The Glossy's Top Pick for 2010

Jacquelyn Jablonski gets The Glossy's Top Pick for 2010. Within the span of one season we saw her meteoric rise as she stomped down 52 runways, landed a few covers, racked up airmiles jetting to major editorials and landed in Wang's lookbook for Spring 2010. And the top pick goes to her cause I still want more... (Oh ya that - and her perfect eyebrows!)

Top Faces of 2009 (COACD edit)

Not that these top picks haven't independently garnered more column space than is healthy for any 20 year old - but they've now been immortalized by highly talented illustrator Jenny Mörtsell. COACD puts forth their top 25 faces of 2009. Of course such a list always encourages a certain amount of healthy debate... and with too many important faces to mention absent - and Amber Rose coming in at 16 - you can decide for yourself. To see all 25 go HERE!

True Colours

I like Vogue Russia for being the rebellious sister that has no fear of showing a heavily tattooed person in a fash-on context. Yes I get it - American Vogue clearly can't rock the puritanical boat that is corporate America - but what about other publications like Nylon etc? More tattoos please!

Rococo Rock

By far one of my favorite Ghesquiere for Balenciaga collections - Spring 06. Theme: Rococo Rock. Illuminated mannequin's emphasize the ethereal and somehow hauntingly perfect pieces. Shot by Nick Knight for Pop Magazine - collectors pieces? I think so.

Going Nomad

No fixed address, off-the-grid, under-the-radar. Love the sentiment of this Nippon Vogue Jan 2010 cover featuring Daria Werbowy. The loose, laid-back, vaguely bohemian vibe feels right for new beginnings in 2010 - mind you choosing Chloe Fall 09 pieces seems a tad strange?

Off-Piste

Holy shit. I don't think I've ever needed a holiday more. My last holiday was in July - and that feels a bit like a life-raft that drifted long ago. Since then I've been surviving on a self-medicating diet of wine, work-outs and wraps. Damn. 10 days and counting. A week of blissful snowboarding lies ahead. In all fairness, I just added these ridiculous French Vogue montages -- to show you what I won't be wearing. Think black Burton... it's Canada after-all, god-damn-it. Can't wait!

Camille Bidault-Waddington

Super-stylist, ex-wife of Jarvis Cocker. APC, Marc by Marc consultant. Purple Diary all-star. Favorite of Olivier Zahm and Natasha Ramsay? Maybe. Dull life - I think not. Cute wardrobe and personal style matra: 70's toujours. Finding her style refreshing after months of black La Lanphear look-a-likes. Maybe it's the Chloe boots that got me? Hmm.

The Big Chill - Elle Magazine Dec 2009

There's something quite compelling about piles of vaguely 70's styled knits at the beach. Canadian belle Kate Somers kicks up her heels in the sand for photographer Horst Diekgerdes. Styled by Camille Bidault-Waddington and infused by her personal style vocabulary - layering, 70's, warm colours mixed with cool. Feels kind of fresh!
