Daisy and Pixie Give Pringle a Boost, Lose Their Noses
Pringle of Scotland wanted to reinvigorate the image of their Pringle 1815 line and make it "feel young, fresh, and very British," so they recruited Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof and uh, American Lydia Hearst for the campaign, shot by Steven Meisel.
Update: I'm kind of embarrassed about the next paragraph. I do like Daisy's look, but am re-thinking the 'real model' thing. She's done some good spreads but I realised I've only seen her as Daisy, in print. I do like her on the catwalk. I leave that one open. Pixie, she's not her sister. And for that I am hugely grateful.
I'm used to seeing Daisy look amazing, I think she's a great model, and has proven to be a real model. But Pixie, while she has great style and is far and above the only most interesting of the Geldof sisters was a real shocker: That's, uh, not her. This is her at, for Agent Provocateur, also current:
Speaking of Agent Provocateur, the big fashion issue of Elle UK came with a poster/catalogue for their 'Virgins' collection (um, right) which features Pixie who is the most modestly dressed out of the hoard. It essentially looks like a cupid orgy. I mean, a virgin cupid orgy. If you want it, be the first to say so in the comments of this blog and I'll send it to you. They're being sold on Ebay! Ha. Free at Swelle.
Here's Daisy and Pixie with a male model who looks like he could be their little brother and got to keep all of his nose:

Pringle gave her a serious nosejob courtesy of the Photoshop surgeons and seemed to slim Daisy's as well. I guess youthful noses don't go with knits. But how in the world did they make Pixie appear so skinny, in clothes? She hasn't been snapped looking that micro at any time and she's always being snapped. Funny how her real body was good enough for modelling lingerie but not for Pringle!

My god whats next - removing fingers because they dont suit the hem of a skirt!
I didnt recognise either of them when I first saw the post! Pixie looks like she has been punched in the mouth as her lips are double the size and bless the little boy (if he is indeed a boy - he may have been photoshopped from a girl)
