Arizona Muse Is Back, And So Is Her Bob
Once pleasantries are exchanged and hair and makeup looks discussed, the backstage chatter this season has more often than not turned to a readily repeated question: Where are all the big models? Fall’s familiar faces—Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, and Anna Selezneva—have been few and far between for Spring, replaced instead by a host of newcomers from last season like Kati Nescher, Cara Delevingne, and Marie Piovesan. Rubik and Fall 2011 star Arizona Muse made a point to make their presence known right off the bat in Paris, though, as both models—joined by fellow bigs like Constance Jablonski, Karlie Kloss, and Jourdan Dunn—were backstage at Anthony Vaccarello. “It’s so nice to see you,” an elated Muse said to Rubik. It was the former’s first show all season. “I’ve been working but am really excited to be here,” the newly named Estée Lauder face explained of her absence; for Muse, who recently relocated to London full time, it was an easy train ride to the City of Light. As she left Tom Pecheux’s makeup chair and a flurry of photographers surrounded the Tucson native, we noticed something different about her; her bangs had grown out, or so it appeared. “These are extensions from a shoot! I had the pros do this [for me]. I’m growing them out but they’re at a weird length,” she elaborated of the controversial fringe she cut last season. “It’s back to the length and color it was when I first started modeling, too. I like the bob,” she said. Us too.
EXCLUSIVE: Point And Shoot: Christiaan Plays Shear Genius—And Shutterbug—For 25
After a splashy reveal in Cannes last month, Anja Rubik’s 25 Magazine is a week away from hitting newsstands—much to the delight of voracious glossy readers chomping at the bit to peruse the supermodel’s first editorial venture. Inspired by the now defunct seventies title Viva as well as old issues of Penthouse and Playboy of the era, Rubik describes the collectible read as a publication for “very strong-minded, ambitious women, who are very comfortable with themselves and their sexuality.” It’s also very much for fashion obsessives. “It’s been created from inside of the industry,” according to Rubik—and features the work of many of the biz’ biggest names: Inez van Lamsweerde, Ellen von Unwerth, and one Christiaan Houtenbos. “I have been working with Christiaan for many years. I call him my ‘hair whisperer,’ ” Rubik jokes of the man who gave her her short crop a few years back. “He is very unique; he has a very interesting view on things, and one of the reasons why I think he is such a great hairdresser is that he is more than hair. He possesses a huge imagination, loves art, does sculpture”—and is pretty handy with a camera. “I have always seen him clicking away in the studio, getting the coolest shots,” Rubik says of Christiaan’s photography habit, a pastime he rarely shares with others, until now. The first issue of 25 (which can be preordered at Colette) features a spread of intimate portraits snapped by the hairdresser as he jets from one shoot to the next, one country to another. Here, Style.com previews a selection of ten of these portraits for an inside view of the editorial process, from behind the hairstylist’s chair.
