Twisting twig wears no wig

Daniela Kocianova @ Viva (Paris), Viva (London)

She was first known as the girl with short hair from Elite Prague. No wonder, her hairdo is pretty eye-catching and highlighting her silhouette. She's not the first model to try this but, seriously, who else looks so striking with short hair ? Who else get that extra touch of gamine vibe with 5'11 ? Count on your fingers if you can. And if it was only a matter of look... If you have the opportunity to meet her in backstage you'll discover the styling just goes hand in hand with a naturally laid-back attitude. Much energy without trying too hard. In one word we call her a stunner and we weren't the only ones. Her runway career basically started with Christopher Kane - one of the best castings in London and one of his best castings ever - and you might think it started right. Next one was no less than Armand Basi, add Vivienne Westwood Red Label or Josh Goot and get a high-quality quartette. This was for London and was already striking. What about Milan ? Marni. No need to say more, excepted maybe how her look worked again creating a delightful contrast with the colors and prints of her outfits. Then Paris, where we saw her in backstage at Marithé + François Girbaud. Not the show you would place right after Prada when it comes to career-makers, not even the kind you would compare to the picky Yohji Yamamoto, Ann Demeulemeester or our beloved Issey Miyake but maybe one of the most reliable, most daring and creative castings in Paris. Season after season, never afraid of booking new girls and always picking the right ones. Egle Tvirbutaite and Anna Selezneva can testify. Now let's simply concentrate on Daniela and only Daniela.
