Leave Us Kids Alone
Trilce @ Uno (Spain)
Obstacles. Not even talking about fences as usually most of us, if we
dare to say us, raise our own fences then live in a small imaginary
space made by ourselves that we almost never leave. But today's topic is
obstacles that naturally stands on our way(s) and we have to go
through, remove or in worst cases avoid, the latter being the less
interesting option since we never learn from them this way. The thing is
when you see obstacles you already found out you crossed your own
mental fences to... [Lire la suite]25-01-11
Winning Back The Crown
Anne Sophie Monrad @ Modelwerk (Germany)
Did the indie vibe already fade away and got old before maturing? Or
was it a well-performed answer from the good-old factories proving in
four days their ability to strike back as fast as lightnings? A lack of
energy on one side or a new era starting on the other? All we see is
that experience works only with wisdom and attacking back on the map
needs power to fuel this kind of fire. We're not going to comment more
than these abstract lines on Berlin Fashion Week... [Lire la suite]07-01-11
Face To Face
Her name screamed French
and we weren't mistaken: Louise is Born in Paris. But she lives in
Barcelona now where she keeps her studies going along her modeling
career and other passion: skating.
Got Uno's package before holidays and thought it would be our final post of the year. Could be Remix #3
then if we had written it in advance but didn't do and waited till now
to drop a few lines on the girls who caught our attention. The
intriguing ones.
Russy was born in China, in Qing Tian where most of Chinese people
living in... [Lire la suite]06-01-11
Rad
K1 Models opened their doors in June 2010 with a clear idea in mind
when it comes to models development and management. And scouting as
well, since the Prague based agency is organising scouting trips in
other countries around including rather unexplored areas such as
Bosnia. A real vision always helps to create a distinctive image and
innovative way to consider a model's career. Such as Radana, our first
featured girl from K1 Models, 5'10 (178) with quite a specific face to
say the least. More on the agency and the girl very... [Lire la suite]

Nothing To Hide
Val @ AM Model Management (Germany)
Snowy Monday morning, time is running faster than expected. Time in our
minds too, as a mix of impatience and excitement. Looking through the
window, looking back a little bit then looking forward to the future
full force. It's not even December and we'd love to see January knock
at the door. It's not even December on the calendar but it's already
German Vogue's Dezember issue that we are talking about today. A few
pages from an advertorial shot by Lado Alexi featuring Val,... [Lire la suite]21-11-10
Fourth
Annabelle Tsaboukas @ Women (NY)
Let's cut the chase: sorry for the drama and no, we're not done yet,
FDIB is still alive! Just a few busy weeks keeping us away from our
usual screen session. This next week is going to be another hectic one
so keep being patient a few more days but we should be back for good in
December and stay a little longer than Santa Claus. These days are
actually a very precious time for us first because of the 4th birthday
of FDIB, running full time since late autumn, early winter of... [Lire la suite]29-10-10
Release The Butterfly
Merethe Hopland @ Joy (Milan), Modelwerk (Hamburg), Elite (London)
Sometimes, you know, we are tired of looking like this, you know.
Doing what we do, the way we do it. We all need a breathe (or a
breeze?) of fresh air to re-energize ourselves and get the necessary
strength to move on to new horizons. It often takes a kick, a thrill or
whatever (leaving you the choice of the vocable here) to look to the
future. Getting back on tracks, back to basics yet never looking back
without denying what the legacy of... [Lire la suite]25-10-10
Exciting Times (Be Still, My Heart)
Kamila @ ML Studio (Poland)
It was roughly one month ago only, end of September just before we left
the office for five days in Paris. It was the introduction of Kamila,
newcomer at ML Studio. It was cute, quiet times and it's all frenzy and
excitement now after all went so fast for the Polish young woman
(19-years-old). Feels a bit strange and very exciting when we remembered
our title when we first wrote about her, Ride the Tide, since she quite
caught her wave and took the opportunity. Quite some... [Lire la suite]22-10-10
Do Not Know, Do Not Care
Hanna Samokhina @ Wilhelmina (NY)
Do not know, do not care. What tomorrow will be but always eager to be
the day after. Time goes by so slowly on one side and too fast when you
think of the next deadlines in your life. Making decisions is never an
easy task, it takes some extra strength and clear goals in mind to make the
most important ones. As nothing is ever granted, you always get to cope
with unexpected parameters and hopefully good surprises as well. Talking
about good surprises,... [Lire la suite]20-10-10
High Fly, Touch The Sky
Ana Gilca @ Mandarina (Romania), Premier (London)
Welcome to Premier says the Union Jack on the agency's homepage.
You got the right message and just can't wait to click on it. The mood
is set and the atmosphere takes you straight ahead to the other side of
the Channel. A short, instant imaginary trip that you want to turn into
reality in a glimpse and you remember nothing is ever impossible.
Absolutely nothing and that's what keeps you going on, keeps you awake
late at night and kicks you out of bed early in... [Lire la suite]
