Model Diaries: Mirte Maas Rides Her Motorbike to Alexander McQueen
After she walked for Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, and Michael Kors in New York, we armed top model Mirte Maas with a digicam before she jetted off to Europe. The footage we got in return was chock full of appearances from Liu Wen and Caroline Brasch Nielsen, among others. Watch Mirte goof off with Julia Nobis and pose for pictures with fellow Dutchies Lisanne de Jong and Patricia van der Vliet. The brave soul even dared to film during a runway run-through at Chanel. And what's Mirte's mode of transportation between the Valentino and Alexander McQueen shows? Riding her badass motorbike, of course!

Veruschka von Lehndorff Is London’s Top Model
From New York Magazine:
London's runways are typically a launch pad for newbies. In seasons past, Kirsi Pyrhonen, Julia Nobis, and Tati Cotliar all made their catwalk breakthrough via the Big Smoke's innovative shows. This season proved to be another story.
New Jersey's Kirby Kenny had a strong showing, opening for Erdem and House of Holland and closing for Sass & Bide. Runway fixture Lisanne de Jong hit it big this week when she opened for Burberry, while Burberry Beauty face Nina Porter closed out the show in the most memorable way possible. Good ol' Aggy opened for Giles, but it was the show's closer, the legendary 71-year-old Veruschka von Lehndorff, who takes the crown. Giles Deacon has a habit of dragging out some of fashion's most iconic faces for his shows, but booking Veruschka was easily his most impressive casting coup to date.

NAAG - Agyness Deyn & Fiona Byrne's magazine now online
NAAG is now online at: naag.com:

From New York Magazine on 2/13/10 at 3:30 PM:
Naag.com is a lifestyle web magazine that Deyn is starting with her best friend Fiona Byrne, a former editor at NME.com and contributor to New York, Nylon, and other publications. The name is a combination of the last two letters of Byrne's first name and the first two of Deyn's. Deyn explained that the site is meant to be a magazine that just happens to be online, and that she just happens to be involved with: "It's not AgynessDeyn.com." Deyn will act as creative director and Byrne as editor-in-chief. They plan on original video and photo shoots featuring Deyn, as well as articles on fashion, beauty, travel, and culture written by their journalist friends.
"It's places that we go, things that we buy, products that we use," Byrne explained. "We're writing it for our peers, and we hope people who hang out with us in New York and London will find new stuff to be obsessed with. But we also want girls in Ohio to be able to go on and find stuff, too. The fashion, for example, will be aspirational, but accessible. You will be able to buy this stuff, hopefully, where you are." As Deyn put it, "It's just going to be stuff we think is rad." In terms of tone, Byrne said, "I miss the attitude of Jane. It was funny and it was intimate. You felt like you knew the writers. It was cool, but it wasn't just downtown New York."
As they move through this Fashion Week, Deyn and Byrne are gathering content for the site. There may be trips to Paris and Milan in the future, and they're hoping for a launch sometime in April or May. If their plans sound a bit loose, it's because they just managed to buy their domain name and set up a business plan; Deyn is the sole investor. "I just know that if I hadn't had my brother telling me, 'You've got to listen to Stone Roses, they're awesome!'" Deyn concluded, "I'd probably be listening to dance music. I'd like to help people get exposed to things in the same way, and then let them decide for themselves."

Haven
I started Haven a few years ago just for fun. My posts are about whatever I'm thinking about or want to share. Sisterlocks, popular culture, my experiences with Hurricane Katrina...it could be anything. Please visit my blog at: http://reneahenry.blogspot.com/
