Fashion does it Better

Irina Miccoli @ New York Models She belongs to this kind of models that doesn't belong to any kind excepted their own. In their look and their career with the exact subtle touch of mystery that makes every single appearance so special. The ones you're waiting for eagerly, time after time. Everything, absolutely everything we've seen of her work so far had her unique style, blended with expressive faces and full of refinement. As for the timimg, we thought that seeing a new showcard of hers was a great opportunity to request more... [Lire la suite]

Viktoriya Sasonkina @ Women (NY) This is a last minute change on our schedule. We initially planned to leave at 5.30pm and we checked our mail inbox a last time before switching off the computer. 5.28pm and checking. Saw only one unread mail, read the title "Viktoriya @..." then knew this might be big. Rushed to open it. Opened it. Saw the dozen of !!!!. Scrolled down and saw VOGUE. Viktoriya. The glance, the gloss, the glass. The most unique cover for us. Ever.

Maria Filatova @ Sky Models (Russia) Big blue eyes and delicate lips were the first words that might have crossed our mind when we saw Maria's polaroids. A mix of poise and shyness with an uncanny balance between both. The kind of beauty you can't imagine or expect. You can just realise it exists once you're in front of her pictures. These pictures were actually the good surprise of today, the little piece of dream we were waiting for. A 5'9 lady looking fresh and shining on both her tests and polas was all we needed. All...

Masha Kirsanova @ Trump (NY) Balakina's got the lyrical appeal of her name, Masha's got the rythmic vibe to enhance the voltage and volume here right before fashion week begins. We often say models "can move" or "knows how to move in front of the camera". It's turning into sweet euphemisms when you see Masha on her digitals. You can always direct the model to pose like this or that. There are things one won't do while the other will. Very naturally. And if you want to know the truth, this poses are completely...

Balakina @ Women (NY) Balakina. Her name is  so musical, the sweetest melody you will hear in the fashion industry this fall. Starting right now in NY. Well, should have started yesterday evening here but as we're a bit too messy, we couldn't find back these polaroids. A good idea was probably to check our memory stick twice, a good that came one day later. Fortunately she didn't lose her freshness in these 24 hours and here comes a bright and brilliant Balakina, still just in time. The first model to be in our ears and... [Lire la suite]

Ataui Deng @ Trump (NY) She's one of the latest eye-catcher to come on the screen these last weeks. Who hasn't noticed this graceful, delicate silhouette in that flashy neon-apple-green dress ? Our current feeling is that she shares something with our beloved Natasha (just below). They obviously don't look alike yet we can't help thinking there's something striking in the combination of an extremely cute face and a tall, leggy silhouette. Which is the most attractive fact about both. Back to Ataui and only Ataui, the graceful... [Lire la suite]

   The choice wasn't easy. There was more girls - the complete package can be seen on Elite's blog - but we thought a little selection of our favorites (right now, things can change quite fast and some others probably have all it takes to grow on me in a near future). Seven hand-picked promising girls from Elite, some we were already watching for a few times like Sasha Gaye or Kelsea and some we've noticed at the very last minute like Maria Pia. The atmosphere is hectic here even we're miles and miles away from... [Lire la suite]

Alexandra @ Women (NY) Alexandra from... remember her ? We already did an article featuring some earlier tests from Russia. Now big time, big thing, Big Apple. Alexandra is in NY now. Right now. Today. And she has already shot these tests with Cameron Krone, another photographer we've quickly put on our favorite list and we'll be sure to show the work again and again. And the story he did with Alexandra seems just perfect for introducing her first steps in NY. It makes her first appearance there much more mysterious, from... [Lire la suite]

Isabelle Surmont @ Place Models (Germany) If you take a look at the current new faces popping up on London agencies' websites you'll probably find dozens of interesting, intriguing, incredible young models. Premier, Select, First, FM, Models1... you can check everywhere and this unique impression a few weeks before fashion week crosses the ocean to hit UK. One of them is Isabelle Surmont and we could easily have put more pictures of her as her portfolio at FM Agency is full of good ones (including eye-cacthing polas) and it's... [Lire la suite]

Dani Witt @ Wilhelmina (NY) Here she comes, Dani Witt. We dedicated an article to her only after seeing two lonely polaroids from her home country, Brazil and now she's making her mark in NY, leading a very refreshing new generation at Wilhelmina (we definitely love what's going on there and the latest new faces we've seen there are to fall for). Pictured by Jonathan Leder for LIPS, she's one of these girls everybody loves to work with, everybody adores and that's just no wonder. Her polas were enough to convince us right... [Lire la suite]
