NARS - Key models

Mariacarla Boscono

Maria Boscono is a 35 year old model from Italy who was discovered at the age of 17 by a family friend who was a photographer. After Boscono finished school she moved to New York to pursue her modelling career and was signed by DNA Model Management. It didn't take long before Maria became an internationally known model, walking in all the runways and a firm favourite of Karl Lagerfeld. She has worked for NARS cosmetics, H&M, Prada, Chanel, Moschino, Givenchy, Hermes, YSL, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Barneys New York, DKNY and Missoni just to name a well known few which is clearly a very impressive list! It doesn't surprise me that she has been on the Worlds 15 Top Earning Supermodels. As well as modelling she has also had a go at theatre in New York.

I first recognised Mariacarla Boscono from the most recent NARS advertising campaign for the Velvet Matte Skin Tint SS16:

After doing some research into previous NARS adverts I realised that SS16 wasn't the first time Francois Nars had used Maria as a model for his collections.

This advertisement reminded me somewhat of the current trends for SS16 showcased on the catwalks with the bright cobalt blue eyes which were seen on many of the Spring ready-to-wear shows this year in very similar styles to this campaign. Also Maria's hair appears as though it could be in a sleek low ponytail which has been in different forms all over the catwalks this season too. This reminded me that looks and trends continuously come back around.
