Model of the Week; Eva Riccobono

Eva was born in 1983 in Palermo, the biggest city in Sicily. Her mother is from Germany, her father is Sicilian with Norman descent (like most people in that place). She has 3 older sisters and a brother who died when she was 4.

At 14, Eva was introduced to the fashion world by photographer Luca LoBosco. When she was only 17, the Italian magazine Corriere della Sera named her "the new Laetitia Casta" because her face (but not her body) is quite similar to Casta's. From that moment, she became one of the most important Italian fashion models and started travelling between Milan, New York, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Rome, Hamburg, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. She has appeared in magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Cosmopolitan. She has also posed for the Pirelli Calendar in 2003.

In 2002, she appeared on the TV program Stasera pago io with host Fiorello, who is also from Sicily.

In 2006, she caused a scandal when she said that "anorexia and alimentary disorders between young girls are because of fashion system" and "stylists are guilty of it" in an interview of the Italian magazine Grazia about the death of Ana Carolina Reston.

I love Marc Jacobs!

My trip this summer, was to Santa Barbara and San Francisco! When I went to SF, of course ,I had to visit the wonderful Marc Jacobs store! You saw so many people standing outside the store, and looking into the window, but not going into the store. You just wanted to give them a big smack on the cheek and tell them to get the heck in there! As I walked in, I could smell the fresh smell of newly made clothing. I didn't manage to get any ready-to-wear clothing or haute couture. Both of those things were just a tad over my price budget! I did manage to get a few accessories like a vintage looking necklace, a water bottle (for fun), compact mirror, and a purse. They have tons of great deals at that store! Personally, it was just an honor to be able to touch the clothing from there collections. When you visit San Francisco, Marc Jacobs is the place to shop!

Chanel fall/winter 2010 review

With glitz and glamour Karl Lagerfeld designed some of the most beautiful outfits ever! From the very first piece of clothing to the last, everything had some umph. 

Lots of the outfits had multi-colored bubble like dots. It reminded me of snow flakes. Not sure why!  What really made me look was hat all of he oufits had long trains behind the skirts. It made everything look a bit different/abstract. The hair on the models was brilliant. It reminded me of repunzel. The hats were ok, I thought thy looked silly. They didn't really go with the outfit, except that they were made of what looked the the same material as the clothing.The hats went over heir faces which was interesting. It made the collection have a little omething more to it. 

The shoes varied in height and shape. One model might be wearing an 1800 typed pair of heels, and one might be wearing a glamorous modern pair of golden heels. I thought it was cool that the collection didn't have just one pair of shoes that varied in color. The makeup made the outfits stand out a bit more. Mostly heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow. Really bought out the outfits true colors! The models walked in and out of a catwalk surrounded by giant chanel No.5 perfume bottles. What a classic idea! At the end of the show, two models, a man and a women walked out of the perfume bottle. A wedding was the main idea of that part. The dress that she was wearing was one of my favorite outfits of the collection! The dress was about knee length and was a creamy white color with a white train trailing behind it. The man had a plain suit. (What else is a man supposed to wear in an all girls fashion show?) 

Over all, the fashion show was beautiful! The music that was my favrite in the show was La Roux:In for the Kill. You should listen to this song, because it is great for the catwalk and is a great song. You can look at my video bar to watch the fashion show or go to chanel.com.
