THAT’S ME, THAT IS! *excited bounce*
So that shoot where I took you behind the scenes two weeks ago? Here it is! My first proper paid modelling gig, which is just as odd to me as it looks there in words. I know I shot the Hunter campaign, but that was just one look. This was four separate looks, all styled by me — with a little help from the Diesel team.
I’m thrilled with how I look in Diesel’s new S/S ‘12 pre-collection. I’m not a sample size: I’m a UK14/US10 and I think it’s a strong testament to Diesel’s new female design team headed up by London’s very own Fashion East and NEWGEN designer Heikki Salonen, that the collection works as well on me as it does on a size 8 or 10.
The first shot is my favourite look because I love both the look, and my hair and make up. My father actually had to ring my sister to check it was me. Cheeky bugger. I also wanted to say a huge thank you to the hundreds of people who have Tweeted, Facebooked, emailed & SMSd their support since Grazia came out on newstand on Tuesday. I was super nervous, so thank you for all being so lovely.
You can see all the proper photos in high res here.

OMG OMG Sasha, you look GORGEEEEEOUUUS!!!! The coffee shot is my favourite, your facial pose does look similar to Greta Garbo’s, maybe it’s the red lips.
I must grab a copy!!!!
You look stunning Sasha and it is great to see brands move more and more into using real people instead of models
I saw this when I was flicking through Grazia and you look bloody AMAZING!
STUNNING, and great collection. I feel you need to have a word with Donatella about a few things… she may learn something
Just divine! You are a natural!
the shot is awesome!!! massive congrats!
also I would never guess that you are size 14 :O never ever, you look so slim in those photos (esp. your legs).
you look very, very beautiful indeed.
You look amazing! Congrats!!!
Sasha you are wasted behind a camera! If you ever tire of blogging you certainly have a good chance at modelling- my best (male) mate just looked over my shoulder at your pics and asked who the *model* was!
As I tweeted to you yesterday, wow wow wow. I love the looks, the photos… & I am *so* happy for you! I started reading when you were in NJ. Your laptop was going bonkers, you weren’t sure what was what…well, I needn’t tell you what was going on. An excited, sympathetic *bounce* for you here in DC. xoxo
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Your styling is impeccable. So chic yet totally wearable.
Oh my gosh, you look fantastic as always but how wonderful to be modeling!
Diesel has great clothes, and how great is it that they might now be more accessible to different body types.
You look fabulous!! Congrats! Love the makeup and hair
Congratulations! You look incredible. Just a note about the website you linked to – I’m not sure if it’s a glitch with my computer, but it seems that they have mislabeled your name as Emily O’Brien.
The picture of you sitting drinking coffee/tea? You should have as your new heading for the blog its a great picture, it encompasses what you do on your blog/food reference/fashion/traveling etc.
Well done for your first real modeling gig!
Jx
you look so pretty!
how exciting! congratulations – you look amazing

Absolutely gorgeous photos. I love the atmosphere of them, very dramatic. My favourite is the close up, too. Love that chunky knit! What wonderful serendipity to stumble across that dog to borrow.
PLEASE tell where that red lipstick is from / what shade it is – utter heaven xx
Agree re coffee shot being your new twitter pic/in the blog header somewhere. IT IS STUNNING.
Great photos, nice outfits – as a fellow size 12/14-er with a sizeable bosom I would NEVER have dreamed of trying on Diesel, but these clothes look really rather flattering…! Were they comfortable or is the beauty of your styling that makes it all look very well-fitting?
Lovely stuff!
WOW. That’s our gal there! Woo hoo!

holy christ! i am joining the chorus here, but you look utterly, utterly BEAUTIFUL in these pics. Deneuving it baby!! if i had pics of myself looking even remotely this gorgeous, someone would have to shoot me to get my head back down to natural size.
You look absolutely beautiful – congratulations!
A born model!
WOW. How hot do you look! I love the first picture too, but also the coffee shop shot – love the contrasting looks. How wonderful to be able to look at those photos & know how gorgeous you look. I agree – you do have a look of the beautiful & elegant Deneuve. Be proud.
I love how they did your hair and makeup – you still look like your gorgeous self, just a very polished version of it
Stunning. Everything about this is just fantastic (and you wear clothes far better than my size 8, so it’s a testament to you as well as Diesel).
You look absolutely gorgeous. Adore the whole first look especially, and the shoes are to-die!
Anyone would think you were a professional model!
