The sensual side of Sasha
Is a reinvention is on the cards for Sasha Pivovarova?
It was about six years ago now that Sasha stepped onto the scene and into the shadow left by Gemma Ward. Or maybe it’s better put that at the time wide-eyed, unconventional beauty was trending a path paved largely by Gemma, and there, all of a sudden, was Sasha.
Let’s not forget that models have trend cycles, too.
And for models, as trends move, reinvention is required. A model can define an era with her hairstyle or with her figure shape or some other quality, just as an era defines them. Kate Moss went from natural beauty to pixie-cropped gamine to blonde sex bomb (along with innumerous other reinventions in-between) throughout her career. The phoenix survives the longest in the fashion world.
Karlie Kloss Gives a Tour of Her Bathroom Cabinet; Gwen Stefani and Natalie Portman Wore Buns This Weekend
MAKEUP
• Beauty blogger Into the Gloss got a tour of everything in Karlie Kloss’s bathroom, including the model’s mascara, toothpaste, vitamins, and Invisalign braces, which she wears to bed: “I just pop them in; I only wear them at night because I can’t talk when they’re in and it’s embarrassing. But I think they’re way better than braces. That’s pretty much the only beauty ‘service’ I get: going to my orthodontist in St. Louis.” [Into the Gloss]

Slideshow: Fashion’s Night Out: The Show
The Fashion’s Night Out fashion show, held this evening in Lincoln Center, certainly didn’t feel like New York City’s largest public fashion show. This was a wonderful thing: The event had all the efficiency, energy, and punctuality of a show put on by a group of people — those who work at Vogue — who probably feel like they’ve wasted way too much of their lives sitting at these things, waiting for them to start, waiting for them to finish, waiting for them to be interesting. Tonight’s show, which was meant to get the public excited for Fashion’s Night Out on Friday, September 10, started at the millisecond the clock turned 7:30 p.m., in accordance with Anna Wintour’s preachings and contrary to her fears. And contrary to the fears of many reporters who cover Fashion Week regularly and the crowds, cramped environs, and stressiness associated with them, FNO: The Show did not become FML: The Show.
The runway formed concentric circles around the fountain in the Lincoln Center Plaza, and, lined by rows of chairs only two rows deep, guaranteed everyone — who paid to be there, mind you — a pretty good look at almost everything. The only problem with the runway choreography was that, of the nine segments in the show, the opening and closing ones were the only groups that didn’t pass by any chairs except the ones lining the fountain. This left The Cut, sadly, with a poor view of opening model Gisele’s waist, and an even poorer view of closing model Naomi Campbell’s biceps. Some of the most famous models working today, like Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima, rounded out those sections, so this was a real shame, but maybe this was why some seats were more expensive than others.
The show began with some fancy spotlight action and a neat little water show courtesy of the plaza fountain, as Alicia Keys’s romantic rendition of “Empire State of Mind” played over the speakers. But if this show — all 171 looks of it — was going to be over quickly, the music would have to pick up. And it did after a few bars, when a red double-decker bus pulled up to the plaza on Broadway, a thumping version of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” came on, and the time to dilly-dally was clearly up. The models descended from the bus and vamped their way up the Lincoln Center stairs and onto the plaza, each wearing a Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt paired with a designer skirt and shoes. They whizzed by the fountain and into Lincoln Center, and before anyone could even process that “Holy shit, Gisele just modeled right in front of my face!” moment, the models from the next section showcasing fall 2010′s “Fifties Flair” trend were zooming by. Out came themed-model clump after themed-model clump, just a few paces separating each girl. They sped through Vogue-styled “Tartan Twist,” “Rock Chic,” and “Jazz-Age Cool” looks, each one designer, flawless, and gorgeous in person. It was like watching a live montage of John Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, and Carolina Herrera, among many other designers’ fall 2010 shows. Seeing those runway looks in person, for any fashion lover, is a real treat.
