Fashion does it Better

Ginta Lapina @ Women (NY) Sweet music, early hours of the night. Bright colors and delicate shades. Ginta in Flair. We wish Ginta everywhere, everyday but just get delighted every single time she appears. Expected or unexpected, enough to keep our love alive, still rare and precious. Ginta by Beau Grealy who shot some of our most cherished editorials of the last two years, who catches his characters like only few can do and sets atmosphere with the same talent. It's quite simple, it's quite striking, it's quite stunning. Like... [Lire la suite]

Rianne Ten Haken @ Women (NY) and Karlie Kloss @ (Next) Dutch girls were the talk of the town this season and it's not without reason. Though, when you try to look a little closer or to dig a little deeper into the topic, you'll probably get the impression the "trend machine" is on again smashing everything on its way promoting a certain idea of beauty only. Are all these dutch beauties the same blond healthy teenagers or is there a place for singular looks. We might focus on the latter now and tell you a totally different... [Lire la suite]

Mirte Maas @ Women (NY) Women NY boosted her book and she was ready for the victory. Ready to walk, run and even fly if we have a look at her Spring 2010 bookings so far. A quick one is enough to get it: she books selective shows only but the number is raising every day with new names on her flawless showlist. Yesterday you could add Marc Jacobs on it and few hours earlier she opened Donna Karan. And two days before she opened another highly watched runway, Alexander Wang. Enough power here to drop a few lines even if we often pick... [Lire la suite]

Regina Feoktistova @ Women (NY) Now or later ? Now ? Later ? Now ? Later ? Nowlaternowlaternowlaternowlater ? And in the end it's no later than today. It's always a little dilemma to tell when we should drop a few lines on our favorite girls of the season (or, in Regina's case, beyond seasons, shows and trends). Shall we wait until the week is over (3-4 more days, that's all) or shoot ASAP ? We thought to follow the first way but thought twice and checked out Alexander Wang's pictures again then the answer became obvious. Regina... [Lire la suite]

Mirte Maas @ Women (NY) The girl who holds her head in a very singular way, with that expression telling you straight ahead "I dare you to look better than I do". Or maybe that's just an impression and the power of pictures making its effect. Truth is that Mirte is one of the most incredibly lovely model in town (NY this time, London last time) who drives everybody crazy from clients to creative. It took her a couple of days only to build a tremedous book with the help of some of our favorite photographers: Maxim... [Lire la suite]

  Mina Cvetkovic @ Women (NY) It's not the first time they work together. Mina Cvetkovic and photographer Beau Grealy. We would love any pictures with Mina and Beau's work is seriously growing on us as well (we also owe him some seriously stunning shots of Dasha Malygina, another perennial favorite of ours). Beau was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and works in New York. Mina looks like she was born and raised in South Detroit, like in one of our favorite movie-soundtracks. In a story simply entitled About A Girl,... [Lire la suite]

Auguste Abeliunaite @ Women (Milan) Last but not least. Eyes are starting to itch and time is running against us. But, somehow, we couldn't leave (and live) without a last piece on Auguste to kiss you goodnight. There is always so much to say about her but Karel Losenicky's new pictures are telling more than hundreds of words. Sleekness and depth hand in hand, a fragile intensity and an instinctive presence in front of the camera. The highest potentials are always innate. Brought to the fashion world by Vacatio Models and... [Lire la suite]

Alison Nix @ Women (NY) We received these pictures right before our trip to Berlin for the shows and were impatient to see her there. Met her on the first morning, so glad to see her again after so much time. Best backstage memories ever were almost all related to Alison. Berlin was hers for a couple of days and the peak of the week was certainly her appearance at Boss Orange s/s 10. With Gant, Michalsky and Schumacher also on her booking-list, she's clearly another success for her german agency Modelwerk. We support Alison since... [Lire la suite]

Toma Barkova @ Women (NY), Avant (Russia) Since she got rid of her braces, we heard she can't stop smiling. And we totally understand. Now, we would simply fall for a polaroid sheet of Toma with a huge smile upon her face. As far as we know, this might happen and we truly hope so but at this minute our latest love from Toma's portfolio is her new test by Maxim Repin. Styled with the help of James Tinnelly's very own bag of clothes. With Maxim's ability to capture a model's attitude and turn it into an atmosphere, this new... [Lire la suite]

                Regina Feoktistova @ Women (NY) If we couldn't see the American flag in the background on the first picture, we could imagine this story was shot on any shore. In Deauville or any northern beach of Germany or The Netherlands. Who knows. Maybe an imaginary place we have been dreaming of forever. Maybe Regina makes a real place (Cedar Beach) turn into a dream. Who knows. We can't swear anything and no truth is ever granted about photography as soon as you have someone to watch it...
