Model Lily Donaldson – A Collection Of Fashion Runway Shows With Supermodel Lily Donaldson

Lily Monica Donaldson is a British model. Lily Donaldson was born in London, and educated at the Camden School for Girls living in Kentish Town with her parents. Since being scouted at the age of 16 while shopping in Camden, Lily Donaldson has landed campaigns for fashion houses such as Dior, Jil Sander, and Dolce & Gabbana, and is the face of British luxury goods house Burberry.

In the May 2007 issue of American Vogue, she was featured on the cover with fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Jessica Stam as the new crop of supermodels. Later, in the September 2007 issue of British Vogue she was named a “Head Girl”, a model to watch out for in the upcoming season. In 2008 a top casting agent who is responsible for selecting which models are to score a spot on top runways, says in regards to Lily Donaldson:

“One of the most expensive looking girls, yet a frail beauty at the same time. Beautiful skin, baby eyes, and pouty lips. A real English rose, but there’s a sexpot underneath all of that waiting to be unleashed. She’s also more guarded than the other girls, which throws people off, but it makes me super gushy and nervous like a schoolboy. I could totally see her married to a rock star!”

Lily Donaldson has appeared on the covers of Vogue for Britain, Italy, China, and Australia. In particular, she was on the March 2009 covers of Vogue simultaneously in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Italy. She also appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2010. In 2009, French Vogue declared her one of the top 30 models from the years 2000 to 2009. Lily Donaldson is also the face of the new Monsoon Accessorize campaign for Spring Summer 2011. Lily is close friends with model Gemma Ward which we featured several weeks ago in a related article.

Paris Haute Couture Review Spring Summer 2011 With Many Of The World’s Most Beautiful Models From The World’s Most Prestigious Modeling Agencies

A review of all the romantic, enchanting, fabulous creations of the Spring / Summer 2011 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Haute couture (French for “high sewing” or “high dressmaking”) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time consuming, hand executed techniques. Couture is a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit.

In modern France, haute couture is a “protected name” that can be used only by firms that meet certain well defined standards. However, the term is also used loosely to describe all high fashion custom fitted clothing, whether it is produced in Paris or in other fashion capitals such as Milan, London, New York, Sao Paulo, and Tokyo.

Many top designer fashion houses, such as Chanel, use the word “Haute Couture” for some of their special collections. These collections are often not for sale or they are very difficult to purchase.

In 2001, Michael Kors launched accessories under his collection LABEL. Today, the line includes a full range of women’s handbags, shoes, belts, and eyewear. Michael Kors left Celine in October 2003 to concentrate on his own brand. Michael Kors launched his mens wear line in 2002.

In addition to the Michael Kors runway collection, the MICHAEL Michael Kors and KORS Michael Kors lines were launched in 2004. KORS is considered the mid-tier line, between the runway and MICHAEL collections. The MICHAEL line includes women’s handbags and shoes as well as women’s ready-to-wear apparel. The KORS line contains footwear and Jeans. Currently, Kors has full collection boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Chicago, London, and Milan.

How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Model And How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Angel

































Please note that this is only a summary article for beginning models. Please feel free to visit the advanced “How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Model And How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Angel” article if you would like to view behind the scenes Victoria’s Secret modeling auditions and Victoria’s Secret casting calls:

http://fashion.zarzarmodels.com/how-to-become-a-victorias-secret-model-how-to-become-a-victorias-secret-angel-becoming-a-victorias-secret-model-becoming-a-victorias-secret-angel-victorias-secret-auditions-casting-calls/

How to become a Victoria’s Secret model is probably one of the most asked questions that ZARZAR MODELING AGENCY also known as ZARZAR MODELS throughout the world receives from potential new models as well as from established models with years of modeling experience in fashion modeling capitals such as New York, London, Paris, and Milan.





How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Model And How To Become A Victoria’s Secret Angel

This article will help explain the long journey that is involved for women that would like to become Victoria’s Secret models and Victoria’s Secret Angels.

The first step in becoming a Victoria’s Secret model is to join a modeling agency, a very prestigious modeling agency. You need very prestigious modeling agencies simply because Victoria’s Secret likes to work with the best modeling agencies and the best models (experienced professional models that have a very developed portfolio and most likely have modeled throughout the world thanks to their modeling agency). In other words, you can’t simply walk in to the Victoria’s Secret offices and announce yourself to them and expect them to sign you on the spot. You need to find a modeling agency and let the professionals from your modeling agency do the work for you.

The Importance Of Modeling Agencies In Los Angeles And New York

If you live on the West Coast (Western United States) you will need a top modeling agency that is among the largest and most prestigious modeling agencies in the United States. Otherwise, you might be at a disadvantage versus women that are based in New York, one of the fashion capitals of the world. The reason for this is that Victoria’s Secret recruits heavily from New York modeling agencies, and not just any modeling agencies, but the largest and most prestigious female modeling agencies in New York.

Victoria’s Secret models are among the most recognized and highly paid models in the world. In order to become a Victoria’s Secret model you will need an almost perfect body (or a perfect body) as well a very successful high fashion modeling portfolio. You will need an agent that will guide you throughout your modeling career which will be assigned to you once you are invited to join a modeling agency. Your mother agency will then place you with other prestigious modeling agencies if you are outside New York or in other countries so that they may fly you from your home town in order to place you with Victoria’s Secret.



















What Are The Minimum Requirements In Order To Become A Victoria’s Secret Model?

The minimum requirements in order to become a Victoria’s Secret model or a Victoria’s Secret Angel are an almost perfect body (or a perfect body if you have one) along with a minimum height of 5 feet 8 inches. You will also need your breasts to have a minimum cup size of “C” along with stats that are very close to 34 bust, 24 waist, and 34 hips. There are other requirements and stats involved, but these are the minimum physical requirements that a model will generally need to have in order to become a Victoria’s Secret model.







































I Have The Perfect Body And A Beautiful Face So Why Am I Not A Victoria’s Secret Model?

Once you have the perfect agent, the perfect modeling agencies (most supermodels have multiple modeling agencies for total global representation, as well as a mother agency that handles the exclusive contracts with the other modeling agencies for different countries, territories, and jurisdictions), and the perfect body and face, you will need the perfect personality. Think about it, as a Victoria’s Secret model you will probably earn millions of United States dollars and will represent the brand throughout the world. They will want to make sure that you don’t blow it and cause more harm than good promoting their superpower brand. Think of yourself as brand ambassador for the Victoria’s Secret brand, a brand worth billions of United States dollars.









































How Do I Become A Victoria’s Secret Angel?

It is the sexiness and sultriness that a model is able to project along with that perfect personality on top of that perfectly sculpted body that is the answer to an aspiring model’s question on how to become a Victoria’s Secret model. Becoming a Victoria’s Secret model is one of the most competitive and challenging conquests in the entire modeling world. Any aspiring model that would like to become a Victoria’s Secret model or a Victoria’s Secret Angel should be prepared to handle the physical scrutiny and the rejection that could come from auditioning to become a Victoria’s Secret model and grace the pages of their lingerie catalogues along with being a part of their sexy television commercials and fashion runway shows.

Victoria’s Secret works with many of the world’s most beautiful supermodels that wear and model their lingerie garments for their bikini and lingerie catalogs, lingerie and bikini television commercials, swimwear and lingerie print ads, lingerie runway fashion shows, and those sexy lingerie billboards seen up above on those skyscrapers worth billions of dollars. Almost every model dreams of gracing the pages or ads of Victoria’s Secret and of walking their fashion runway shows which are seen by millions of people from all over the world. If you dream of becoming a Victoria’s Secret model then your first step is to make sure that you are represented by the world’s largest and most prestigious modeling agencies, the superpowers of the modeling world. If you are already represented by such a modeling agency, and have all of the minimum requirements mentioned in this article then congratulations as you just might be the next lucky woman that becomes the next Victoria’s Secret modeling superstar!





How Much Do Victoria’s Secret Models Weigh?

Most models represented by top national and international modeling agencies weigh less than 135 pounds. However, even though that might seem like a lot to some women it is important to keep in mind that many of these models and supermodels are 5 feet 10 inches tall or taller. The most important thing is that the model look healthy and be healthy.





How Much Do Victoria’s Secret Models Make Or Earn?

The question of how much money Victoria’s Secret Angels and Victoria’s Secret models earn or make is also one of the most asked questions by current and potential new models. This and similar topics regarding how much money models make or earn per year is beyond the scope of this article and is covered in detail in other ZARZAR MODELS articles for our millions of fans and readers to enjoy.





How Do I Become A ZARZAR MODEL Or A ZARZAR SUPERMODEL?

The question of how to become a ZARZAR MODEL or a ZARZAR SUPERMODEL is also one of the most asked questions by potential new models trying to join and become a part of the agency. This and similar topics regarding how to become a ZARZAR MODEL or a ZARZAR SUPERMODEL is beyond the scope of this article and is covered in detail in other ZARZAR MODELS articles as well as in the main ZARZAR MODELING AGENCY’S websites based on the country or territory of interest as the agency represents over 100 female models throughout the world, many of which are placed at the international level with our partner modeling agencies.

First Face Models Countdown Review Featuring Australian Supermodel Gemma Ward

The Perth-born model was the youngest-ever to grace the cover of American Vogue.

Before She Was Famous:

Gemma Ward was the second child and her father is a doctor and her mother a nurse. She has younger twin brothers and an older sister who is also a model. Gemma Ward was educated at Perth’s Presbyterian Ladies’ College and Shenton College. As said herself in a Teen Vogue interview, she accompanied her friends to a modeling competition and ended up being scouted herself:

“I had come straight from my auntie and uncle’s farm, and I was wearing this big gray barn jacket with mud all over it. When the scout came up to me, I said, No, thank you. They forged my mom’s signature (for mandatory parental consent) and pushed me in front of the cameras.”



She was discovered in 2002, while accompanying her friends to the Aussie modeling competition “Search for a Supermodel“. Gemma recalls, “I came to watch my friends. I was sitting there in the crowd when the agent from Perth came over. I didn’t even want to enter. It was a bit of chance. I was so shocked when I got my first job” Gemma later told Teen Vogue, “I had come straight from my auntie and uncle’s farm, and I was wearing this big gray barn jacket with mud all over it. When the scout came up to me, I said, No, thank you. But my friends were like, Hell, yes! They forged my mom’s signature and pushed me in front of the cameras”.

The teenager didn’t win the competition, but with her fragile, unique look, two modeling agencies soon came calling.

Even though Gemma Ward didn’t win the competition, a top Australian modeling agency picked her up after seeing a small picture of her in Kurv, an Australian-produced arts, culture and fashion magazine. Soon she was signed by that Australian modeling agency, and two other international modeling agencies later came in to the scene in addition to her original Australian modeling agency in order to give her further global representation.

Career Highlights

At the age of 15, Gemma Ward was already well known in the Australian fashion industry and at 16 years of age, she was the youngest model to be listed by American Vogue as one of the nine “It Girls” in the modeling world. In September 2004, Gemma Ward became the youngest fashion model to grace the cover of United States Vogue, and the first model to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue. Top fashion magazines such as Harper’s BAZAAR, W Magazine, and Pop all regularly featured Gemma. She has also modeled for an enviable list of fashion houses, including Balenciaga, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Prada, Valentino, Christian Dior, Hermes, Swarovski, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Yves Saint Laurent. Altogether, Gemma Ward has appeared on 30 covers of Vogue Magazine worldwide.

Modeling

Her look inspired a new generation of baby doll-like models and in Allure Magazine (October 2006), Gemma Ward is described as “the model of the moment”. Allure’s creative director Paul Cavaco stated: “We went through a period that was very va-va-voom, but now the pendulum has swung back. Gemma is ethereal, not earthy”. Photographer Michael Thompson says, “She’s an exotic blonde, the rarest of creatures”. Gemma Ward appeared on the cover of the first issue of Vogue India, photographed by photographer Patrick Demarchelier. This is the second time Gemma Ward has appeared on an inaugural issue – the first time being the first ever cover of Vogue China in 2005.

In July 2007, earning at an estimated total of $3 million in the previous 12 months, Forbes Magazine named her 10th in the list of the World’s 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.

Vogue Paris declared her one of the top 30 models of the 2000s.

Gemma has worked with the industries most renowned photographers including Mario Sorrenti, Phil Poynter, Mikael Jansson, Nathaniel Goldberg, David Sims and Steven Meisel.

Gemma Ward has also fulfilled her childhood passion for acting by starring in three films. Her debut in 2001 was the Aussie coming-of-age drama Pink Pyjamas. More recently, Gemma starred alongside Toni Collette and Rhys Wakefield in the award winning film The Black Balloon. The film had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany in February 2008, where it won a Crystal Bear award. Later that year, she appeared with Liv Tyler in the suspense thriller The Strangers. John Mayer has also featured the young beauty in his music video for the single Daughters.

Retirement Claims

In August 2008, reports surfaced that Ward was to retire from modeling to pursue acting. However, reports were quickly dismissed by Ward herself saying: “I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I’m only 20, for God’s sakes”.


In the summer of 2011 Gemma Ward will be playing the part in “Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” as Tamara, Queen of the Mermaids, and meet Jack Sparrow during his search for the elusive Fountain of Youth.
