Fashion does it Better

Kristy Kaurova @ Major (NY) Here is what we wrote in case it happens. Wanted to write something on Kristy again for so long it seems. Since these colorful pictures (ethereal Kristy going through pastels and bold touches) and since we met her on a Summer evening in Paris (also with Major). Wanted to write. When we heard she was in town for the shows this season, we thought the opportunity was sooner than ever and requested some digitals as fast as we could. Major sent us a couple including that gorgeous one above. Jaw dropping. Then... [Lire la suite]

    Keke @ Wilhelmina (NY) She made her marks first with her incredible showcard. Simple concept that went straight to the point: a fab face and a sporty, leggy, slender silhouette. The editorial kind with the runway legs and the magic could start. And actually started at Rag & Bone while the brand was having its best casting in seasons. Sleek and special then highly surprising. Since that moment, we wrote down Keke's name on our potential TMSRRE-girls list. To be completely honest, her face is too unforgettable... [Lire la suite]

    Lakshmi Menon @ Ford (NY) Some agencies want their girls to get their slice of spotlights even before the shows begin. Some others are quite quick to update us even during the rush and a few ones only consider it worth to tell us something when the shows are over for a little while. Ford NY belongs to none of these groups, their strategy includes both the efficiency of releasing the info in time and the wisdom of those who know to wait until the perfect moment. To tell it clearly: never too early, never too... [Lire la suite]

Paulina Nierodzik @ Mango (Poland), Next (NY) She walks and it walks. In French we use that idiomatic expression to say something is going well - ça marche, literally it walks. French words that brings back some good old memories from Paris, back to the day we met Paulina Nierodzik for the first time, backstage at Vivienne Westwood. The young lady, found and cherished by Next Paris went her own way little by little, step by step before arriving in New York. First season, hopes reloaded and better beware if you didn't believe in... [Lire la suite]

      Valerija Kelava @ Next Casting at Rodarte was the best surprise of the week so far. Extended. Expensive. Several beauty types, contrasts working hand in hand, daring choices. All the ingredients were here and even if we're able to spot them one by one it still smells like magic. Just as the whole atmosphere or the styling did. First of all it was the first opportunity to see Viktoriya Sasonkina walking this season. Then, Rodarte was the place where a few girls took off. Finally. Juana Burga looked sensational...

Mirte Maas @ Women (NY) Women NY boosted her book and she was ready for the victory. Ready to walk, run and even fly if we have a look at her Spring 2010 bookings so far. A quick one is enough to get it: she books selective shows only but the number is raising every day with new names on her flawless showlist. Yesterday you could add Marc Jacobs on it and few hours earlier she opened Donna Karan. And two days before she opened another highly watched runway, Alexander Wang. Enough power here to drop a few lines even if we often pick... [Lire la suite]

      Svieta Nemcova @ Women Direct (NY), Women (Milan) She's always the girl we see on the runway or in a magazine and immediately think "she's so neat, she's so fresh" before realising it's still the same Svieta who gives us accelerated heartbeats season after season. A good career often starts when a good eye noticed a promising girl (remember how Svieta started) then it might take some unexpected ways but great girls always find their path and she's no exception. She just opened Elise Øverland (dazzling... [Lire la suite]

Regina Feoktistova @ Women (NY) Now or later ? Now ? Later ? Now ? Later ? Nowlaternowlaternowlaternowlater ? And in the end it's no later than today. It's always a little dilemma to tell when we should drop a few lines on our favorite girls of the season (or, in Regina's case, beyond seasons, shows and trends). Shall we wait until the week is over (3-4 more days, that's all) or shoot ASAP ? We thought to follow the first way but thought twice and checked out Alexander Wang's pictures again then the answer became obvious. Regina... [Lire la suite]

    Diana Tanaeva @ Trump (NY) Vivienne Tam offered us once again a panoramic vision of the new faces in town. We always love that casting for unveiling some of the most talented newcomers of New York and this season is no exception with an extended bunch of our favorites getting a spot there: Stasya, Daniela, Alisa, Anastasia, Anne Sophie, Romana, Wiktoria and the list could go on forever. Though, one of the most impressive is certainly Diana Tanaeva, the 5'11 dark brunette who caught our attention even before the season... [Lire la suite]

          Hawa and Fatima @ Ice (Milan) We introduced Hawa yesterday and had the feeling you would like to see more of her. So, here is more and a little more than more. We first noticed Fatima a few months ago when she joined Ice Models in Milan. Now in town with extra-fresh polaroids, we thought the opportunity to feature her was perfect and the combo with Hawa looks beyond awesome, each bringing her very own touch to the polas they shot together. Hawa (5'10) and Fatima (5'9"5) aren't only among the... [Lire la suite]
