TMSRRE part 11: Nimue
Nimue Smit @ Women (Milan)
There were many girls from Women at Prada but the greatest surprise was obviously Nimue. Not only a surprise per se, as a part of the casting. Also an impressive runway performance you might not expect first when you see her polaroids. Checking her tests could give you a better clue, a small preview of Nimue's potential. Still, they don't show how serious and almost mature she was going to look at Prada. We know now it was a good decision to wait for fall before writing a few lines on her. We had the portfolio since this summer and were in love with the innocence of her digitals and the playful mood of her tests. Though, as thrilling as it looks, it would have turned into an uncomplete portrait of a girl who's definitely much more than a cute doll. We're totally smitten by how she puts her heart and soul in her walk and expression on the runway. Serious and seriously impressive. Prada's girls are always highly watched, a multi-tasked newcomer is to watch even more carefully. What about a precious little jewel?
