RedPoppy's Exclusive Interview with Supermodel Maayan Keret

Israeli born redhead supermodel Maayan Keret lit up the fashion runways of top designers including Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Lacroix in the 1990's. Lucky for us she is back in full force via Verbmodels, and in addition to her gorgeous red tresses she's also bringing along an insatiable lust for life, motherhood, modeling, and a slew of new adventures coming her way. Best of all Maayan has graciously answered some of our most pressing redhead questions!...

What was it like growing up in Israel as a natural redhead?
It wasn't easy... as a child lots of kids called me in different names like "Giraffe" since I was too tall, freckled & redhead, but as I was a teenager I found the people who liked my colour & started to understand that being special is something I like & it fits me. Also growing up in a sunny country with a very pale skin wasn't a bingo, I get burned for a few times & couldn't stay in the sun too long as the other kids.

Are there certain colors you are drawn to which make you feel fabulous?
I like all the colours, I wear even pink & orange. I think everything can fit, but the best for me is green or red.

Please share with us some of your memories from your time with legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent.
Yves Saint Laurent- when I worked with him he was already not in his best... but I could see his desire through his eyes. He had a dog with him all the time, he was very quiet & concentrated on the clothes. We have never spoken so much but we have had some magic moments together.

Red hair and curls is a fierce combination. Which products do you use to keep your hair looking gorgeous?
I try to keep it as natural I can, I use moisture cream for my hair every day which I change every few months so that way It works better. During Winter time I put olive oil for two hours, sometimes.

How has working in the fashion world influenced your personal style and how you dress in the morning?
I've learned a lot from the fashion people, it gave me a lot of ideas & interest. I change my style, sometimes I just wear jeans or black pants & a simple shirt. People can always see what I'm going through in my personal life in the way I dress.

You're a mother, artist, writer, producer, traveler, and lecturer. What's your advice to other women who want to find balance in their personal and creative lives?
I think there are few important things for me - one is to plan my time efficiency so that I can do all different things (& not to be lazy). Second is to let myself always be open to different & new things, to ask myself questions all the time so I can see what I really want to do now, not be afraid of changes & not to think of what other people think or what it looks like.

Model Judith Bedard & A Redhead Renaissance

A friend of mine sent over a recent Guardian UK article about gap teeth and unconventional looks becoming the sought after 'face' of today's beauty. Well it's about blooming time!! While I'm not expecting Ford Models to send out their latest model cards with my freckled photogenic face on them,  this is fabulous news for redheads who are often relegated to backup singer status. In fact the best part of the article begins with this line: "Redheads are enjoying a renaissance in fashion..." So let's continue to spotlight redhead beauty with a menswear inspired editorial for SOMA Magazine starring Canadian model Judith Bedard.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2011:New York Fashion Week

A second after Marc Jacobs' Spring 2011 showing ended last night amid a flurry of frizzy-haired and voluminously-clad models circa 1970's, the Twitter universe was abuzz with a million one liners referencing MJ and the popular disco era such as 'That '70's show, A touch of the Rive Gauche, Paging Jodie Foster in 'Taxi Driver'...
The beauty of the collection was very much a burned golden-hued visionary ode to Yves Saint Laurent, Missoni, even Sonia Rykiel, with gorgeous frizzy manes (look at all those redheads!!!) topping off flowy and gauzy drop-waisted dresses, massive flower corsages, plumed neck wear, and delicate patterned knits. I don't love the entire collection, though, I'm still actually making up my mind about that. The colorful satin interlude in the lineup was my least favorite, but the colors overall reminded me of a warm Arizona dessert...and that's always a good thing. Some of my favorite looks:
