Look like yourself, book by yourself
Melissa Tur @ Success (Paris)
If we don't mind the shrimp look, we don't mind a more sporty, big brows and fierce feline glance look too. There is enough place among the new generation of models for various kinds of beauty to express their own without cannibalising each other. We've seen it these last season, specific faces are being more successful than a particular trend. What do models like the tiny-blondie Viktoriya Sasonkina really have in common with the cheekbones-genius Natalia Chabanenko or the sharp-featured classic-beauty-with-a-(real)-twist Georgina Stojiljkovic ? Maybe the fact they are all signed with Women which means even more that models are selected for their individual look and potential. And that would mean the trend is to think without the notion of trends as the same goes for many agencies worldwide. In New York only, the number of outstanding, unique-looking models is becoming countless when you check the new faces at Trump, One or Supreme. Same in Europe. Success Models is maybe not the most talked-about agency in Paris but the recent additions to their new faces area is impressive. Girls as different as Regina Shnizer, Tine Maertens or Anna Kazakova (if you cross the Channel, just ask for Kaz, at Storm). Or Melissa from Switzerland, who's maybe our new favorite there and deserved a little feature after appearing in current Marie-Claire Italia by... Elina Kechicheva!
