Fashion does it Better

    Kylie Bisutti by Jonathan Leder Before the Gig Life is not easy but... can be funny. Got some news from Jonathan Leder last night, new pictures with Victoria's Secret contest winner Kylie Bisutti. Went to the coffee machine and back to the computer, got another mail. Insider tips on Prada's casting. News from the previous evening weren't relevant as Prada's plans changed and the new news (if we can say so) were about VS girls walking the show in Milan tonight. Thought of Jonathan's mail, thought of Kylie's... [Lire la suite]

Alexa Yudina and Irina Kazhamiakina @ Women (NY), the AL girls were beyond playful at Costello Tagliapetra. Jacquelyn Jablonski @ Ford (NY), Ford's force and FDIB's favorite at VPL Elena Ivanova @ Wilhelmina (NY), becoming one of our absolute favorites these days -- strong features, fragile look at Thuy Georgia Hilmer @ Next (NY), another favorite featured a few days ago, loved her shirt (again!) at VPL Bregje Heinen @ Women Direct (NY), Micha's muse is stealing spotlights even when she's lost in her thoughts at VPL Alina Krasina...

    Gigi and Irena @ Wilhelmina (NY) Bradford Gregory is one of our favorite from the new generation of photographers in NY and a regularly featured artist on FDIB. Sounds good, so far. But even the most talented people can experience some tough moments. As Bradford says himself, what happened sounds totally crazy but happened. "I was robbed at gunpoint by 3 guys" were the first words to catch our attention reading his mail and we started get quite worried. "It was insane!  Fortunately I came out... [Lire la suite]

Gwen Loos @ Marilyn (NY) Fashion Does It Better: What role plays inspiration in your work and what's the weight of technique in the process ? Chadwick Tyler: A basic requirement for any good photographer, of course, is that they have good technique, that they know how to take a picture, that they know how to manipulate light and that they understand composition. But as so many students of prestigious art schools learn, there are scores of people who can master good technique. One also needs a profound source of inspiration.... [Lire la suite]

Marina Serbul @ Mandarina (Romania), IMG (Paris) Casual mood plus effortleslly elegant young lady will most likely give you the epitome of casual chic and that's exactly what happened when Marina arrived in Paris. Enjoying the perks of working in a parisian flat in front of Alexandre Brunet's camera, the dark blond sweetie took her time to enhance her palette of expressions and work out her English level before traveling. And the results are just amazing on every front. Book is getting thicker, skills are getting stronger...... [Lire la suite]

Nanou Vandecruys @ Silent (Paris) With cheekbones to fall for, jawline you may never forget and that strong, distant gaze - colder than ice - Nanou is the girl you notice within the second she enters your sight regardless it is on glossy paper, on coveted catwalks or hanging around backstage. And the world could be tossing and turning, nothing changes Silent's silent policy: no needs for words, just groundbreaking facts. Eric Guillemain, captured both the girl's appeal and the agency's strategy in one iconic shot. Isn't this all we... [Lire la suite]

        Shelby Truax @ The Agency AZ (USA) A photographer's word will always have its own weight, no matter if he shot Vogue last week or did some tests for an mother agent's latest find. A photographer's vision will always find some echo here as we're always obsessed by capturing the essence of a new model's potential regardless if the girl will be CK's next exclusive campaign-girl or just the lensman's very own muse. We love when this subtle teamwork between the photographer and his model slightly shows... [Lire la suite]

        Alena Smolyaruk @ Major (NY) A muse in making. How does this start, how often and so on. Questions left without answers, inspiration never tells where its roots are. Too far, too close. Whatever. Inspiration can come fast as a lightning or slowly, slowly, slowly (but taking you by storm when you clearly don't expect it at all). That's why working closely with photographers is always a plus for us, their vision of new girls in town will always be slightly different from ours and even from the agent's.... [Lire la suite]

Meghan Collison @ Supreme (NY) A boy and a girl, a young man and a young woman, a man and a woman. And so on. Honestly, not our favorite topic as you might know we are entirely devoted to female models and our page is hundred percent dedicated to them. So, tonight we'll talk about a different combo as our usual multi-girls editorials, even more as the pictures above are taken from Levi's European campaign (and you might have noticed we don't feature many campaigns). And, as it's not mentioned under the picture, the... [Lire la suite]

Ranya Mordanova @ Supreme (NY) New York fashion week is already over, last shows took place last night (Paris time) and the frenzy should slow down in town and cross the ocean to hit London (already done). Good surprises, less good surprises, little fashion shocks and good moments following the whole thing from here that might turn into sweet memories, especially as we take care of our soundtrack as well. Won't reveal the beat, though, apart from heartbeats maybe. One thing is sure, this morning we woke up with make-up while... [Lire la suite]
