Fashion does it Better

Ilse Suvaal @ Models In Company (The Netherlands), DNA (NY) Welcome back on FDIB Ilse! We were smitten by her double darkness when her mother agency Models In Company introduced us to her. Dark hair, dark eyes etc. Sweet darkness as there is nothing aggressive in her looks, just something naturally impressive. Ilse is now signed with DNA and currently in New York, her latest tests are just released and were shot by the one and only Maxim Repin (who already shot two other DNA stunners, Charlotte Pallister and Victoria Anderson)....

      Victoria Anderson @ DNA (NY) Victoria Anderson. Last time we featured her was probably with some editorial pieces by Ben Watts from some magazines we don't remember the name (but good ones for sure). Now her latest pictures are just released, shot by Maxim Repin who was utterly impressed by the girl (5'9, impish gaze, unusual look). Some soft-rocking poses, fierce and distant expressions in front of his camera and the magic works for real. Careers take some time for sure but when time is on your side...

Merel @ Models In Company (The Netherlands) We featured Merel twice (check here and there) when she was just beginning. Since these days (not so long ago) she has never stopped, never stopped improving as well. From Material Girl to her recent work she did in Tokyo above (with Bravo Models). She's just back from her trip and getting ready for the next one, to New York this time where she's signed with DNA just like another stunning new face from Models In Company, Ilse. Merel hasn't lost anything of her unusual cuteness and... [Lire la suite]

Charlotte Pallister @ DNA (NY) When we quickly saw her last March during fashion week in Paris it was like a fast blast of the past. And a quick glimpse into the future. Near future ? The future is now and in NY. Charlotte is signed with DNA and has recently refreshed her portfolio with some of the most promising photographers of their era. Including this series by Maxim Repin who was already featured here with his tests shots of Jana Kay and Sacha Blue, both at IMG.  Capturing the girls' very personal potential isn't...

    Anna De Rijk @ Viva (Paris), Viva (London), Women (Milan), DNA (NY) She's one of the best surprise (not a complete surprise as we already knew since F/W 09-10 she's got some very good eyes standing behind her) of the Resort collections, opening Prada then walking Miu Miu. The most delicate chin of the whole fashion world is getting more popular everyday and Anna is gathering a very impressive list of jobs these days. It doesn't stop with resort runways and even if it did, it would already be quite huge. But truth is... [Lire la suite]

Queeny Van Der Zande @ Viva (Paris)Kelli Lumi @ DNA (NY) Nadia Serlidou @ Viva (Paris) Skye Stracke @ DNA (NY), Viva (Paris) Viva and DNA. Paris and NY. The two agencies are well-know for some successful models they share and we could drop a few names here. They would ring a bell, both as icons from glorious past eras or as today's most sought-after faces. What about tomorrow ? Who are the iconic girls from Viva, from DNA or from Viva and DNA together ? We could also tell about Elise Helene, our favorite redhead of the moment... [Lire la suite]

    Yana @ DNA (NY) Yana belongs to the new generation at DNA, Maxim Repin belongs to the next generation of photographers. And here is what happens when both work together. Maxim just did her latest tests, changing a little his style. It's raw but sleek, very welcome for a girl like Yana (and an agency like DNA). Aesthetics match. Perfectly. It reminds us of the interveiw we did a few months ago with Maxim who told us about his focuses and experiences, what he's looking for and what he's striving for. Now and in the... [Lire la suite]

  Laura Blokhina @ Viva (Paris), Viva (London), Why Not (Milan), DNA (NY) She didn't break record this season on the runway but she's safe and steady in her editorial career. Safe ? Rather say daring as her work is often tongue-in-cheek and visually striking. As her latest piece in current Mixte by Txema Yeste, style by Francesco Sourigues. Seems the mag likes her and even more. Actually to book her once for an editorial is to love her and magazines remain faithful to Laura, issue after issue. That's no wonder when... [Lire la suite]

      Anna De Rijk @ Paparazzi (Amsterdam), Women (Milan), Viva (Paris), Viva (London), DNA (NY) We will never forget her from backstage almost one year ago. Was during Couture fashion week in Paris, Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The show was Gardem and it was quite a great opportunity to meet with new girls that have been blossoming step by step since that moment. In Anna's case it spells Elle US earlier this year and right now A4 shot by Jonathan Leder. We're still waiting for it to be release here but the preview is... [Lire la suite]

Zuzana Gregorova @ Viva (London), Viva (Paris), Why Not (Milan), DNA (NY) Didn't we say yesterday and the day before we love Exit girls ? Maybe here is the first of all of them. The first ever and still our current favorite. Jaws, eyes and brows you can't forget. We've never forgotten and her name is probably the one we wrote the most in our press reviews. Busy girls with editorials and covers every months on french and italian magazines mostly. Runways seem to be another place she can call home. While recent editorials include... [Lire la suite]
