Though she’s only 20, Karlie Kloss has already cemented her status as one of theindustry’s top models with that fierce runway stomp and legs that never quit. Now, she’s putting her pegs to good use, collaborating with denim brand Frame on two styles of jeans meant for long-legged ladies like herself. “It’s a really exciting collaboration for me, because it came out of necessity,” Kloss told us at a preview of the line yesterday at Soho House. “I’ve been insecure my whole life about my height because I couldn’t find clothes to fit my body.” Frame Denim was founded last year by Swedes Jens Grede and Erik Torstensson (who are also behind The Saturday Group and Industrie Magazine). Without any press, they quickly garnered celebrity fans like Miranda Kerr and Amanda Seyfried–and now, Kloss–with perfectly-fit jeans that don’t sag. Their secret? “We really have invested in the fabric, which a lot of people forget,” Grede explains. “Everyone talks about fit, but half of the fit is using fantastic fabric.” The collaboration with Kloss came organically: Torstensson was dining with Kloss one night and when she complained about not being able to find jeans, they decided to collaborate on a long-legged pair. The brand, which only just launched in November, didn’t even wait for market testing before teaming up with the model. Kloss, no stranger to a good collab, is excited to launch her jeans. “I’m really lucky to have such talented friends that help me with all of my needs–jeans and cookies!–but all the things I’m a part of are things I’m genuinely passionate about and with people I really enjoy working with.” And since Frame is dedicated to perfect fit, they took a different approach to creating the lengthy jeans. Rather than simply extend their normal block (the form used to fit the jeans) as most denim companies do, Frame made an entirely new block with a 40 inch inseam–something no denim company has done before. “I have already gotten so many text messages from my [model] friends, like, ‘Karlie, my jeans better be in the mail!’” Kloss joked. But Kloss hopes these jeans won’t just end up on models. “We’re on a mission to help every girl find the perfect pair of jeans–for all the cold ankles, we will cover them!” Kloss said smiling. “We think that cold ankles are the source of everything that’s wrong with the world,” Grede added. “If we can stop that, we can create world peace.” Frame’s Forever Karlie jeans come in a skinny fit and a flare, and will be available through Net-a-Porter and Barneys New York starting June 1. source

Slowly returning back to work on a select few projects following the arrival of her daughter Mia one year ago, Russian model Sasha Pivovarova shared photos of her latest shoot, which appears to be an editorial for Vogue US, captured by photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Posting pictures to her Instagram account as the day progressed, Sasha took a snap as she headed to the shoot, showing the model in a black hat, no makeup and a dark outfit. She then took another photo as her makeup/hair was being prepared and lastly a photo with legendary photographer Demarchelier himself   source

COSTUME INSTITUTE: CHAOS TO COUTURE

Over the weekend, UK tabloid the Sunpublished photos of Cara Delevingnedropping a bag of “mysterious white powder.” Or, something that looks a lot like cocaine. According to the Sun, Delevingne dropped the baggie as she was trying to get into her house in London with a friend. The 20-year-old model was apparently trying to find her keys when the bag flew out of her purse. A photographer, who took pictures of the incident, explains: “She was trying to get inside her house. She said, ‘I’ve lost my keys guys, I’ve lost my keys’. She was really giggly. She found it hilarious but her friend was really edgy about it. Suddenly Cara dropped something and bent over to pick it up. Very discreetly, she just put her foot on it and then rolled her handbag across so it looked like she was just kind of bending over.” But it was too late: photogs had already snapped that fateful white bag–and now, some of the model-of-the-moment’s high-profile campaign and company affiliations could be in jeopardy. The Daily Mail is reporting that H&M is “investigating Miss Delevingne, whom it employed earlier this year as the face of its Divided clothing range.” The retailer has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy when it comes to drugs and famously dropped Kate Moss after her cocaine scandal. Another retailer who might be reevaluating their relationship with the model is Victoria’s Secret. Delevingne walked the lingerie show in 2012 as a PINK girl–but, if these photos pick up steam she might not be asked back in 2013. A Victoria’s Secret spokesperson had no comment on the matter. Part of the reason why Delevingne’s career might be in jeopardy is that, unlike Kate Moss, the 20-year-old model has been used by brands and magazines to market towards teens. Case in point: this month she covers Miss Vogue, Vogue UK’s answer to Teen Vogue. At the time of the cover release, Vogue UK EIC Alexandra Shulman described Delevingne as “Miss Vogue made physical” with a “maverick sense of style and fun.” Of course, this is only a photo in a tabloid–and nothing has been confirmed. We’ve reached out to H&M and Vogue UK and are waiting to hear back.   source

Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour turned many amused heads at last night’s Great Gatsby premiere, after they turned up wearing identical Prada fur coats.   The skirt-lover and occasional dress-wearer, 50, teamed the women’s coat from Prada’s spring/summer 2013 collection with jeans and sneakers, while Ms Wintour, 63, threw hers over an evening dress.   Teen Vogue’s editor in chief, Amy Astley, snapped a picture of the matching pair on Instagram, writing: ’New York’s finest #annawintour @marcjacobsintl wearing @prada #thegreatgatsby screening. #bestfashionmoment   The fur coat, inset with Andy Warhol’s Pop art daisies in white, ’embraces traditional tropes of femininity and womanhood,’ explained Style.com in its review of the collection. This isn’t the first time Mr Jacobs has invoked femininity and womanhood in his outfit choices.   The designer famously forewent pants at last year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, wearing a see-through black lace shirt-dress over glaringly white boxers, paired with pilgrim-buckle shoes from his fall 2012 collection.   He explained to model and red-carpet host for the evening, Elettra Wiedemann: ’I just didn’t want to wear a tuxedo and be boring.’ Paying tribute to Miuccia Prada on that very evening, the designer added: ‘I think Miuccia Prada is such a celebration of the unconventional…. [she] continues to be a hero of mine.’   Fashion friends for more than 25 years, it seemed both Ms Wintour and Mr Jacobs took the surprising double-up lightheartedly.    In Ms Astley’s images, the duo are seen smirking and enveloped in conversation.  ‘Great minds think alike. #annawintour @marcjacobsintl wearing @prada tonight #thegreatgatsby screening. Double good!’ she wrote. source

SPRING’s nail offerings featured an array of innovative textures and finishes, and Yves Saint Laurent looks set to keep the trend going for summer with its new tri-phase La Laque Couture Tie And Dye top coats. Rather than creating the tie-dye finish you might expect, the new top coats are designed to be shaken to mix the iridescent particles, colour and high-shine, transparent top coat for a candy-like veil finish. And then, after each use, the three phases in the bottle will return to their distinct layers - like a beauty chemistry experiment, if you will. Available from May 1 at Selfridges and Brown Thomas, in four shades priced at £18 each.   source
