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

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.
