Wha??? Abbey Lee Has Gone Platinum


The Hair Transitions of Abbey Lee: L-R Fall 2010 for Emilio Pucci; Fall 2010 for Chanel Couture; Spring 2011 for Rag & Bone

Ok, so we know they're all prone to doing it at some point ... the high fashion models ... and platinum blonde hair.  Agyness Deyn, Iekeline Stange and now little Abbey Lee Kershaw.  I say little not because of her stature or popularity, this girl rocks it! I say it because the dear is a mere 20 years old (yes, I know 33 or so in model years).  We've been following her here since she first broke out as a fresh-faced catwalk star Fall 2008.

Here's what fashionologie reports about Abbey's fun new look having spoken with the gorg one herself at Chanel's Soho store opening this past Thursday:

Abbey Lee Kershaw, who not long ago cut her hair short, has taken the change even further. "I was ready for a big change," she explained this evening at the Chanel Soho store opening in New York, where she debuted her newly-dyed platinum blonde hair. She plans to keep the color all season, "unless a designer asks for it to be changed." How's it been received so far? "I only dyed it two days ago, so no one's really seen it yet." She told Modelinia of the dye job: "It took seven hours and I didn’t speak for another four hours. I’ve never dyed my hair before. Also I think that with the cut that I’ve got, it was the time to go white.”

Lee is so beautiful she could shave her head bald and still garner beauty adoration!  On another note, Stay tuned, my loves, some Spring 2011 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week posts about to roll out!

MODEL UPDATE: Abbey Lee


designer: Gucci RTW Fall2008/photo: Don Ashby & Olivier Claisse

Catching up with Australian newcomer Abbey Lee

Lee was one of ten new models thought to be headed into the big time with fashion's darlings when we first featured her back in March 2008. She's completely lived up to that expectation. Topping the best of newcomer model lists for both Style and Elle, she's glided right through her freshman year on the catwalk. Modelling fashions for the likes of Gucci, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Lanvin and more (she walked an amazing 29 shows in New York), she seems to be writing her own ticket to the big leagues. Photogs are devouring her delicate features and baby-fresh face with their lenses landing her closeup shots on the backstage beauty and fashion detail pages more than many veteran model-beauties. She's also featured in editorial layouts for Vogue Numero, and W magazines. Fashion houses have certainly taken notice. Lee landed a much coveted exclusive with Gucci for their show in Milan.


Abbey Featured: Vogue for Express Jeans (w/Catherine McNeil); Numero; W Magazine; for Express (w/Chanel Iman); WWD; boho rhapsody

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2009



A garden venue of aqua and white was the stage for Oscar de la Renta's 2009 Resort showing in New York yesterday. There were many new faces strutting the catwalk (like "Chrissy" seen above), and one of our own favorite little darlings, Abbey Lee.
The collection indulged in shantung skirtsuits, slim shift dresses, high-waisted trousers and coordinating bags and shoes. You'll also see some stunning ball gowns, slim long halters, lots of ruffles, and hats looking like a throw-back to the Kentucky Derby.

DIOR Resort 2009



A little 1960's mixed with old-Hollywood glamour seemed to be themes for the 2009 Resort showing of Dior by John Galliano in New York yesterday. The collection is a mixture of pastels - corals, pinks, blues, greens with bejeweled detailing. Oh, and let's throw in a Mexican sombrero or two (or many) while we're at it. NOW - in addition to the fashions, beauty and styles, looks like a couple of those fresh new top models are strutting their stuff Dior-style - (can you hear the Jefferson's theme song "Movin on Up" sounding in the background?) ... woohoo!


Can you spot them?

RUNWAY MODELS: The Next Big Faces


We all have our favorites. The models that just seem to shine a little brighter than some of the others for us. For me, it's Agyness Deyn ... adorable yet wicked, classic yet edgy, black yet white (hair that is) ... thin yet, well thinner ... oh, you know what I mean.


Well, hold on to your hats, a new group of models is emerging. Hitting the runways for debut catwalks during New York Fashion Week, Casting Director Douglas Perrett believes these are the new beauties to watch in the future:
(click images to enlarge)


ABBEY LEE

Fresh from Australia, Abbey is an 18 year old (read: 30 in model speak), who Perrett says is going to have her choice of the best designers for which to model collections. Agency - Next

Fall 2008 BCBG Max Azria Collection





ALI STEPHENS

Utah raised Ali is the most buzzed about girl, says Perrett. He says she's only doing shows for the likes of Donna Karan, Rodarte, Calvin Klein, et al. with her really long legs they're all dying to get her for their collections. Agency - Elite

Fall 2008 Blumarine





ENIKO MIHALIK

Eighteen years old and hailing from Hungary, she's being compared to Daria. Perrett likes her wide-set eyes, flawless skin and perfect walk. Agency - Marilyn, Elite


Fall 2008 Benjamin Cho





GANTZ

Russian born and at the tender age of 15, Perrett thinks this new starlit will start out small but has lots of hype behind her already. Agency - 1 Model ManagementPicture of Gantz Gilles






HYUNI or HYONI (I've seen it spelled both ways)

Korean, Seung-Hyun Kang (she goes by Hyuni), winner of Ford's Supermodel of the World contest, has an amazing walk and can look so exotic. Agency - Ford

MALIN


Touted by Perrett as the next Hilary Rhoda, Malin is statuesque, has great shoulders, a severe jawbone, perfect he thinks for Calvin Klein or Oscar de la Renta. Agency - Marilyn

Fall 2008 Calvin Klein







NATALIE KEYSER


From Oregon, this 15 year old is just starting her run with the "big dogs" of fashion. Again, Perrett sees a Calvin Klein model in the making. Agency - Elite

PAUL


Already on Alexander Wang's radar, Perrett says Paul has an interesting face, boldly styled hair and a boy's name, which always captures attention. Agency - Trump

SKYE

Aussie and 16 years old, she's the new "baby" for model agency DNA. Expect to see her shows with a slightly younger vibe, says Perrett. She's the darling of the catwalk. Agency - DNA



Fall 2008 Hermes







TETYANA PISKUN

Perrett likes Tetyana's healthy and sophisticated look; says Perrett, "...she's just beautiful". Agency - Next
