One's To Watch: Amber and Saffron Le Bon

Lead man of iconic band Duran Duran and eighties heart Simon Le Bon and his supermodel wife Yasmin Le Bon's daughters, Amber and Saffron, have talked about following in their parents footsteps...... but in very different ways. 20-year-old Amber, who is already following in her mother's footsteps as a model, has recently said that her dream job is becoming a photographer.

"I know modelling is not a lifelong career," Amber Le Bon said "and because I so love taking pictures of people, I think my future is going to be as a photographer. While modelling I am learning a lot about the work on the other side of the camera. I am constantly getting practical experience, although I haven't studied it technically."

While Amber's 18-year-old sister Saffron, has said she is thinking about following in her father's footsteps as a musician.

"I am the most like Dad out of all three of us," Saffron Le Bon told The Daily Telegraph. "I am not interested in going to university. All I want to do is make music. I want to sing, either on my own or with a band, but I don't want to go to music college. I am not sure what type of music suits me, but I love classical and opera."

Madonna Replaced By A Younger Model

Queen of Pop Madonna has been replaced as the face of Louis Vuitton by a younger model and not just any model.... It's none other than David Walliams new girlfriend and supermodel of the moment Lara Stone.

The 51 year-old star is said to be furious as Lara was handpicked for the spring/ summer 2010 campaign by Madonna's good friend, designer Marc Jacobs.

Yesterday a spokesman for Louis Vuitton almost gave the impression that working with Madonna is considered high maintenance as the spokesman said: "After two seasons with such a huge star, Marc decided to take a breather and work with a model"



The singer who looks amazing for her age has fronted the last two LV campaigns, over the past two years, but maybe she has simply had her time? While 25 year-old Miss Stone who has recently been compared to a young Brigitte Bardott has got plenty years ahead of her.

Naomi Campbell's Search For The Next Top Model

British Supermodel Naomi Campbell is set to become the face of a new X Factor-style modelling show.

The proposed show which is set to hit our tv screens sometime next year would see Campbell taking on a group of budding young models, offering them advice and criticism and whittling them down to a winner.

A spokesperson for Campbell said "Naomi has been approached with an offer, which we are discussing, but nothing is set in stone yet."

The 39 year-old has taken part in more catwalk shows than almost any other model still working today, since hitting the catwalk in the late Eighties - and was famously the first black model to appear on the cover of British Vogue in December 1987.

A spokesperson also said "Naomi loves her job and adores modelling but she would like a new challenge and this would be the perfect opportunity for her to do so"

Flickr is a photo sharing site that I love and use frequently as a reliable image source. The reason I feel flickr is a reliable source is that real photographers have accounts on the site and upload their images daily while some accounts are owned by magazines etc and they upload the latest photo’s from premiere’s and other media events.
The image beside this is a great example of the large variety of images available on Flickr.

Stunning catwalk model Anja Rubik is the new face of Nentendo Wii Yoga. The 26 year old Polish-born model said "I've been practicing yoga for three years, It helps me relax mentally and focuses my mind. It can also do amazing things physically! it keeps me fit and helps my balance and focus. My job involves a lot of sitting on aeroplanes and a lot of walking in high heels! I find yoga helps with both."

Helena Christensen is Shameless

40 year old Danish Supermodel Helena Christensen, has stripped down for the new issue of Elle magazine, revealing that she loves her female shape and is not ashamed to show it. In an interview for Elle the model said "I'm proud to say I love breasts. I love the female shape, It’s crazy that you can have movie posters with men with machine guns but oh, God forbid you pose naked! That never ceases to amaze me. It’s flabbergasting."

Helena makes a very good point. She also went on to say "I can understand if you push yourself into the camera and pose certain ways – that’s sexually erotic. But the sensual contours in the male or female shape? Come on, guys, relax! So I have no problems with it ... But I’m Danish. Everyone’s naked on the beaches.... WE DON'T CARE!"
What we can't help but love about Helena is that her attitude towards fashion is "to hell with it!"

She told the magazine "I think you’ve gotta have a care less attitude about it. I gotta do what I feel like doing. If I feel like dressing ridiculous today, I will."

"I don’t care. I love seeing people on the street where I’m thinking, What’s going on there? OK, that is wrong on so many levels, but pretty cool at the same time!"

It should be a crime for someone to look so good at 40, but its pretty amazing, if her secret to looking absolutely amazing is "to hell with it" then maybe it should be everyone's line of thinking?
