Antonella Graef @ Supreme (NY)

Let's talk about love. Love, love, love. All we're dreaming of. We're not going to tell you about blue ballons and midnight moons but a little story about twisted toons. Even if there is a bit of moonlight in the story too, pale dolls popping up at Givenchy, like out of the night in their dark outfits. We were lucky enough to catch up with Stasya and Ranya right after the show but Antonella was missing. A teaspoon of sadness on a glorious day, maybe. Happy that she opened the show, though. We saw her pretty spooky face on The Imagist last week and we knew the girl from Hype was getting hyped. Another Argentinian at Supreme but no deja vu, a perfect match for their new line-up. New looks, new vibes. We said, love and more love and that love grows higher when we see her newest pictures, newest test shots by Chadwick Tyler. The photographer who is able to capture that. That vibe from that girl.

Then plans changed within a minute. James Mahon tests suddenly arrived with a totally different style. From dark dreams to sunshine and another Antonella appeared to us. Or let's say it with the proper words: another side of Antonella. The sweeter side that goes hand in hand with her stormy, moody black and white shots by Chadwick. Her appeal is made of cuteness and austerity in the most geniune way. Our article took another turn again with Supreme's polaroids by Paul Rowland. The cherry on the top. We were blown away by her body language and expressions, raw refinement. It quickly reminded us of Chadwick's thoughts on models in photography, "whithout them we are hanging clothes on trees and horses". Models are the vital supplement of soul, charisma and personality. And no one embodies this better than Antonella right now.
