In the April issue of FASHION Magazine, Irina Lazareanu plays a fabulous fashion ed., but the real-life model/musician has a quirky, cool style that’s all her own.

MFW diary: Worshipping Marni while lusting after Brioni
Left: Brioni shot by Elisabetta Villa/Stringer Right: Marni shot by Keystone Press.
As I am waiting for Brioni to begin, I notice that all the staff is wearing the latest object of my affection: the horn necklace worn by Irina Lazereanu in our April issue (stay tuned for a preview). I’m lusting big time!
But first things first: let’s discuss Marni while we wait. The congregation was in full rapture at the church of Consuelo Castiglioni this fine Sunday morning in Milan. Castaglioni sure knows how to preach to the converted by showing yet another strong, glamorous collection that was modern and precise. Full of many of the trends that have swept Milan fashion week including forest green, block heeled mary janes, gold lurex, geometric prints, stiff leather, strict rigorous volumes, cocooning egg shapes and fur, each was featured in her very own special way. Hallelujah!

NYFW diary: Marchesa meets Great Expectations
Left: Irina Lazareanu. Right: Marchesa dramatics soar to new heights.
Only Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Karen Craig could make Miss Havisham look haute (oh to be a wealthy spinster living in a dilapidated mansion). For fall, the duo drew inspiration from David Leon’s 1946 film version of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. Amidst all of the usual tulle, light-as-air layers and long pooling silhouettes, they created a fresh spin using exaggerated Victorian shapes, dusty, antique accents and unexpected new pieces (snakeskin print leggings).

Q&A: Irina Lazareanu on the most romantic thing ever
Romanian-born, Montreal-raised Irina Lazareanu has pounded the runways for everyone from Chanel, Christian Dior and 3.1 Phillip Lim to Sonia Rykiel, Rick Owens and Yohji Yamamoto. But it’s her off-catwalk life that she’s famous for: She’s friends with Kate Moss, is working on her own album with Sean Lennon and has played drums for Pete Doherty and his band, Babyshambles (she’s also been romantically linked—or at least rumoured to be—with both of them). She brought her signature bangs and cool, badass appeal to the opening of the Joe Fresh Style flagship in Vancouver, and FASHION snatched a moment with her to talk all things love.
You walked in the Joe show in Toronto last spring. Did you know the company before that? “That was my first time working with them, and it was really amazing. It was my first Canadian show, my mom was there, and I felt so at home.”
This interview is for our February issue, and the theme is love. “Ooooh.”
Obviously, there are things everyone wonders about your relationships. “I love that. I’m very open—I mean, what else is there to know that people don’t already know?” Read more »

Q&A: Joe Mimran talks about the first Joe Fresh flagship
Joe Mimran poses with models (from left) Tiiu Kuik, Irina Lazareanu and Arlenis Sosa
Hanging out with Irina Lazareanu is what I call a Saturday night well spent. And this is how last weekend played out, when Joe Mimran rolled into town to celebrate the opening of the country’s first freestanding Joe Fresh Style flagship (540 Granville St., 604-681-4200, joe.ca). With him? A handful of Toronto media, Loblaws executives, musicians from Marianas Trench, Divine Brown, The Stereos and Sweet Thing (who gave a free, afternoon street concert to screaming fans), DJ Mia Moretti and electro-violinist Caitlin Moe, and of course, the models—Irina, Arlenis Sosa and Tiiu Kuik. Here’s what he had to say about the store. Read more »
