Fashion does it Better

She surely is no giraffe but shouldn't face too many issues to touch the sky. Lina Stensjø Simonsen is the sensation of this ending week after making a remarkable (and noticed) appearance on Gucci's runway. And competition was there too: many of the models walking the show were rather new and quality was... literally walking along them. But Lina stood out from the gorgeous crowd and could be spotted backstage on pictures worth editorial pages. Talking about printwork, the most heartbreaking hearbreaker of the moment (since she's...

      Caterina Ravaglia @ Elite (Milan, Paris) Every show season has its high and low moments and to be sincere with you readers, this one was full of radical changes of mood going from total boredom to the highest hopes. The most important might be to find a balance and let the rare moment of geniune excitement become inspirations for the future. Every little detail we notice that can strengthen our vision is worth to take as good sign and every moment that could lower our faith should be skipped as fast as we can... [Lire la suite]

          Lindsey Wixson @ Marilyn (NY) Fashion week frenzy goes on and it seems we keep heading to another direction... to get back to it later. First interesting things, first expectations (not ours) coming true or not, first days and a few more ahead of everyone before the craziness flies to London and so on. We are rather turning to our latest magazine buys than commenting on first shows results and actually we found much more to say on AnOther Magazine than on what's happening on the runways so far....

Ophelie Rupp @ M Management (Paris) Went to the bookstore by chance because the train station is close to the office and they sell good sandwiches. Nice idea but we came back with some even nicer. With all the good stories from good magazines we found lately, with the fashion frenzy on worldwide runways leaving less place for features on new faces, we thought a good big editorial topic would be good. Opening the ball is Ophelie's picture taken from Another Magazine, dressed as a soccer-loving ballerina, shot by Charles Fréger and... [Lire la suite]

        Rasa Zukauskaite @ Next Rasa on the radar. Our radar too. Days and nights. She was the heart of one of our late-at-night convo yesterday. That Prada video is the most delightful thing we've watched in ages and her other one from Love wasn't bad at all. What's the secret behind Rasa's rise. Only time will tell how high she'll go and how far she'll fly but for now she's going as fast as the speed of light. The right girl at the right place. Right time too, even if sometimes it seems she got rid of time. Not... [Lire la suite]

Rasa Zukauskaite & Karmen Pedaru @ Next She's undercover. Well, in this story Rasa's hiding a bit in Karmen's shadows but in real life (runway life to be honest), she's far from hiding at all. Only girl having two spreads here today, Numéro and Another Magazine and working out both so brilliantly, you wouldn't even guess the girl is just making her first steps in high fashion. Prada video, Love video, several coveted catwalks... the list gets longer and the love gets strong. Everyday. She may appear as quite shy or even... [Lire la suite]

        Jacquelyn Jablonski @ Ford (NY) We don't know if we should write about Jacquelyn as a personal favorite or as one of the most sensational and talented models of these last few years. We think it will be both as we're quite unable not to go personal at a certain level. Let's start with obvious facts, though: her showlist from NY reached an unmatched level when it comes to high quality runway, opening quite a bunch of them (including Philosophy). To put it simple she walked them all, from Marc to Zac and... [Lire la suite]

        Jamie Bochert @ Women (NY) Didn't watch her rise back to her early days but didn't wait to jump of joy when she opened Marc Jacobs a few seasons ago. Since then, Jamie's career just goes by one name: expensive. From the shock of her runway appearances to the unlimited chic of her editorial stuff, Jamie just rules. Vogue Italia covers, pages in Purple and this four pieces from Another Magazine (definitely adore that issue, if you hadn't already understood this). Shot by Dan Jackson and styled by Mattias...

    Ranya Mordanova @ Avant (Russia), Supreme (NY), Women (Paris, Milan), Tess (London) It takes a good model to enhance a collection or even just an outfit. It takes to this girl to be absolutely multi-tasked to let the magic happen a few minutes on the catwalk or on glossy paper for a little longer. It takes a lot, really. But what we found in current issue of Another Magazine might go far beyond. It takes to be one in a million to model an atmosphere, to tell a story and get into a designer's or a label's mood. Ranya... [Lire la suite]

      Jenny Sinkaberg @ IMG First days in Paris, last season. Convo at an agency, heard from a reliable mouth: "I like Jenny as a person but she's not my type, let's see if she'll work well this week". Week went by, shows went on. Balenciaga, Kenzo, Sonia Rykiel, Valentino and Miu Miu to finish her season, quite a week to remember for the unusual blonde... Last night in Paris, last season. Dinner with friends, agents, scouts and a crazy dog barking an extended version of Singing in the Rain (or is it the other way... [Lire la suite]
