revolve styleguide spring09

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I was in the middle of working on a post right now when my extremely lovely booker Jen emailed me that the Style Guide I shot for Revolve is up..make sure to check out the video complete with utterly embarrassing clips of me playing a violin missing half it's strings. Much love to everyone at Revolve!

Caroline said...

Ahhh...the whole guide looks sooooo great! AND so you. It was funny, I got sort of sentimental looking at it, because I remember reading your blog back in the day when you were just a little California girl playing around with fashion and now it's like...she's all grown up and in the big time! Very proud of you...you have lots of talent, work hard, and deserve it:)

Petite Lapin said...

Love the leather jacket

Love your pictures!!!

♥ fashion chalet said...

I think what makes your style so appealing is that you're a casual-California girl with a love for High Fashion which you manage to mix in effortlessly.

By the way. Violist? Impressive! :)

Shay said...

the violin kind of isn't you somehow and you don't look happy holding it, you're like "what is this thing?" ;) I would have put the bowler hat photo on the main page and shown those wicked stockings. so much more Rumi! ;)

lilly said...

Did someone lighten their eyebrows??? HmmMmm???

PUNKIE said...

GREAT GREAT GREAT!
Rumi you're the best!

Gigi said...

You're such a natural infront of the camera (modeling) and during the interview... Great work!

you suck as a model, you are a great rich kid

after watching the video of you in motion, i am glad you choose to keep your mouth shut in colin's photos. your voice is so asynchronous and disconcerting....so sorry to say.

Moded'amour said...

you look gorgeous!!
i love all those shoes!!!

Midnight traveller said...

I hate anonymous bloggers. If you are going to say something mean, you should own up to it.

You still totally rock my socks. And seeing you in motion makes you even cooler!

Ps. Keep it up, those that achieve the most always get the most criticism too

i loved all the outfits you chose!!! and who woulda thought u played violin!!! lol!

Annie said...

I LOVE how they did your make-up--for some reason it reminds me of Tori Amos's make-up? Lol, I don't know why, I guess it's the red lips and your cheek bones. Awesome shoot and you did a great job on the video!!!

Krista said...

I dont understand why you are a model besides the fact youre a socialite. I doubt youd ever book anything actually high fashion related.

You look cute though..just not model-ee/

myvogue said...

I love the outfit with the leather jacket. Really nice professional pictures.

Shini said...

aychh you look great, you know, I see the Japanese in you peeking out in that left pic, something about it! You should do more videos like that one you did ages ago, great to see you in 'action' again :D

Luxe. said...

Wow these are stunning!.x

gennie said...

love your hair like that!! you look awesome congrats :)

Tegan said...

I saw this a few days ago and honestly, didnt find it to be terribly impressive. Cheers to you for managing to obtain this contract and additional self promotion, but other than that I really wasnt impressed. I think you could stand to use a modeling coach because the body poses that you presented werent editorial worthy.

rumi you look so pretty!!

ps just saw that twitter about the sequins jacket-i ordered it as soon as michelle (K.O.S) posted about it! it's beautiful no?

I absolutely LOVE this photoshoot! What a great job you did modelling and styling the shoot!

i love these pictures, the background is really amazing, unusual. that mini skirt is so cute too.

Sylvia said...

You look great! Congrats!

NOELLE said...

I loved the video of you. I wish you'd put videos of you up on your blog. Sooo interesting to watch!!

I also loved the few videos of you on YouTube. MORE RUMI!!

You have truly outshined yourself here. Not to dock your bf's photography, but these pictures really capture your beauty even more so! OMG and I LOVE less eye makeup with red lips. Absolutely a great look for you. CONGRATS!

great looks!

Lauren said...

Rumi, the style guide looks amazing! My favorite outfits were The Modern Toga, Star Trekking (awesome dress you should keep it), and School Girl! It was also very cool to see you with different hairstyles.

Someone made a comment about you modeling with your mouth open, my bff models and she can't close her mouth either! lol. But in her defense, she says Kate Moss models with her mouth open too! And she does it, what's wrong with that? Keep up the good work!

Anonymous said...

meh, nothing special to me. you look so pretty on the right but not so much on the left. To be honest, you're not really model material which is not to hate or anything cause you are pretty. btw, you're legs look strange in the left outfit..

fourteenfashionstatements said...

YAY RUMI!

caroline said...

Love that skirt,miss.

Dana said...

I love how some people find that they are in the position to deem who is and who is not model worthy.

The fact is that you are ridiculously lucky to have scored such an opportunity with Revolve, and a million other girls would kill to be you. I liked that the photos showed you in a different element than what we're used to seeing on the blog. Congratulations on your success Rumi. Keep it up.

sara said...

this is fantastic! its so funny listening to you speak instead of reading it.. as i put an australian accent on you haha. xo

Laurie said...

Great pics Rumi, it's amazing how different you look in these photos, much more Asian and less generic. Good work!

awesome!

Oh that skirt is minimarket right? Love it! <3 Isabelle

Slimbykings said...

This is just perfect! well, actually, we all know that just is not the right word, it's to small for what you've done and what you are doing!

Anonymous said...

Hey seriously meuf, you have to start parting your hair in the middle and let it wave like in the photos, it makes you look a zillion times prettier! And classier! Please!

Anonymous said...

Me again, I saw that someone said you looked "more asian and less generic" in those pics, that's absolutely what I meant. The weird bangs make you look generic. And your usual make up (lots of black/grey eyeshadow) makes your eyes look round. They're not! Bisous

Swank Heights said...

I love this! Always knew you were destined for great things.

Jude said...

Not a model.

Anonymous said...

The make up job they did on you makes you look really asian, and your face is looking all kinds of square. I thought the shoot was okay, but surprisingly felt the way you do your own make up (which I normally find amateur) is waay better than the way they chose to do it. And I agree with the previous poster. Your legs look weird. Not model like at all.

Fashionista* said...

love that picture
you look stunning

Stacy said...

i really love the second one, especially the shoes!

Feather said...

I commend you for allowing comments at all, considering how much negativity is going on here. But don't pay attention to the jealousy; you're beautiful, and sweet and funny in your video. I enjoy reading your blog each day. You are stunning.

amazing, amazing photos.
my fave outfit has to be the "cream of the crop"; love the crop top + high waisted skirt combo!

Anonymous said...

Hi, I think you do have a great style, It was interesting to hear your voice, I guess I already had a pre conceived voice inside my head of what you sound like, and it was NOTHING like your actually voice, I thought it would be deeper or something, anyway I'm from Australia and your still my icon.

Rumi is a cute girl but definitely not model like. Isn't she used stricktly to sell because she has a hot blog? I mean, the girl has great style and the reason they use her is because she works well as a muse.

erica said...

The black jacket in the photo is lovely!I'm an Italian teenagers and I've just found out your blog on Glamour magazin of this month, but I don't know how it works. Can someone help me?

Jenna said...

after seeing that video i think you should smile more in your photos. i´m not saying that your pics are not amazing! i love them but i would like to see you smile more like you smiled in the video :)

Anonymous said...

I'm surprised to see so many anon's pick you apart. Don't they realize how psychologically damaging high fashion models can be towards young girls and how unrealistic it is to be so perfectly thin??? I find it so refreshing to see such a naturally thin and toned physique in a fashion spread. And for the negative comments on the video...clearly just aimed at you personally and out of jealousy. There's a reason why you've gained so much attention in the fashion biz...and there's nothing they can do about it.

Anonymous said...

Yes Rumi is not a real model and never would be by today's model standards. But that's her whole appeal isn't it?! I think it's great to use a more normal looking girl in fashion spreads and advertising, and she still looks slim and pretty - models should be slightly more healthy looking imo, like Rummi. Well, that's my opinion, she makes a good muse and she's where she is today becuase of her blogging which we are all reading!! haha.

ps - yes you should show more smiley photos! smiles are great.
