Supermodel next generation: Crawford daughter fronts Young Versace

AFP Relax News – Mon, Jan 23, 2012

Following on from the launch of Young Versace's first store in Milan last month, the brand has unveiled its new advertising campaign with supermodel Cindy Crawford's 10-year-old daughter Kaia Gerber as the face.

Modeling designs adorned with the label's iconic Greek key motif, Gerber was shot by acclaimed fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who have previously worked on campaigns for the likes of Gucci and Givenchy.

According to the fashion house's creative director Donatella Versace, Gerber proved she has inherited her famous mother's talent when modeling the collection, which is aimed at youngsters aged 0-12.

"Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift," she explained in a release. "The camera really, really loves her.

"Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother's footsteps!"

Gerber, who is Crawford's daughter with former model Rande Gerber, is the latest in a recent spate of youngsters emerging as fashion's next generation.

Earlier this month designer Meg Matthews tweeted a photograph of her and British rocker Noel Gallagher's 11-year-old daughter Anais captured by Mario Testino. London-based Anais is signed with Select Model Management, and has already modeled for Paul Smith Junior. See her in the label's Autumn/Winter 2010 campaign here.

Other emerging faces for the future include Kate Moss's half-sister Lottie, who caught the world's attention as one of the bridesmaids at the supermodel's wedding back in July. The 13-year-old has already posed for her family's vintage clothing shop and has been captured by fashion photographer Andrea Carter-Bowman.

Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Haircut Trends

For fall/winter 2010-2011, long hair becomes longer, while short means super short. When it comes to hair color, drastic changes are the key words. You should whether stick to your natural color or go to the extremes and choose something totally different from your natural color.

Super short

Very short hair, “à la garçonne” style is the ideal hairstyle for fall/winter 2010-2011 specially created for bold women. This year, androgynous, very short hairstyles can be applied even on curly hair and they look stunning if you have a blonde hair color. Very short hairstyles are very versatile.

Today you can adopt a playful look, tomorrow you can be a strong business woman, and in the evening you can play the passionate and sexy woman. All you need is imagination and self-confidence. Besides, this is a very flattering hairstyle, enhancing the beauty of your face. If you are more daring, go for a punk inspired hairstyle and a platinum blonde hair color.




Bob




The layered short bob is the ultimate trend for fall/winter 2010-2011, but make sure it has a studied messiness. If you don't dare to cut your hair into a short bob, you can still be trendy choosing the longer version. You add layers throughout the hairstyle and you may even go for long bangs.

Bobs are easy to style, are very practical and work great for every face shape. They can be elegant for the office or sexy and glamorous for a date, while they can still look effortless during the day.




Medium-length hair

Medium-length seems to be the safest option when it comes to hairstyles. They are easier to maintain than longer hairstyles and more versatile than short ones. For fall/winter 2010-2011 we opt for medium-length hairstyles with a side parting for a glamorous and ultra feminine look that will allow you to play with different styles from natural during the day and soft curls for an evening event. You can also choose to add some stylish, long side-swept bangs that will enhance the beauty of your eyes. For a retro, feminine look, wavy medium-length hair works well.

Long hair



This year's trend means long, very long natural hair, whether you have it curly or straight. Forget about all harmful styling tools. You can adopt a layered hairstyle with bangs, or if you don't want bangs, you should know that the middle parting is totally hot especially on an effortless look. For those of you who have a square face, long hair should be shoulder blade length without layers and definitely not thinned out.
