FORD have some models on their books whose personal styles you’d least consider classic. Grungy, cool, nonchalant, yes – but probably not classic. Count amoung them Julia Nobis, Hanne Gaby Odiele, and Bambi Northwood-Blyth. None the less, for their spring 2013 show package opted to show that elegant and classic side of each of their girls. Looking straight out of another era, we particularly love…

There’s a mighty fine line between brilliance and excess, and Marc Jacobs is treading it. As with his Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 collection (which now looks subtle in comparion), his Marc by Marc Jacobs offering is likely to polarise fans into those who think it’s trying too hard, and those who think it hits a cleverly youthful note. The reality is that it’s all about…

Often the ghost of an era is evoked through silhouette, through makeup, through hair, through backdrop. In this shoot of Bambi Northwood-Blyth, echoes of the 1950s and 1960s are brought to life through colour and print. Nothing explains it better than a lemon yellow a-line skirt paired with a floral-print shell top, hued in retro browns and lilac; an outfit completed by a spotted headscarf.…

New Zealand may be known to some for its rolling green hobbit hills, its adventure-sport mountains, its flightless Kiwi birds, or its unique accent; but to those in the fashion world it’s known for the relaxed yet edgy aesthetic that seems to bubble constantly from under its surface. It’s an aesthetic that always looks like it’s far too cool without really trying. New Zealand’s Remix…

There’s nothing we love to see more at the Spring Racing Carnival than non-traditional outfits that deny the frills and flutter, but still feel right at home. Saturday’s Caulfield Cup was filled with examples, from Bambi Northwood-Blyth’s races outfit to this easy combination of super-skinny pants and a smart structured top, both by Scanlan & Theodor. The wearer, Emma, brought the ensemble into Spring Racing…

You know someone oozes cool-factor when they can shun the traditional race wear and still steal the spotlight at the race marquee. No hats required for Bambi Northwood-Blyth, whose only accessories at Saturday’s Caulfield cup were a masculine wristwatch and boyfriend Dan Single; her ultra-cool hairstyle knotting its way down the centre of her head like a horse’s mane, a solitary hint of equestrian theming…

Continuing with their theme of using Australia’s ‘it’ models as calendar girls, Sex & Fashion offers up model Anja Konstantinova as a part of their September 2011 feature. August saw Bambi Northwood-Blyth featured.

Witchery have always been one high street store who tread the fine balance between classic and on-trend, basic and statement. And they tend to keep their head above water in doing so. With relaxed tailoring and minimalism holding strong for the southern hemisphere’s entrance into spring 2011, Witchery are more in their element than ever. It’s a style they’ve always excelled at, and this season…

Bambi Northwood-Blyth‘s reign as a model comes down to more than those eyebrows. Rather, she both bucks expectations and conforms to them. She’s certainly not a tall model and where that would limit others to pictorial work, she instead compliments her pictorials with stints on the catwalks for the likes of Chanel. She can come across as luxuriously delicate and inversely sexed up or brimming with the attitude of youth.…

After seeing these behind the scenes shots of Bambi Northwood-Blyth for Free People, it’s hard to imagine that the actual finished campaign could get any better. With milkmaid braids and au natural makeup, and gauzy flowing pieces contrasted by chunky knit socks, the styling matches the backdrop of sweeping fields and daydream hazy lighting. Fingers crossed that, regardless of how the final look book turns…
