Gisele Bundchen Gets Androgynous For Balenciaga's Spring 2011

Well-paced with a prominent showing of creamy hues and white, Alexis Mabille sets in motion a collection of ethereal ambitions. Sharply dressed, Mabille man enjoys a walk in the clouds with impeccably fitted jumpsuits, slouchy knits and an impressive range of oversize outerwear. Distinct yet at the same time understated, Mabille skillfully pieces together a genuinely soft collection executed in a precise fashion that allows room for the practical as well as a fashion-forward delivery.

  

In September Gisele Bündchen made a surprise appearance on the runway at the Balenciaga show in Paris... now the Brazilian bombshell is starring in the 2011 spring/summer ad campaign for the French fashion house.

Here's an early look at Gisele working the boyish/punk spirit of Nicolas Ghesquière latest collection.

The ads were shot by Steven Meisel and also star male model named Yuri Pleskun wearing ghoulish makeup and little else. 

Images that make a mess or maybe, conversely, bring harmony, combining the conflicting voices being. So the new editor of Vogue Turkey back with elegant and sophisticated arrogance androgyny. An elegant androgyny that sees our protagonists, Andrej Pejic and Jana K, show clothes Prada, Lanvin , and others. Quite naturally a romantic and melancholic black and white signed Matthew Brookes.

 
Subtle layers give great movement to medium-length hair. The overall effect is soft yet slightly dishevelled. To enhance layers, try allowing hair to air-dry, then work a lightweight styling product through hair and pull hair apart in large sections.

Shaggy layers look best when are styled for volume and directed outward – this will prevent fine hair types from falling flat. To style, work from a part set far back on the crown and blow-dry pulling hair out with a flat-backed brush as you go.

Graduated layers give great interest to straight, medium-density hair, placed strategically to frame the face. The layered cut becomes even more flattering when paired with sleek, side-swept bangs.

  Wispy layers provide fine hair with volume. Ask your stylist to dry-cut your hair as the layers will work your hair's own density and growth, without removing too much bulk. Use a dry wax for end separation and definition.

Heavy layers are best to reduce the bulk in thicker hair types, giving them great shape and styling ease. To style, rake through layers styling cream, them blow-dry using a round brush; finish with serum for a shine.

Asymmetric layers gives a kick of edginess with longer layers on one side. Style it to play up the drama by parting hair high on the crown, then brushing it forward. Create a polished surface by flat-ironing, the turning up the longer ends to finish.
