AD GLAM: Lara Stone for Calvin Klein Commercial [Video]

When I grow up, I want to be sexy like Lara Stone. She's so confident, sensual and uniquely beautiful it's no wonder Calvin Klein tapped her to be the exclusive face of their ads for the second season. They just have a knack for spotting what faces will be iconic (hello, Kate Moss, Zoe Saldana.)

In the commercial, Lara is sultry and glamorous, shown flying and driving to meet a tall, dark and handsome Calvin Klein man (Tyson Ballou), maybe for a secret rendezvous, and then, when they finally meet, the chemistry is explosive. Hot!

I especially love the part where he taps her lips. So funny that the same full lips I've had my whole life are considered seductive today. Now, everyone wants the Lara Stone pout, haha.

Check out the commercial, directed by Fabien Baron, and the equally steamy ads, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott below.

Fashion's Night Out PSA Featuring Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Lara Stone, Liya Kebede and More!

Fashion's Night Out 2010 PSA from Fashion's Night Out on Vimeo.


It's that time of year again!

To promote Fashion's biggest party, Anna Wintour gathered the top models in the business to run rampant through New York City streets and sidewalks for the event's PSA. Lovelovelove the shot of them in brilliant billowy skirts and Fashion's Night Out official tees.

Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Liya Kebede, Miranda Kerr, Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Donaldson and more were filmed at NY's hot spots like the Bronx Zoo and Lincoln Center by Peter Lindberg for the PSA---AND they played David Bowie's "Fashion" in the background, pretty cool right?

The gorgeous PSA will play in Times Square from September 3rd to the 10th, and the rest of the world (aka non-New Yorkers) can catch it on Network TV.

Check it out below: what do you think? I do wish my darling Sessilee Lopez and Arlenis Sosa were tapped for the festivities, but overall, it's a great video.

Model Lara Stone Is A Triple Threat

Could Lara Stone slowly be morphing into the new Kate Moss? Because she just signed a high dollar, triple, exclusive deal with Calvin Klein, Inc.

The 27-year-old Dutch native will be the new face of Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans for fall. (Above is an image of her from one of the new ads). This will mark the first time in eons that CK has chosen to use one model for all three of its brands. She began working with the fashion house in spring 2003.

"I have a long history with the Calvin Klein brand, and so it was wonderful to work with the house again this year," she told WWD. "It's like being part of a family."

Who knew that a gap in your teeth could be so lucrative?! I may not have the model figure, but I'm never closing up the tiny gap that I do have hahaha.

Prada Says Butts, Boobs and Hips are In for Fall

Forget Prada's sexy librarian trend. What's really hot this season are breasts, hips and butts...on the runway.


While high fashion has all but ignored a woman's natural curves, opting for the real-life mannequin look, Miuccia Prada has fully embraced our humps in her latest show---and it's about time.


Don't get excited. We're not talking about curves of the Brick House, 36-24-38 kind (sorry, Melissa Ford). But models like Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes, Catherine McNeil, Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio, and their relative hip, breast and derriere fat, are still a breath of fresh air on the catwalk. Rose Cordero, who covers the new issue of French Vogue, brought some much-needed color to the runway.


The collection, it seems, was structured for a voluptuous woman as well. The A-line skirts and dresses are perfect for women with hips and butt. The raised waists only further highlighted womanly, hourglass silhouettes. 


And the breasts. Ruffles and pointy bras enhance the chest area. While models everywhere are cringing, real women are ecstatic about what this means for the future of fashion. Miuccia Prada is a trendsetter and if all goes well, it's only a matter of time before more fashion brands follow suit. Check out the collection below:

Either Miuccia Prada has been hanging out with Beyonce, or the curves phenomenon (seen previously in the V Magazine Size Issue and Vogue Curvy) is really in full swing.


Regardless, I'm happy to see that a little bit of fat is in fashion. (I'm looking proudly at my shape in the mirror as I type this.)


What do you think of Prada putting curves on the runway? Do you think the "trend" will endure?
