It’s happened again. I have found yet one more show that, despite the idiotic antics of the pretty and pretty brainless main characters, I am hooked on….a bit. I am fascinated by the new E! series, “Candy Girls.” Currently, my fave character is Bella (that’s the agency she runs) founder Danielle.

Now here’s the fashion hook. Miss Danielle’s Candy Girls are beautiful, nutty, spoiled brat, hip hop video eye candy, models and dancers. What I love in addition to their supremely selfish antics is their over the top, rock the brights, the big bags, big earrings and big attitude kind of style.

My favorite little style treat I have picked up from the girls is Danielle’s habit of wearing a super sized, super colorful rock on her finger. One tangerine tinted bauble I noticed looks similar to one from Dior’s Incroyables & Merveilleuses collection.

Danielle’s in your face business style and clothing choices are so fresh and fun especially now that spring is here. I am going to dig out my big pink square cut 1930’s ruby� set in gold I scored at the Flea a few years back. I think I could use a little candy.

Here is a Dior inspired� ring found on tace.com.

Dejan Jankovic is a stunning male model from Zagreb, Croatia. Not only is he stunning, he really doesn’t seem to realize it. With his Greek God like features, crystal blue eyes and perfect physique, Dejan is also very sweet and incredibly humble. He also loves Jim Carrey, so what more do you want? I had the pleasure of being acquainted with Dejan recently. With his sincere nature and film star looks, Dejan is set to take the modeling world by storm. Dejan is oh-so-ready to continue his successful modeling career in the U.S, Paris and London. 

Dejan kindly agreed to an interview, where I was able to ask him about his modeling career and other interests. Now I know ladies, you probably aren’t going to read any of this, so I’ve added a few pictures too.

Lisa : ” How old are you Dejan and where are you from?”

Dejan: ” I’m 21 years old and I live in Zagreb,Croatia”

L: “  How did you start modeling?”

D: ” I was out shopping and a girl noticed me. She said I should be a model and drove me straight to a fashion designer! He said I was great and here I am! That was just a year ago!”

L: Who are your favourite female models?

D: I love Claudia Schiffer, Gisele Bundchen, Heide Klum…I would love to marry someone as beautiful as them!

L: Who are your favourite designers?

D: D&G, Prada, Lanvin, Karl Lagerfield, Dior,Tom Ford…

L: This is an amazing shot. Weren’t you afraid of the snake?

D: I was scared at first! However after a taking a few photos I was fine. The snake was a great model and now we’re good friends!

L: What is fashion like in Croatia, how do you like to dress?

D: I love the fashion in Croatia. I love to dress casually, but if  I’m going out, I wear suits.

L: Apart from modeling, what are your other interests?

D: I love playing soccer, studying and hanging out with my friends

L: What would you like achieve in your modeling career?

D: I would like to do a big campaign for a famous brand…

Something tells me that big campaign is just around the corner.

Thanks Dejan! You’re a star!

The couture shows are like candy to me. I just sit back and wait to be dazzled, and I haven’t been disappointed by the Spring 08 runways. Angles, symmetry and volume seems to be an obsession of many designers this season, and nobody is holding back, especially where texture is concerned. Colorwise the pallets have run the gamut from muted at Chanel to vivid (an understatement) at Dior.

Here are some highlights of the Spring couture shows:

Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld plays with the classic Chanel jacket, mixing it with ballet flats and short angled skirts that remind of the 80s. Nylons also make a comeback in this ethereal collection.

Christian Dior

Leave it to John Galliano to do it up. The Dior catwalk was teaming with lusciously grandiose and billowing pieces. And, oh, was the 60s vibe was palpable.

Armani Privé.

It was all in the details for Giorgio Armani, who took a “more is better” attitude this season, working with lines, large floral add-ons, and sashes galore.
