Who says a modelling career ends at 30?

Both Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell started their modelling careers in the 1990’s when they were in their early 20’s - now Schiffer, 37 and Campbell, 38 are both rocking gigs as Claudia has been chosen as the face of Chanel’s Autumn/Winter collection and Naomi is fronting the new Yves Saint Laurent campaign. While we grew up with these models, they still look great and between Claudia’s stalkers and Naomi’s crazy physcial tantrum’s, these two are entertaining on and off the catwalks.

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall/Winter Preview

Take a sneak peek at what Ferragamo has in store for you.

ferragamowinter.jpg

Salvatore Ferragamo
Fall/Winter 2008 Men’s and Women’s Collection Press Preview was held exclusively at the Dance Studio of The Academy for the Performing Arts, Wanchai last week.

We gathered in the showroom to view Eunis Chan model the latest Ferragamo collection.

Look out for their Varina collection in new shimmering hues and their very own Ferragamo PVC sandals shoes. It seems like everyone is doing PVC sandals, we love it nonetheless, great for braving the wet rainy days. You got to love the trendy oversized patent tote in metallic red, very stunning indeed!

Eunis looked so good, she almost stole the show away from the backdrops of the Fall/Winter advertising campaign featuring Claudia Schiffer.

Take a peak of what’s making their way to Ferragamo stores:
