Longchamp Look-Alikes

Kate Moss has been rocking the ads for Longchamp for many seasons, but the advertisements have gotten even more alluring with a "twin" on the set. At a quick first glance, I truly thought it was two figures of Kate Moss in the same photo. But the next instant I knew it was another model, but who?

Ah, the one and only - Sasha Pivovarova. I've never seen a huge resemblance between the two models, but with these ads I could easily see them as sisters even! Not only do these top models look great, the clothes that Longchamp have recently launched for the Spring 2009 season are awfully chic. Who'd ever think Longchamp, a luxury leather goods brand, would come up with such a sophisticated, yet remarkably stylish, clothes line? I'm quite the stunned one.

Speaking of Longchamp, I never told you that I wrote a small article for Longchamp about their new line of bags, did I? My commentary was on my view of the St. Germain trend, which was the inspiration behind their new line. Feel free to take a look at the article at their website.

I've never seen any resemblance b/w Sasha P. and Kate before now. Again, I revel and bow in the presence of the power of makeup.

Kate Moss does not look like her regular self in these pics. Then again, she is a chameleon, which is why she's stayed relevant for so long!

Lisa said...

They do look quite similar! And great job with the press blurb. :-)

Rich Hippie said...

These are awesome. I simply adore Sasha. How could would it be to work with Kate Moss when you're a younger model?!

Secretista said...

WOW! That really does look like two Kate Mosses!!!

Julia said...

I reallllllly hate these ads [from styling to photography to post processing] I can't get past the bad everything to notice how they look alike because even their hair was post processed into some awful colouring and I wouldn't be surprised if they were made to look alike a bit more.

The beautiful and glammed said...

Look amazing together! Sasha fierce strikes again :) Cool blog <3 x

giggleness said...

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against

Any tips?
