Fashion does it Better

Polina Ponomareva @ VG Models (Russia) Alevtina Zyablitskaya @ VG Models (Russia) One month or even one month minus one day. June will be the last drop, the last step. Certainly no climax but a good month to post some extras or retrospective reviews, to plan some last collaborations with agencies we had a good time working with and hope we will have enough opportunities time wise to drop a note on everyone falling into this category. Thinking of all the ways to make these last plans happen but have to manage future projects first so... [Lire la suite]

        Tess @ Select (London) Überraschung... or shall we write surprise instead as our topic of the day is all about an agency from London? Somehow feeling like the german title has some extra power and sounds intriguing enough to fit the mood of the moment. There is a feeling of change, wind of change in this word that we couldn't not use today. Something powerful and unexpected, exactly what was needed here. And the young señorita (just another trick to keep this post more internationally intriguing), Tess is... [Lire la suite]

            Melle Muzea @ ID Model Management (The Netherlands) Seconds fall like drops, slowly and softly. Mental raindrops on a sunny day, looking for an escape or any kind of exit and if whoever could send us wings we would buy them eyes closed. When time passes too slowly, patience passes away and when suddenly times passes at a faster pace, you feel like only passing by in your own life. Contradictions all the way but that starts to sound usual. And contradictions can be a very good thing when topic... [Lire la suite]

        Hanna @ Team (Norway) There is no reason to go insane but some people go mental for pictures and dreams. Go frankly mad or sweet-little-crazy-daisy, doux-dingue as we say in french and would perfectly resume the latter state of mind. A little wild but not too much to get fierce and dangerous, with rich imagination. Sometimes beyond borders but who still cares. The link with this evening's topic? Practically none except it may refers to our short introduction written on Hanna, remembering the words we used... [Lire la suite]

    Lisanne @ Micha Models (The Netherlands) As fast as lightning and as quiet as blue sky on a summer day (it's only Spring and it's cloudy and windy now at that's not that bad): first time in a while we do it this way and want to see a sign, a little light and the end of the tunnel. We made the decision to feature Lisanne as soon as we got the materials in our mails and it hasn't been very usual lately. Not that others wouldn't have deserved it too and it could be more for the sake of the exercise than to mark she is that... [Lire la suite]

        Sveta @ Cherie Models (Russia) Keep the candle burning and let the flame grow higher. Everyday motto, every moment's battery and never give up. Follow your own vision and instinct to some point. That should be written on every (mother) agency's walls all over the room and that seems to be what Cherie Models does (though we haven't seen their walls yet). Shine a light and it will be alright, might sound too simple but simple things sometimes keep the world turning round (unless the Earth is flat, haven't... [Lire la suite]

Laura @ Micha Models (The Netherlands) She has... a secret smile. Let's cut the chase and put it straight, there is something absolutely mysterious about Laura, newest of the newcomers at Micha Models (twice in a row). Can you feel it? Can't you see it? Secret smile. In the eyes and on her lips, some kind of personal vibe that keeps your eyes looking at her pictures, taken by Yorick Nubé (also featured twice on our space this week). And probably his very natural style and the importance he puts in really portraying his models play... [Lire la suite]

      Jamilla @ Micha Models (The Netherlands) This game can't last forever. Why? Because everything needs to end or transform. Morph. And who knows in which form FDIB will morph tomorrow. Happy mood on one hand, bittersweet on the other. And who knows (God knows?) what will be the ending. Hope for some fireworks but somehow we are still far enough from the end not to think or talk about it. And here comes Jamilla from Micha Models, in the Netherlands. Here comes another Dutch blondie that doesn't look like other dutch... [Lire la suite]

    Veerle @ Bloom (The Netherlands) We could talk about faces but somehow strategies offer more opportunity to write and discuss. And everytime we drop a line on Bloom Management, the young Dutch boutique, a few words on the strategy behind the agency is the very best part. You've got to read it when we first featured Daphne and had another slice of the story when came the two posts we did on Rosanne. And key-word remainds the same: precision. Miles away from randomness in management you could find in bigger firms (and... [Lire la suite]

        Ruxanda @ Mandarina (Romania), Nathalie (Paris) No drumrolls and trumpets, no violins but a couple of lyrics and a few fresh pictures. Polaroids or digital for instance and the next one from Mandarina Models on our list. After two years following the young Romanian agency and its rise among the international modeling landscape, it's a pleasure to showcase another piece of its story. Relentless scouting going hand in hand with aggressive and smart policy when it comes to placements and management are a... [Lire la suite]
