On and On, All in All

Lais Ribeiro @ Joy Star System, Joy Model Management (Sao Paulo), Women Management (NY)

Finally. We have our opportunity to drop a few lines on Lais Ribeiro. We were watching her, day in day out since she appeared at her mother agency, Joy Star System. Obvious beauty, too striking not to get noticed in a glimpse yet seemed to came out of nowhere. So quick, so unexpected and so expectable at the same time as great debuts can be. We just had enough time to think of featuring her and she was already signed with Women, New York. And fashion weeks came again, and we thought it wasn't the best moment -- just a few days/weeks before. Better sit down, wait and see, eyes wide open. There was a lot to see, actually. Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Dior, Hermes...

After such a season, coverage gets inevitable. Either personal (on model-focused websites and blog) or more general (fashion pages, you cannot not spot her in a collection) and it's up to us then to decided if we need our own little entry on the girl. With Lais, that was an obvious thing again. No way we could overlook her rise and pass on an article, even a short report. She has worked on her book with some of our favorite photographers including Maxim Repin and Robert Nethery (some of their pictures are just above), also Christine Gatchalian or Silja Magg and we're sure to miss a few names we'd love to put here as well. Latest news are her appearance at the recent Christian Dior resort show and it's certainly not the last opportunity to say something. Just another golden brick in the wall.
