Elle Brazil Cover - May 2012 

As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photoshoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress, but recently discovered that the body suit was Photoshopped out to give the impression that I am showing much more skin than I actually was or am comfortable with. This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction. I’m extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract were ignored. I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented.

Barbra Streisand - Model Inspiration. I posted my cover of Dazed & Confused a few days back and now I get to show you one of the editorial pictures! One of my personal icons has always been Barbra Streisand. Besides being an amazing performer, one thing that always stands out to me is how elegantly she holds her hands in pictures and on film (go, Google it for yourself!). She never forgets to pose her fingers and so whenever I model I always think “Barbra Streisand hands.” That’s my little modeling secret of the day.P.s. As added proof I adore Barbra, here is a video of me with photographer Nigel Barker, posing to “Don’t Rain On My Parade” a few months back.

VOGUE JAPAN? - This cover was sent to me last week and apparently it has been making the rounds in the blogosphere. Nice cover, right? Yeah, even I was confused. I have been on the cover of Vogue Japan a few times, but not with this image -  this picture is actually from a 2008 American Vogue editorial I did for the MET Ball. I must admit, it’s a very nice fake though! If you’d like to see my real Vogue Japan covers go HERE.

JPG + CRC.

James has created my new favorite behind-the-scenes film! Please enjoy watching the special Jean Paul Gaultier retrospective for Elle magazine I’ve been talking about allllll week. You’ll notice it turned into a night shoot as the clothes, sent from France, were stuck in customs almost the entire day. Still, we worked through the night to get the two cover shots and editorial done… in fact, if you pay close attention you’ll see one extra picture that never made it to print.

Like the song? Its our friend ALLIES.

The World of Jean Paul Gaultier.
Cover & editorial shoot honoring JPG by Nelson Simoneau.

When I heard that Canada was hosting the very first retrospective devoted to my dear friend Jean Paul Gaultier, I immediately jumped at the chance to be a part of the celebrations. Starting June 17th, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will display 35 years of outstanding work by Mr. Gaultier at The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. Over 120 haute couture dresses and ready-to-wear pieces made from 1976 to 2011 will be on display and I can tell you, they are all exquisite! A few months back I was fortunate enough to get to see some of these archive pieces up close and personal - in fact I wore them for a very special Jean Paul Gaultier editorial and cover featured in this month’s Elle Canada and Elle Quebec (James’ behind-the-scenes video coming soon)

I owe so many of my greatest moments to Jean Paul Gaultier and now I’m so proud to be part of a moment for him.
