What do you think models do when they’re off duty? Shop? Party? Not quite.
Many well known, successful models are trading the runway for offices and becoming profitable designers, and none more so than Erin Wasson. The 28 year old classic beauty has been the international face of Maybelline since 2002, and has graced the covers of Vogue, Esquire and Elle, to name just a few. Following the likes of Elle Macpherson and Gisele Bundchen, Erin has joined forces with ‘RVCA’ to bring her intimate knowledge of the fashion world to the Erin Wasson for RVCA collection.
Wasson’s collection showcases everything the typical high-end range usually doesn’t – designs that are low key, and fun but still edgy. A lot of her own attitude comes through in the style of key pieces, from ripped jeans and over sized ‘Keep it Neil’ t-shirts, to ‘Ride Me High’ tops. The collection highlights Wasson’s two best skills, as she unsurprisingly models the designs herself – after all, who else would be better suited to strut her person style? The line, together with her Low Luv jewellery collection of knuckle rings and tribal necklaces, combine to create the ultimate ‘tough-girl-with-attitude’ look.
When it comes to supermodel designers, Wasson is definitely one to watch.
