Lemon stories

Olga Akhunova @ Women (Milan)

No, you weren't dreaming when you saw her with much lighter hair at Diane Von Furstenberg or Boss Orange  shows in Florence last month. The story that turned her into blonde is pretty cute but will remain secret. If it wasn't your imagination that saw blond hair on the runway, it's time for it to work and let's dream a little. Or simply enjoy the pictures. Digitals again. You might wonder what kind of mosquito bit us to be so in love with digitals and in that case our answer would be not one mosquito but a full army of them. Well, we're not going to start again, we already wrote a lot about it below and this is an article about Olga. Let's even say it's part one because we already have a part two in mind. Beginning with a lovely silver dress and a lovely penguin, a lovely  balcony on a lovely morning, a fresh urban atmosphere and natural light to put more emphasis on her new look. Creating her personal shade of blond that looks like guilded by the sun and close to a gorgeous natural strawberry-blond, she's stepping inside our very select group of models that strengthen their look by successfully changing it. Light is the touch, strong are the effects.

It's all about having the editorial look. Which means being a chameleon with attitude and fitting the atmosphere meanwhile bringing your own stamp. From the Italian sun to another one in Tokyo, Olga has been working relentless recently. With around forty pages of Vogue Pelle and more upcoming work to be released within the next months (countdowns again) you won't be able to overlook her this time, come this fall. And come what may. Models' stories are always rich of various little things, just like their faces they are blended with details that make them unforgettable. Highways are no longer the most coveted roads to a great career and we're more and more interested in these ones able to step outside and away from the beaten tracks, building their legend of their own. Exclusive bookings don't make you a superstar any longer, models have to be exclusive by themselves. It's a mix of work, will and - of course - unique face. Stay tuned for more of Olga here and soon. Digitals and double digit numbers of editorial pages.
