Daria Werbowy by Mikael Jansson for Vogue Paris May 2007

Just today, we’re looking at 90s editorials of THE Supermodels, those larger than life Amazons (only size 4-6) who transmitted presence and sensual power literally jumping off the pages. No wonder some designers dictated “kaput, these women are too strong and powerful!”

Now those women were fierce, and we didn’t even use the word! Sorry, my dears. Today’s girls are pussy cats by comparison, and we’re not being competitive. Sexy muscles are powerful and seductive in our life play book. “Fierce” involves more than a face that scowls and considers smiles poison.

True fierce is “kick butt” style and looking like you can deliver the knock-out punch.

Daria Werbowy strikes a take-note message — not Supermodel femme power — but strong nevertheless, in this Vogue Paris editorial ‘Sexy Plongeant’ lensed by Mikael Jansson.  Sensually sexy from within, this kind of woman must be reckoned with.
