site update
23 August 2011

Amber has scored a major new campaign for the fall in the form of Smashbox.  She, along with models Laura Love and Atlanta de Cadenet (that's Duran bassist John Taylor's daughter) are featured in the latest advertising campaign, photographed by the great Terry Richardson.  One new line in the campaign is titled "Girls On Film" - who can show it off better than two Duran daughters!

Check out video of the models on Smashbox's YouTube channel and more images of the campaign on this site.

 

 

Also see new images of Amber promoting charity Jeans for Genes and modelling designs earlier this year for Graduate Fashion Week in the personal gallery.

I added some images to the editorial gallery from recent issues of Vanidad and Glamour Spain, also from last year's issues of Prestige and Tatler Hong Kong (scroll down for those; they're in reverse chronological order).

Also, if you are an Amber fan, be sure to check out her unofficial Facebook group, which always has the latest images of Amber.

She is a big fan of Zara Simon's jewellery line and is now the brand's face, as she is featured prominently on their homepage flashing many baubles from the autumn/winter 2010 collection.

Amber also did interviews last year with Heat Magazine (I found this scan on Zara Simon's press page; does anyone have the rest?) and Independent Woman (where she gives a revealing peek at her daily life).

Glamour UK's Most Stylish Brits
27 September 2010

The fashion magazine has named Amber #23 on their list of best-dressed British men and women.  They say: "With a model mother and a rocker father, Amber has the right genes to make it in the fashion world. She borrows It-accessories from her mum’s wardrobe, can get away with extremely high hemlines and isn’t afraid to turn up in jeans and leathers. Watch this space."

Amber Le Bon on the cover of Tatler March 2010
31 January 2010

The Telegraph reports that Amber is on the cover of the March 2010 issue of Tatler, out on Thursday.  This will be her first solo cover, as she has done a few with her parents when she was younger.  Congratulations, Amber!

While many may see her appearance as "yet another" cover for a model with famous parents, Amber resists that kind of categorization, she tells Tatler: "I don't really see myself as a socialite or as a 'child of someone.' I'd rather be working than going to fashion parties all the time. Being put in a group, I hate that. I don't think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person."

Her mum Yasmin fronted two issues of Tatler, the first in February 1986.

 


18 January 2010

Amber has continued to enjoy success as 2010 begins. 

Recently, she has become one of the faces of ASOS spring/summer 2010 womenswear, modelling a number of outfits on their website.  (Visit the ASOS site and click on the images of Amber to see her doing the catwalk in their clothes!)

Last December, Amber shot with Nick Knight for 100 Portraits.  She and the 99 other subjects should appear in i-D's 30th anniversary issue out on 25th March.  Yasmin was scheduled to take part but regrettably disappeared from the roster less than 24 hours beforehand.

She appeared in what seems to be a recent editorial (as seen in her Models 1 book), but the source is as yet unknown.


29 October 2009

In a recent interview with the Times Online, Yasmin and Amber (with probably the only photoshoot I've seen of them together since Amber started modelling professionally, shown to the right in YLB for Wallis of course!) discussed their style preferences, desires, and tips.

 

 

 

Finally, in news about Amber, she did spring/summer 2010 shows in London for Ramon Gurillo and Vauxhall Fashion Scout, and for Parah Noir in Milan.  She also made a few public appearances, displaying her dark color choices for autumn/winter fashion.  She appeared in a two-page feature in October 2009 UK Vogue where she shows off some clothing items from what she calls "The Parents Store" and tells why her mum's Alaïa is mostly off-limits.  According to her Twitter, she's currently in Morocco!
