Smoke & Mirrors

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Let's not open a yes/no smoking debate. (I'm against breathing toxic air). But let's enjoy some backstage pics of models smoking. Just think how their skin will look after years of cigarettes!

I just saw this picture of Tasha (thanks anonymous commenter :) from Viktor & Rolf, which is my favourite backstage picture, and I had to post it. It shows how the smokers are in desperate need of cigarettes 24/7, but also shows the beauty of good photography.

So now, which models are non-smokers? That's the question.

Notes: The only model I know she doesn't smoke is Caroline Trentini.
It is sad, I was disappointed when I saw Gemma or Jeisa smoking...

Those girls are smoking hot but it's a deal-breaker for this guy. Also, cigarettes are so expensive here in Manhattan, I'd rather spend my money on good food. Btw, I love your blog; it has depth.

kiki dunst said...

oh, btw, you made this amazing post bout a photographer, with an amazing collage, and i can't find it anywhere! could you tell me the name again? (please on my blog!)

aparently, smoking equals glam o style, I sometimes like how it looks like.
I love this blog. Me inspira.

camille said...

for me, just the smell is disgusting, but it's their own decission (a horrible one, because in a way, they are killing themselves).

kisses.

thetinylittlegirl said...

i'm a definite non-smoker (and give smokers a wide berth when i'm out and about) but perhaps the models use the ciggies as appetite suppressants?

Aretha said...

Lo siento Verymoni, pero estas chicas con cigarrillos en las manos me parecen de lo más sexy...

heidi said...

A mí me encantan las modelos, aunque fumen. ¡Y me encantan estas fotos de los backstages para poder cotillera qué se cuece detrás de lo que vemos!

Fuman poruqe les quita el hambre nada mas

Moni said...

Algunas fotos son para reportajes ¿no? (me refiero al primer plano de Carmen Kass, por ejem.)... También creo que fuman para matar el hambre (primero) y el aburrimiento (segundo).

(De nuevo gracias por intentar localizarme el poster).

VIVI said...

Hola,
Es verdad fuman para no comer y no engordar.
Besitos

Vivi

Di said...

Digo yo, Carinne, ¿que tendrá que ver ser francés, la libertad y el fumeque? qué manera de mezclar las cosas.

Shopaholic said...

Es verdad que casi toodas fuman, es increible!
pero supongo que sera para quitar el hambre como dicen por ahi arriba...

Un beso!

laratitapresumida said...

Creo que opino igual que shopaholic, porque dicen que fumar distrae al estómago. Y los desastres de la piel los arregla el photoshop.

alterego said...

Geniales las fotos. Besos.

Great post! I hate everything about smoking, so it is very disappointing seeing some of my favorite models do it, even though it might be so they wouldn't feel the hunger.

Mer said...

great post!!
El cigarro como glamour y chic es algo muy de las campañas de tabajo de los 50/60. Cómo lo planteas aquí, es algo realmente démodé...

besos!!

Holly Golightly said...

Yo creo que las buenas modelos no fuman, eso es muy malo para la piel. Claudia Schiffer ni bebe ni fuma. Un beso y, solo ella, es MODELO. Un beso Miss

kiki dunst said...

my mistake! it was starbucks&janeausten! and about nystories, i havn't seen it, so i can't really recommend it whatsoever, but if you do get it and do see it, please review me!

Cheap & Cool said...

Irene said...

Haha. Thanks for posting this I love it. Does Jessica Stam smoke?

S said...

I guess Suvi Koponen doesn't smoke either. Maybe it's just talk, but that's what I've heard.. And as a Finnish girl myself I'm so glad if she doesn't! Maybe you know better? Does Suvi smoke?

And gotta say: this is the first time I comment your blog, but I've been reading this for a while. I love it! Your blog is the best. It feels like you really love blogging and your texts and pictures are amazing. And I can find similiar thought with you, heh :)

Héloïse J. said...

great post de nouveau :D

thesil said...

Uf qué horror!odio el tabaco!

Coco said...

fumar es super sexy y super elegante... una pena q tb te mate jajaja (( por eso no fumo, q si no...))

un besiño

discothequechic said...

i think models need to smoke because..

they don't eat!

sadly, a little cancer stick in the mouth is fashionable, there's no denying it, no matter how much I hate the smell of a cigarette.

Fashion Critic said...

They make it look so cool, even though as a former smoker I know it is not cool to smoke and not easy to quit either. 3 attempts it took me. I have been smoke free from 2003 and now I can't stand the smell of it.

Patri said...

menuda colección de fumadoras...muy bueno. Un abrazo

capuccino bar said...

bravo por carol trentini.

The Vancouverista said...

no, thank you for having a great blog!!

Lorentzo* said...

Qué pena me da la gente que fuma...

Con lo guapas que son las modelos... Sus pulmones deben ser feísimos.

Saludos!

VINTAGE MOI said...

Hello, me ha encantado el post anterior, esa editorial de moda me encantó y el pelo de la modelo me parece lo massssssssss.
Odio el tabaco...pero...¿porqué a las modelos, les queda bien hasta fumar?
kissessssss

Belle said...

Aw man, Gemma smokes? That really hurts my feelings about her, I pictured her to be one of the more innocent models. If Ali Michaels smoked I'd start bawling.

Juaи + said...

Excelente por Caroline!

Smoking Kills!

Just so you know, it's not Doutzen. The model smoking in that picture is Tasha Tilburg!

pandarl said...

Just ionic-ally that i just picked up my first stick of cigarette last weekend and coughed badly due to my asthma.
Beauty is not forever, but health is essential. I haven't smoked since.

kitty kate said...

Eww pale and skinny they look like dead and skeletons...

BET raises awareness to the lack of Black Models in the fashion industry tonight with the BET News Special: Fashion Blackout:

BET News takes an inside look at one of fashion’s industry’s lasting weaknesses: The lack of Black models at major fashion shows and ad campaigns. Across the globe, as the runways fade to white, we have to ask ourselves, “Has Black become unfashionable?”

Top Black style-makers will pull no punches as they expose their industry’s dirty little secret: racism by some of the top names in fashion. Bethann Hardison, Naomi Campbell, Andre Leon Talley, Tracy Reese Liya Kebede, Iman and others give the lowdown on the lack of Black images in high fashion.

According to Targetmarket News.com Black women in the United States spend more than $20 billion on apparel each year. However, the runways, magazine spreads and the image/beauty industry at large is increasingly ignoring their buying power and their existence, choosing instead to market an eastern-European form of beauty as the standard. At the spring 2008 collections at Fashion Week in September 2007 in New York, the runways were dominated by white faces. In fact, Black faces were more absent from the runways than some fashion insiders have seen since the ‘60s
