Madonna and Marc seem to have really hit it off.

And both seem really fascinated by the recent Interview Magazine with Bjork on the cover.

Alek Wek, what happened to her arm?

Kate Hudson

Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras

Nacho Figueras.

And if the guy that Harry is competing against looks familar, that is because he is Nachos Figueras, the face of all the current Ralph Lauren ads. Sometimes a model is so perfectly matched to the appeal of the brand they represent that they become more than just a campaign representative, they become the physical embodiment of the brand itself. Nacho Figueras is the total Polo package - with his smoldering good looks, athleticism (he actually plays the sport professionally)  and debonair vibe he captures all the qualities of the Ralph Lauren man. Perhaps that’s why the designer made Figueras the face of all three Polo fragrances - the first time any model has ever simultaneously represented all the scents at once.

Who’d you rather? The Polo guy, or Prince Harry?

Oh My God! What do you think Madonna and Marc were looking at? Mine didn't come in the mail yet, but when it does I am going to look through every page and say to myself; "Madonna and Marc looked at this same page together". Haha! :P

i know what you mean! I can't wait to get mine too!maybe there's a LV ad or story about them! I hope so!

Kasia said...

Yeah! They definitely have subscriptions to it, like us, which is cool to think about! Haha.

Chloe looks really great. The hat does look like a modified Spring 2009 Marc Jacobs.
On the other hand, Kate Hudson does not look her best.
