If Topshop sold ‘Alice Dellal in A Bag’ I would be the first to buy it.
There is no limit on how cool or edgy this Brazilian model/socialite will become. At first we loved her for her rebellious outcry against the private-school educated persona; with a simple razor she was able to inspire thousands of teenage girls across London to shave their heads too and basically, in one phrase, ‘fuck it.’
Thus, an unlikely heroine was born from the tattoos and piercings, the ripped fishnet tights and hardcore combat boots. Somehow we came to love and adore the girl who looked as though she had jumped a homeless man and stolen all his clothes.
Personally, I believe London is under a wave of Dellal-fever. Forget swine-flu or cervical cancer, the real thing that parents ought to protect their daughters against is the reckless influence of Alice Dellal and her group of anarchists. More often than not we ordinary folk of day jobs and school priorities open up the paper to reveal a glossy snapshot of Pixie Geldof, Alice and Daisy Lowe stumbling out of a nightclub, knuckleduster and cigarette in hand.
Truth-be-told none of these girls are classically ‘beautiful’ or extensively ‘brainy’ but that’s exactly the reason why we love them so, they voice the crazy thoughts and fearless rebellion that’s inside each and every one of us….but we’re all to scared to let out.
Perpetually dressed as though she's going to a rave, Dellal counts Mick Jagger and Mario Testino as her godfathers, she's the daughter of a Brazilian model and a British millionaire, her brother is currently dating Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi, whilst Alice herself has posed for French Vogue and is the face for Pussy Glamore lingerie. I almost hate her.
Designers are even now starting to copy the model's style secrets, with both Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler exhibiting Dellal-fever in their collections at New York Fashion week.
Hailed prophetically as the next ‘Kate Moss,' she even got her boobs out during London Fashion Week cat walking for ‘House of Blue Eyes.’
All I can say is, this girl’s got nerve, and her boyfriend is hot too.
