Models Au Naturale

We have become so accustomed to seeing models in full hair and make up, contorting their bodies for photoshoots which in the end are more often than not digitally enhanced, that we forget that they too have their flaws. If like me you are one of the thousands of women who look in the mirror and fret over what is reflected, wishing certain features were smaller, bigger, sharper, rounder, more pronounced...whatever...whatever the 'perfect' unatainable beauty is that we alone see in our minds eye, then consider this post junk food for your vanity. Some of the industries finest walked for Louis Vuitton FW2010. Here they are sans makeup and hair.

Magda moment

Magdalena Frackowiak. The woman with square symetry. This face by all the rules of conventional beauty should not work. But it does. And how! Utterly gorgeous on second take, on first take impossibly captivating. I remember watching Fashion TV a few years ago, curled up on my sofa miserable at the rain for choosing to spoil my Sunday afternoon plans and...There she was on my screen. I was riveted as much by her face as her poise and natural ability to model. Those who are under the misguided notion that modelling is easy, well, you obviously have not tried it. Her body, her silhouette, her face, was made for this.
