TMSRRE part 2: Valeria
Valeria Dmitrienko @ Women (NY)
It's hard to stamp her as this kind of beauty or that type of model. It's hard to say where she exactly belongs and she probably doesn't belong anywhere. Anyway. To make it easier to understand, we believe she embodies - perfectly - a timeless version of beauty. Timeless in terms of seasons, decades, centuries. You could find some reminiscences of past icons or even references to futuristic visions in the different looks we saw of her. The secret might be (in) the cheekbones. It's often where it all begins and it's never the same story. Each model his own cheekbone story, sometimes as a way to strengthen the eyes, sometimes to balance the jawline. Sometimes as a little extra within a gorgeous forehead+dark brows+lighter hair formula (extra-light brows/hair as tomorrow's topic ?). Might be a suitable description for Valeria even if it sticks to the strict domain of cold analysis. With feelings it turns to something like "cheeky" beauty, relying on the sound and signification of that word. A sensible yet sensitive version would rather stamp her (finally we have a proper word!) as sophisticated. And as we can consider sophistication as a very precious quality to book selective shows. Well, her runway mileage - so far - seems to agree with that, two selective bookings. The next two will be... selective too.
