Freja Beha Erichsen

Fashion Shows,Fashion Weeks
Freja Beha Erichsen is a Danish model and a Vogue cover girl. She is renowned for her youthful androgynous look. "What you see at first is this tough boyishness, but then comes something else, a sensitive, softer side," said Vogue photographer Josh Olins in the August issue of Vogue. "She's beautifully androgynous."

    The daughter of two lawyers, Freja was born October 18 1987 in Roskilde, Denmark, and has a brother seven years her senior. Freja has described herself as tomboy and admits that, as a child, she enjoyed climbing trees and mountain biking.By the time she was 12, Freja was already 5 foot nine and at 17 was discovered on a street in Copenhagen by a modelling agent who drove past her in a taxi. In 2004 she signed with IMG.
    She made her modelling debut in 2005 when she opened Miu Miu's autumn/winter show and has since walked for Louis Vuitton and Prada.
    Freja has 16 tattoos. These include the word "float" which is written on her neck, "serendipity is life" on the back of her right arm, "This Too Shall Pass" written on the inside of her upper right arm, "This World Tonight is Mine" written on her right wrist and "Redemption" written on her upper left forearm.
    By July 2010, she had featured in 19 fashion campaigns including Gucci, Pringle, Roberto Cavalli, Chloe and Calvin Klein. Her first was for Jil Sander in 2005.
    Within Freja's first year of modelling she made it onto the front cover of French Vogue, which, in 2008 named her in its list of Top 30 Models.
    Freja has had numerous accessories named after her - including the Freja Chloe clutch and the Alexander Wang stiletto boot.
    Erichsen posed naked for the spring/summer 2010 edition of Purple magazine, shot by famed photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, in a shoot that meant to challenge stereotypical ideals of feminine beauty.
    Aside from fashion, Freja is a talented musician and plays the drums, piano and guitar. She is a fan of rock 'n' roll and blues including Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
    Erichsen is based in New York but hopes to return to Denmark where she has recently bought a house.

Karl's New Girl

Fashion Shows
KARL LAGERFELD'S gang of favourite girls has a new addition: Carine Roitfeld. The former Vogue Paris editor, who is consulting with Barneys as guest editor for the forthcoming season, has also styled Chanel's autumn/winter 2011-12 campaign, starring Freja Beha Erichsen.

SEE FREJA ON MAY'S VOGUE COVER

"The mix with Freja was genius," Lagerfeld told WWD. "I like to work with the same girls and boys all the time."

As if to prove his point, Erichsen - a Chanel campaign regular - is not the only one making a return appearance in front of Lagerfeld's lens in the coming weeks. Anja Rubik - another Lagerfeld favourite - will next week front his Fendi campaign, and then Erichsen, Lady Amanda Harlech, Anna Mouglalis and Kristen McMenamy will appear in a film the designer is making to be shown alongside the Chanel cruise collection in Antibes on May 9. It will be shot in Monaco and other locations in the South of France.

Bridal Hairstyle Tips For Blushing Brides To Be!

My plan book is filled with what I am going to do and what I am going to say to the man who is standing at the altar waiting to put the ring of new life around my wedding finger, but there is one thing that I have failed to put down in my book. Its not that I have forgotten about it, it's just that everything I try out just does not seem right. If you are wondering what I am trying to express,. Its none other than my hairstyle.

It's supposed to be the best day of my life and everything has to go perfect, but I don't know why I can't come to a conclusion as to which hairstyle suits best for me, my mother was my rescue and came up with the perfect solution to make me look drop dead gorgeous!

So here I am, sharing with you my experience on my wedding day as well as some ideas for brides on hairstyles!

1.Hair stylists are expensive and if you want to look your best on your special day, then hiring one to do your bridal hairstyle is the best option. Make sure to opt for a style you are familiar with and do not try out any new hairstyle thinking it will suit you. This is the day in your life where you need to look your best and not the worst dressed for the evening.

2.Bridal hairstyles need to be dealt with proper care. If you are going in for perming and coloring of hair make sure that you do it 3 weeks in advance. Last minute changes can make you stress out so its better to take that step in getting prepared in advance. Do not opt for hair colors that will not suit the wedding gown you are going to wear.

3.One tip on bridal hairstyle to look beautiful for your special day is to add on hair accessories. Special bridal hair accessories are available in the market which isn't that expensive. Pearls and other precious birth stones is in trend, so try it out. Once the wedding veil is placed on the hair, the color of the stones will stand out enhancing your hairstyle.

4.Keep in mind that if you are wearing on a wedding gown with a deep neck, go in for bridal hairstyles which let your hair flow at the back( for long hair) or pin it up to the center with delicate clips and precious stones(medium length hair). For high neck lines, sport a perfect hair bun decorated with beautiful white and silver hair pins at the top.

5.If you have medium length hair and want to sport on a particular bridal hairstyle on your wedding day, purchase extensions! These hair extensions will add to the length of your hair helping you to create an extraordinary hairstyle to match your wedding gown.

Have a wonderful wedding day and look stunning in a perfect bridal hairstyle!
