Two supermodels are heading up two top high street brands’ autumn/winter collections. Hannah Davies finds out more. WHEN you want style and sophistication the 90s supermodels did it the best, and are continuing too. Forget about the emaciated size-zero barely-out-of-puberty girls scraping down the catwalk we’re after glamour, sophistication and style. Which is why Accessorize have signed up supermodel Heidi Klum, part of a sophisticated couple with singer Seal, (none of your grimy Kate Moss / Pete Doherty coupling here – this couple is glamour); and Monsoon have signed up the utterly beautiful Helena Christensen. Boho film star style accompany jewel tones, purple and emerald greens in the collection mean whether on a night out or shopping in town sophistication is never far behind. All Helena’s outfits available from Monsoon, All Heidi’s jewellery and bags from Accessorize. Launched in Monsoon and Accessorize stores nationwide this month. Stockist number 0870 412 9000. Web www.monsoon.co.uk or www.accessorize.co.uk Heidi Klum Q and A. I was most star struck when… I met Bill Clinton – what a charmer!! If I was invisible for a day, I would spy on… My nannies?! Just kidding – sort of... What is your ‘must have’, ‘can’t live without’ accessory? Well since I’m a mom, I’m going to have to say my double stroller. The weirdest place I’ve ever been recognized is… Well, it’s always weird to be recognized in the ladies’ room... The most fabulous thing in my wardrobe is… A vintage Valentino couture red dress with a dragon on it! The worst thing about my job is… Travelling – which is weird because I loved travelling before my family, but sometimes, I just want to stay home and hang with them!! If you were to appear in a reality TV show, it would be… Well, I do two actually!! Project Runway and Germany’s Next Top Model. The TV family you would most like to be part of is… I don't watch TV very much. On your bedroom wall when you were a teenager, there was… A poster of WHAM!! I actually loved Andrew Ridgely more than George Michael! The last time I cried was… I watched this sad movie called Bridge To Terabithia – the little girl dies at the end-terrible! The last three things I bought on my credit card were… Hermes bag, Indian jewellery, $2,000 worth of kids’ stuff at Target – like wet wipes, bouncy toys, a blow up pool, miniature lawn furniture and garden tools in pink and blue. What’s on your iPod? My husband’s upcoming new album -- it’s AMAZING!!!! |
