and the Beckhams, are part of his muse characters.

Have a nice week.

Charlotte

Just back from Paris

2009-04-15T11:00:00.011+02:00

... and willing to go back!

I edit this post to thank lovely Meg from Pudding and Pie! Sorry, I almost for get about this. I really appreciate it! Thank you so much.

Pirelli Calendar 1999

2009-03-16T16:30:00.017+01:00

Hi there!
I have always loved the Pirelli calendar, it is a shame it is so difficult to get a copy (you see why I do wanna be a socialite!!).
In 1999, photogrpher Herb Ritts captured the image of the 12 main top models of that time reflecting the ambience of the different decades of the century that was coming to an end. The result was great, I love each picture of this calendar. Have a look at it.

Chandra North directly from the end of XIX century. Don't you think she looks like Kate Moss in this picture?

Sophie Dhal for the first decade of the XXth century.

Karen Elson. It is a shame that her beautiful red head does not show in black and white pictures. Second decade and heart-shaped lips.

Michele Hicks showing the crazy twenties. She looks like a cat here.

Carolyn Murphy as a Hollywood star from the 30's, glorious times.

Shirley Mallman as a sex symbol from the 40's.

Laetitia Casta, a gorgeus pin up from the 50's

Audrey Marnay and the californinan hippy mood from the 60's.

Elsa Benítez in the 70's with the racial spirit of freedom.

Briget Hall. Studio 54, supermodels, fierceness and attitude from the 80's.

Angela Lindvall with the minimalism and simplicity of the 90's.

The future before our eyes with Alek Wek.

Hope you liked this! Did you know all the models? You can see Karen, who is back on the runways of the fashion weeks, Carolyn who signed for Estee Lauder, Laetitia for L'Oreal, and some others who continue doing campaigns and other who have retired.

Have a nice week!

Besos,

Charlotte

And of course... ENHORABUENA PENÉLOPE!

Have a nice week.

Find the difference...

2009-02-11T15:15:00.000+01:00

And following with the Haute Couture from Paris, let's see the difference between the different designers.

A make up session should be aimed to make you look gorgeus, theorically...

While in Lacroix....

The result is this...

In Givenchy...

The result is a bit different...

And in the runway...

The power of colour...

vs.

mmm, how can I say it... the lack of colour

I must say that I have always been a fan of Givenchy collections, but honestly I haven't liked this one very much :(

I love the colours and the joy that this collection irradiates...

Hope you liked this!

I am very proud to say that I received my second award! Strawberry Fields also thinks this bog is Fabulous! You should check hers as well.This Scottish curly haired girls has much to say ;)

And I don't forget my very first award from Meg and her blog Pudding and Pie

Hope you did it ok in your mid term today!

I am supposed to tag some other bloggers. I do not know who has been already tagged but anyway here are my "fabulous" ones:

Hannah from Hannah Couture

Allure from Allure-Allure

Iñaki from So Vip Zone

Phyllis from From the Desk of Phyllis

Blonde Hair... from Blonde Hair Blue Jeans

Take care and Besos!

Charlotte.

Chanel in Black & White

2009-02-02T16:00:00.000+01:00

Inspired by

Starring...

My favourites...

Never thought of a Black&White spring /summer collection... I miss a touch of colour but I like it. I think it is the best that Karl has done lately.

Besos,

Charlotte

PS Thanks to Meg from Pudding and Pie for giving me my very first award. I promise to follow with the rules of it in my next post. Thank you!

J'adore Dior

2009-01-27T17:36:00.000+01:00

Before the show, backstage fever...

Expectation...

And here we go...

Details of Dior's magic...

Different perspectives....

This collection is beauty itself.

Take care,

Charlotte.

Backstage Life

Vogue US

2009-01-14T13:46:00.000+01:00

I do not usually post about mags covers but today I felt like showing you this one.
In my opinion this is one of the best covers of US Vogue of the last months. I know, there is an excess of Photoshop in here but I like it. Maybe it is the colours, or the dress by Marc Jacobs, the red lipstick or the wavy hair... but I love it.

(souce Just Jared)

I am will to get me the February issue of Vogue France dedicated to Lara Stone!!!

Do you usually buy foreign magazine issues?

Charlotte

Andrés Velencoso

2008-12-03T12:09:00.001+01:00

Andrés Velencoso, male model, Spanish. Brown hair, brown eyes. What else can I tell you?

Check him out for yourselves.

Gossip note: He is said to be dating Kylie at the moment.

Terry Richardson

2008-10-22T23:20:00.000+02:00

He is one of the most controversial photographers of our times. He explores sexuality and people through his shots. Explicit sexual pics, sometimes genious, sometimes grotesque, you love him or you hate him.
He has declared that he likes putting sexual images in mainstram magazines, not in porn magazines, that he likes to be subversive, to push images as far as he can and still get them run. It's kind of a challenge to see what he can slip in.

He has worked with people of all condition, and if you visit his website you wil even find an email address to send your contact information in case you wish to pose nude for him.

You will find his pics in Sisley campaigns or in editorials for Vogue France.

What do you think of his work?

Charlotte

Peter Lindberg

2008-09-23T11:35:00.000+02:00

Peter Lindbergh was born in Germany. He studied painting in an art school, but his real passion was the photography. He started working as an advertising photographer, afterwards he moved to Paris where he focused on fashion fotography.

His pics have been published in the most important fashion mags like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, he is closely related to Harper's Bazaar, where we can find most of his jobs.

I love the use of the light in his portrait pictures. And it is curious that hes worked with the "naughty girls" of the moment (Paris and Nicole, Lindsay and the fake Amy)

Hope you enjoy this selection.

Charlotte

Back to Reality

2008-09-02T12:17:00.000+02:00

...or post vacational depression... snif snif.
I would rather think in summer good times...

I know I have been disconnected for so long but I really hope you all come "chez moi" in the new season. I will try to prepare good pics to show you, but for the moment this is just a quick "hello", kinda life proof.

The fact is that I am quite sad right now that holidays are over, and I just can think of the summer nights, parties, friends, family, sun...

This is sum up of my holidays:

Beach

Mojitos

Croatia

Ice Creammmmmmm mmmmmm...

Books (and fashion issues, of course)

Relax

Please, give me some days to get used to the office and the computer.
Thanks for reading!

Charlotte

Jon Kortajarena

2008-06-26T08:51:00.000+02:00

Jon Kortajarena, Spanish model. Born 19th May, 1985. Height: 189 cm (6'2"). Jon is at the top of his carreer at this very moment. The camera loves his green eyes. They love him in Milan. You have recently seen him in Terry Richardson pics.

This is the Spanish power. Would you like to try some?

Steven Meisel

2008-06-16T12:22:00.000+02:00

Steven Meisel was born in New York in 1954 and studied at the Parsons School of Design. Prolific and innovative, Meisel has shaped important trends in fashion for more than twenty years through major advertising campaigns for Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, and Versace, among others.

Meisel's photographs have appeared on every cover and lead editorial story of every issue of Vogue Italia. He is a primary photographer for both the American and Italian editions of the magazine.

Meisel has produced several books, including Herb Ritts: Work; Dolce & Gabbana: Animal, Rock and Royalty (Tiny Folios Series); and Steven Meisel, but is perhaps best known for his 1992 collaboration with Madonna on the controversial coffee-table book Sex.

I personally love his work, and you?

Gold Diggers

2008-05-27T18:09:00.001+02:00

Natasha Poly by Terry Richardson for Vogue Paris.

I am still deciding if I like the pics or not. I think what is reflected in them is something so disgusting to me that I do not like them for that reason. But on the other hand I believe that if I feel bad looking at them it must be because they are good pics, because they got to overwhelmed me. I don't know if you get me. Maybe too deep thoughts for a Tuesday.

What do you think?

Eugenio Recuenco

2008-05-14T13:34:00.000+02:00

And I go on talking about Spanish people. Today Eugenio Recuenco, photographer. Here you have some of his pics:

Some of his clients: Universal Music, Cutty Sark, Yves Saint Laurent, Loewe, Lavazza, Nolita, Le Bon Marche, Custo, Diesel, Larios, Erickson, Mango, Pull and Bear, Vasava, Nina Ricci, Carrera y Carrera, Boucheron , Vogue, Madame Figaro, Vanidad, Vanity Fair, Play Station, Caramelo, Caroche, Cimarron, Maxim,GQ, Nespresso, Rochas...

What do you think of his work?

Marina Pérez

2008-05-08T10:27:00.000+02:00

Marina Pérez is one of the best Spanish models. She has worked for the best designers, made the best editorials with important photographers. Nowadays she does not do as much designers runaways as she used to, guess she is taking it easy after a few years of full throttle.

Here you have some pics.

Did you know Marina? Do you like her?

David Lachapelle

2008-04-30T14:59:00.000+02:00

David Lachapelle is one of the best known photographers of our time. He has work with many diferent celebrities, from models, actors and people from the music business.
He has even directed some video clips, such us Britney's Everytime.
You will recognise his pics by the bright colours, sexy and provocative style.

Which is your favourite Lachapelle picture? Do you like his style?

Claudia Schiffer

2008-04-29T09:28:00.000+02:00

Claudia Schiffer keeps on working in the fashion scene. I think she is 37 now but we can still find her in Chanel, Louis Vuitton and many other campaigns.
She belongs to the top model generation of the 90's, and I believe it will be difficult to have some other models like her or Linda, Naomi, Christy or Elle in the future. They continue working and when they appear on the catwalk they outshine the rest of the models.

The photographs belong to Vogue Italy, April issue.

Which model of the 90's was your favorite?

Andres Velencoso

2008-04-23T10:23:00.000+02:00

Here you have some pics by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Vogue Hommes International.
He is Andres Velencoso, Spanish model, who has worked with Chanel in Allure Sport campaign, for Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male, and other campaigns for Louis Vuitton (together with JLo), L'Oreal, etc. She is Daria Werbowy, and I am sure you know her pretty well.

The photos have been quite controversial. In my opinion they could have done it better. An both models are too thin. just my opinion.

What do you think?
