#DWW: Happy Birthday, Daria Werbowy! Celebrating the Woman Who Launched a Thousand Céline Campaigns

Daria Webowy Celine Campaigns Juergen Teller

Today, in honor of Daria Werbowys 31st birthday, we’re dedicating our third #DWW to her cultish Céline campaigns. After all, as remarkable as her modeling portfolio may be—Werbowy has played muse to every photographer from Helmut Newton to Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin—it’s her seven-season collaboration with the house’s creative director Phoebe Philo and photographer Juergen Teller that has defined the look of the moment. First debuting in the company’s spring 2011 ad, Daria helped to usher in a new wave of modern, approachable luxury—her makeup-free skin and finger-raked bun as coolly real-world wearable as Philo’s well-tailored separates. Whether captured brimming over the edge of a bathtub (spring 2013) or combed back and gleaming like her leather tunic (fall 2012), the model’s choppy, wavy bob induced a near universal need-it-now reaction with its air-dried ease and signature layers. Even wearing high-impact red lipstick, an oversize bow, or lashings of off-kilter eyeliner, she managed to convey the precise mix of irreverence and practicality that our complicated times crave. Perhaps it’s the sense that Werbowy herself has come into her own, quietly managing her powerhouse career while devoting herself to travel, photography, surfing, and sailing, that proves so convincing. Here, a look at Werbowy’s best beauty moments from the Céline campaigns.
