WE LOVE OUR MODELS x MX MARION
Lorsque j’ai commencé à penser les photoshoots “God Bless America”, j’ai eu beaucoup de mal à trouver les modèles qui correspondaient à l’image que j’avais envie de refléter par le biais de mon travail. God Bless America c’est un peu de moi, c’est même TOUT moi ! On m’a proposé beaucoup de visages… Je n’ai pas accroché et j’avoue que par moment j’ai même été assez désespérée… Lorsque j’ai vu Marion, j’ai tout de suite flashé sur sa beauté naturelle, ses yeux de biche et son style.

Comment t’es-tu intéressée à la mode et pourquoi c’est important pour toi ? Je ne me suis jamais vraiment “intéressée” à la mode, c’est plutôt la mode qui est venue à moi, les tendances actuelles me plaisent et me correspondent.
Quelles sont tes passions ? J’aime le dessin, la photo, la peinture et faire les puces !
Comment tu décrirais la mode en france ? Grise et snob !!!
Top 3 des endroits à visiter sur Toulouse ? Les friperies Groucho , le Grenier d’Anais, le musée d’Histoire naturelle et les puces le samedi matin à st Sernin.
Peux-tu nous décrire ton style personnel et tes influences/inspirations. C’est un patchwork de différentes ambiances et époques qui me touchent. J’aime les vêtements qui racontent une histoire, qui ont vécu, c’est pourquoi je m’habille essentiellement en friperie ou aux puces. J’aime aussi l’esprit américain des années 60/70. Mon style est aussi beaucoup influencé par le cinéma, les films de Tarantino, John Waters ou encore le personnage d’Iris dans Taxi Driver.
Quels sont tes sites/blogs favoris ? J’aime beaucoup Fashion Toast et Oracle fox.

Quels sont tes créateurs préférés et les endroits où tu fais ton shopping ?
 Je n’ai pas de créateur préféré. J’aime surtout les boutiques en ligne comme Spanish Smoss Vintage, Stylestalker ou God bless america ! Pour ce qui est des boutiques : je suis accro à Topshop.
Le première chose que tu regardes dans la tenue de quelqu’un ? Les accessoires, surtout les bijoux.

D’après toi, quelle est la dernière tendance à la mode et qu’en penses-tu ?
 L’esprit teenager rebelle, cheveux colorés et t-shirt satanique, ça me renvoie 10 ans en arrière et j’aime ça !

Quel sera ton prochain achat “must have” ?
 Des compensées sûrement !

Y a t’il une personne que tu admires en particulier pour son style ?
 J’adore Anna Mouglalis, Erin Wasson et Pamela Love.

On peut trouver quoi sur ta playlist en ce moment ?
 Modern Witch, Salem, CocoRosie, the Kills, Lykke li.

Tu ne peux pas vivre sans…
 Avocats et mozzarela !!!
Quels sont tes articles préférés sur godblessamerica.fr ? Sans hésiter la veste à frange et la robe Motel Piano.

Quelle est ta meilleure trouvaille vintage à ce jour ?
 Un pull en crochet blanc pour 2 euros !

En 2015 tu seras…
 peut-être encore vivante.


WE LOVE OUR MODELS x DANIELA







Do you remember our killer model in the first God Bless America video? I had a crush on Daniela Keravuori! she is a talented finnish model & blogger. We asked her some questions:
Tell us a little bit about yourself and where you live. Hi, I’m Daniela and I live in the heart of Helsinki, Finland.

How did you first get interested in fashion and why is it important? I think I have been interested in fashion my whole life, when i was little i chose my own clothes. I was always overdressed wearing prinsess dresses.
How do you describe the fashion scene in your country/city compared to other major cities/fashion capitals? In helsinki there is many different styles, here people really like to show what they feel trough what they are wearing. However, if you are wearing a big hat or something a little different, you will get a lot of questioning looks from people.
What do you love about living in helsinki? Helsinki is pretty, small, easy going, clean.

Describe your personal style and its influences / inspiration. I get inspiration from people in the street, my friends, blogs, designers. I like to dress comfy and use mostly black, white and gray. I don’t take it too seriously though.
What are your favorite websites/blogs? I read a lot of blogs. A lot. Favorites might be streetstyle blogs like: hel-looks.com/ carolinesmode.com/ stockholmstreetstyle/ altamiranyc.blogspot.com/ and personal blogs like:  elinkling.net/ stylebykling. I  also like to follow my friends blogs like: lily.fi/ palsta/ josephine, parisjetaime.papper.fi.
Favorite designers and places to shop? I like designers who does simple collections, less is more. acne, chloe balmain. I also like designers who have a little fun with the clothes like Yohji Yamamoto, maison martin margiela, rick owens. Also classical brands like chanel and helmut lang i do like a lot. New york is a long time favorite place to shop, there you can find anything and everything.
The first thing you look at in another person’s outfit is: quality of the clothes!! it doesn’t need to be expencive but it sure don’t need to look cheap. thats why i prefer materials like silk, leather and demin.
A fashion rule you always break: I do wear demin on demin.

A fashion rule you never break: shoes and bag must always match. my mum thought me that and it has stuck with me althoug im trying to get rid of it. i can’t wear blue and black together.
What do you think is the most recent notable trend to appear/reappear, and what are your thoughts on it? the cropped pant. i do like it is just a little over the ancle but im not sure what my thoughts are about the pant that ends just under the knee. it might grow on me though. The classical loafers are back and i love them!
What is the most underrated item in womenswear? jeans.
What is your next “must have” purchase? I have a list of things that i would like to have. the list is long but i think the first thing i will get is white jeans, nude louboutins and a burberry trench. the balmain fall2011 jumpsuits are amazing..!!!
Are there any fashion icons or famous people whose style you admire? Alexa chung is so cute, freja beha is cool, Mary Kate Olsen and Kate Bosworth dress nicely. I love the style of parisian ladies, Emmanuelle Alt and Carine Roitfeld dress flawlessly.
What’s on your iPod / bookshelf / DVD player at the moment? My boyfriend is the dj. bookshelf everything from Shopaholic to Stieg Larsson and from Heroine diaries to the davinci code. dvd, black swan.
What can’t you live without? my boyfriend, lipstick and chocolate.
Next place you want to travel to: Hong Kong, Bejing and Tokyo.

What are your favorite items on godblessamerica.fr? The funny thing is that i lovelovelove almost everything on godbless america!! it will get expencive for me:D the dresses are adorable!!
What is your best vintage find ever? The best finds i have made is in my mums closet! she has so many wonderful things in there.
In the year 2015 you will be: happy, working in some big city, fit and healthy… :D

What would you say to someone seeking fashion advice? I hate when people try too much, the best thing to do is wear what YOU like and what you feel good in. then there is always style.com that will help you :D
What colour(s) best represents your personality and why? I mostly wear black, white and grey, but that would mean im sad and miserable which im not:D my home is compleatly white. so i would say white, for cleaness and freshness.
Thank you Daniela <3
