Natalia Vodianova lands three spring campaigns
By Emma Sells Posted: Tue 24 Nov 2009

Rumours have been circulating for a while now that Natalia Vodianova has been lined up as the new face of YSL. Now we can reveal that not only are the rumours true, but that she has also landed two other major campaigns for next season.

It seems that the Russian beauty is quite in demand on the Spring 2010 ad campaign circuit. She is set to replace 1990's super Christy Turlington as the face of Yves Saint Laurent, and will apparently also star as the face of next season's Givenchy ads. Plus, she has been signed up by friend Stella McCartney to front the stylish British brand after she made her only catwalk appearance in September for the label.

And there's more. Natalia will continue to be the face of Guerlain, will model the much coveted lingerie that she designs for French favourite Etam and will also be the face of Calvin Klein fragrances".

"YSL follows Prada's lead and opts for a model rather than celeb to front its 2010 campaign
By Andrea Petrouon November 24, 2009

Yesterday we told you about Prada's way of standing out from the designer crowd by using a model instead of a celebrity and it seems other fashion houses have the same idea.

Paris designer YSL has today officially announced that Russian model Natalia Vodianova will be replacing (older) supermodel Christy Turlinton for its 2010 Spring range.

And that's not all. It seems Natalie is also destined to deal with Stella McCartney and could front the stylish British brand after she made her only catwalk appearance in September for the label.

With so many high profile jobs under her tiny belt this is one model to keep an eye on".

It’s all go in the Vodianova household as Natalia prepares to be the face of next season. Just how many major campaigns can one girl handle? Quite a few, apparently.

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE: Traffic came to a standstill on Boulevard Haussmann Thursday night as the newly refurbished Art Nouveau department store Printemps became the venue of a pyrotechnic show to inaugurate its Russian-themed Christmas displays.

Natalia Vodianova switched on the façade’s lights and then attended a cocktail party hosted by Printemps chief executive Paolo de Cesare.

'I have a fitting for my third Etam collection, and I am also shooting a campaign with Givenchy', she said, pointing at her navy blue trouser suit by Givenchy.

Natalia Vodianova a illuminé le boulevard Haussmann, hier à Paris.

Alors que Charlotte Gainsbourg donnera le coup d'envoi des illuminations de Noël sur les Champs-Elysées le 23 novembre prochain, c'est le top russe qui a eu les honneurs des grands magasins.

Le groupe Printemps l'a choisie pour inaugurer son "Noël Slave" et a organisé un show grandiose à 19h30, mêlant les feux d'artifices, la musique, et les fabuleuses animations des façades tout juste restaurées.

Et pour l'occasion, Natalia, présidente de l'association Naked Heart, qui vient en aide aux enfants russes, a fait le déplacement dans sa tenue la plus chic : un ensemble noir réhaussé d'une veste ceinturée. Venue sans son mari Justin Portman ni ses adorables enfants Lucas 7 ans, Neva 3 ans et Viktor 2 ans, Natalia Vodianova a fait sensation.

Après avoir retrouvé les podiums et quelques semaines seulement après avoir lancé sa deuxième collection de lingerie pour la marque Etam, le top de 27 ans a cette fois choisi d'allier la beauté du spectacle à une noble cause.

En faisant connaître son association, elle espère ainsi récolter des fonds pour oeuvrer dans son pays natal. Le PDG de Printemps, Paolo De Cesar, était fier de cette belle opération et nul doute que Natalia a dû rallier de nombreuses personnes à sa cause.

Un beau cadeau à quelques semaines des fêtes de fin d'année".

"Natalia Vodianova Campaign Chatter

With two days off, the weekends are prime time for gossip to begin. So when Monday morning rolls around, everyone’s itching to discuss mounting rumors, and today’s just as chatty as any other: The Imagist is reporting that Natalia Vodianova’s set to star in a Spring 2010 campaign for a blue chip brand.

Of course we’re pondering just like everyone else. One more hint alludes that she’ll be posing alongside one of her good friends…another icon.

Already Louis Vuitton is out since Lara Stone has been named the face of that campaign, Karlie Kloss wil model for Dior, Chanel chose Claudia Schiffer and Freja Beha Erichsen, while Dolce & Gabbana reportedly scooped up Madonna. It’s not Versace, since new darling Georgia May Jagger was just confirmed.

During the Spring shows, Natalia only walked for Stella McCartney, but she’s already confirmed for the Yves Saint Laurent campaign. So just which other campaign will she be adding to the list this season?

"Natalia Vodianova y Naomi Campbell arropan a una emocionada Diane von Furstenberg en un día muy especial

Nov 2 2009

La diseñadora belga, acompañada de ambas modelos, inauguró una exposición retrospectiva sobre su carrera en el Manezh Exhibition Hall de Moscú

Como acto dentro de la 15º aniversario de la Semana Volvo de la Moda de Moscú, la diseñadora Diane von Furstenberg se ha lanzado a la conquista de Rusia. En concreto, la presidenta del CFDA ha inaugurado en el emblemático Manezh Exhibition Hall de la capital rusa una exposición retrospectiva –podrá visitarse hasta el próximo 21 de noviembre- en la que se puede conocer más de cerca su trayectoria, así como ver de cerca algunas de sus piezas personales de arte.

Emocionada, Diane von Furstenberg fue la estrella de esta inauguración, como era de esperar. Sin embargo, no estaba sola. Junto a ella, una de las modelos rusas más emblemáticas, Natalia Vodianova, y la actualmente onmipresente Naomi Campbell. Ambas compartieron sus impresiones con la diseñadora y quedaron entusiasmadas con la exhibición, tanto que la ‘top’ británica se lanzó con móvil en mano para tomar algunas instantáneas de las obras expuestas".

Blasblog: The Caviar Countdown To DVF’s Russian Bash
October 30, 2009 2:01 pm

I won’t lie: The notion of giving up Mariah Carey and the beaches of Rio, where I was for Fashion Rocks earlier this week, for the subzero temperatures of Moscow was a hard one to swallow. But not long after arriving here for the events surrounding Diane von Furstenberg’s exhibition opening, I found some things that really helped it go down: vodka and black caviar. DVF’s festivities in the Russian capital began last night with a cocktail party in her store on Kuzneckiy Most Street, followed by a dinner at the decadent and quintessentially Russian Pushkin Café hosted by Moscow’s reigning retail queen, Landau Fashion Group’s Aizel Trudel.

Tonight sees the opening of the two-part DVF retrospective—a series of dresses designed by von Furstenberg, and a selection of art she has commissioned—but at dinner, the ladies got a chance to relax and blow off steam. (There had been some stress in the preparations: Apparently getting art into the country is as hard as sneaking Soviet relics out.) But everyone was in a good mood after a few buckets of the good stuff. Von Furstenberg told a story about an enthusiastic masseur who announced, 'I like to give pleasure' —only in regard to his massage prowess, surely, but she stayed on her iPhone for much of the session, just in case.

Husband Barry Diller, meanwhile, revealed that he’s a big deal in Russia because he has a nice boat, which he explained wasn’t a bad reason, all things considered. (Others are notorious in the country for far worse.) In fact, the only scary point for the guest of honor was when Trudel announced the guest list for tonight’s event: 6,000 are confirmed. 'That many people are coming to see pictures of me?' von Furstenberg blushed. Today I bumped into three familiar faces—Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova (who was literally swarmed on the street), and Kate Bosworth—who will be among them. Check back on Monday for my report on the remaining 5,997.

"DVF Takes Moscow
by Miriam Elder

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009

From WWD Issue 11/03/2009

MOSCOW — Diane von Furstenberg looked visibly harried as she rushed to save a precious Andy Warhol portrait of her hanging on the walls of Moscow’s Manezh exhibition hall.

'Do something! People are just leaning on the art', she shouted to an aide.

The halls of Manezh, located just outside the Kremlin’s walls, were packed with some 800 friends and fans as von Furstenberg hosted a party to celebrate the opening of her retrospective here, titled 'Journey of a Dress'.

'It’s actually very exciting, very emotional', said von Furstenberg. 'My father left Russia 80 years ago and here I am, in a museum. It’s really dedicated to my dad'.

The story of the 63-year-old designer’s career is told through paintings by Andy Warhol and photographs by Helmut Newton. These hang next to blown-up magazine covers and articles from Interview and New York magazine, as von Furstenberg first exploded on to the scene in the Seventies.

Particularly stunning are works by photographer Ara Gallant, featuring von Furstenberg in a denim jumpsuit and bright red boots wrapped around the top of the Empire State Building, and a portrait of the designer with wet hair and her trademark large eyes.

'She is so powerful, and the light is shining from her', said Natalia Vodianova, who gave von Furstenberg the idea to mount the exhibit. 'I said, ‘Why don’t you do a retrospective of your work, of your life — I’m sure the Russian people will be truly inspired.’ She said, ‘That’s a great idea,’ and here we are. Finally'.

Each room of the exhibit, cobbled together in just over a month and curated by Vogue’s André Leon Talley, features mannequins wearing von Furstenberg’s signature wrap dress. They are divided into categories such as Working Girl and Studio 54.

Naomi Campbell wandered the exhibit on the arm of her Russian boyfriend, real estate mogul Vladislav Doronin, and Russian socialite Ksenia Sobchak. 'It’s amazing, it’s very colorful', Campbell said. 'Diane has lived such an amazing life'.

Russian oligarch Alexander Lebedev and Vogue Russia editor in chief Aliona Doletskaya were among the others in attendance. After the opening, von Furstenberg hosted 70 guests at the Bolshoi restaurant, run by Moscow’s top restaurateur Arkady Novikov. They then danced long into the night at new club We Are Family.

Campbell, who now spends most of her time in Moscow, said she saw the exhibit as a sign of the Russian city’s growing importance. 'I’m happy to meet my friends in the city that I live in', she said.

Von Furstenberg has hinted the exhibit will travel, but didn’t reveal specific plans."

Russian doctors refused to treat Anya called her 'hopeless'. Natalia Vodianova, who was born in Russia, Nizhniy Novgorod, found out about girl’s problems and decided to help her. The supermodel is sure that British doctors may help the little Russian. But the baby’s family is rather poor, SiteUa informs.

Natalia Vodianova has communicated with Anya’s parents, who live in a small settlement near Ekaterinburg in the Urals. She told them that she would pay for Anya’s moving abroad and for her operation. The Russian beauty had already consulted with English children’s doctors who promised to do everything possible to save the girl’s life.

At present time the girl is being prepared to be moved to England".
