Natalia Vodianova and Isabeli Fontana for Versace

Filed under: Runway Trends

Can it be? Have curvy bodies replaced the tiny frames currently dominating the runways and fashion editorials? Eh, not exactly. But Donatella Versace has enlisted two supermodel pros for her brand's fall ad campaign that are anything but waif-like child women.

Isabeli Fontana
, who was the face of Versace Crystal Noir parfum in 2004, and Natalia Vodianova will be appearing in Versace's window displays come fall -- replacing the vivacious Gisele Bundchen who is currently fronting the brand's campaign. The beautiful mothers shot the ads with famed fashion photographer Mario Testino on Wednesday.

Kudos to Donatella for embracing women over the age 14 and a size four two seasons in a row now. I know, I know. But we've got to start somewhere.

The rise of Suvi: Finnish model contest winner is now a Calvin Klein star

Filed under: Style in the News

The winners of America's Next Top Model don't always go on to fashion careers, but in other countries it is a bit different. Suvi Koponen was the first winner of Mallikoulu, otherwise known as Model School, a program similar to ANTM. Now the Finnish waif is set to replace Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova in the Fall 2007 Calvin Klein ads since Natalia is currently pregnant with her third child. The minimalist photos show a full look in color opposite a detail shot in black and white. The look is a bit zombie-like and slim Suvi seems a bit more stern than the more sensual and vulnerable Natalia.

The furry brow

Filed under: Runway Trends, Cosmetics

A few years have passed since we first started seeing thick eyebrows on the runway. It's a little unclear why this change from thin to thick took place. My guess is that it had a lot to do with the major ad campaigns favoring Russian models in their teens over Brazilian models in their early twenties. If you compare the brows of Gisele Bundchen to Natalia Vodianova, you'll see what I mean.

Slowly, this unkempt runway style has trickled its way into the mainstream. Now, more and more, women are throwing away their tweezers to let their brows grow wild.

If your brows haven't quite made it to the gold standard (i.e. Brooke Shields, circa 1982), there are number of a products out there to fatten up your skinny arches. Givenchy, Benefit, Laura Mercier and Shiseido all have great brow enhancers.
