Face To Face

Her name screamed French and we weren't mistaken: Louise is Born in Paris. But she lives in Barcelona now where she keeps her studies going along her modeling career and other passion: skating.

Got Uno's package before holidays and thought it would be our final post of the year. Could be Remix #3 then if we had written it in advance but didn't do and waited till now to drop a few lines on the girls who caught our attention. The intriguing ones.

Russy was born in China, in Qing Tian where most of Chinese people living in Spain come from. Music is for mood could be her anthem, going from her home country's melodies to whatever her ears may like. And they may like various kinds from various places since one of her other goals in life is to learn languages.

The actual package was huge and we didn't even get the boys part of it so our first immediate idea was to make a tiny selection of which models we believe are the faces of the new generation at Uno right now. The faces, exactly the point since the package's concept is directly taken from the magazine The Face's aesthetics, almost millimeter by millimeter.

Trilce likes mixes, of cultures and in music. Born in Ibiza with Australian and Peruvian roots, she listens to everything going from Jazz to The XX. Besides pursuing a modeling career with Uno, her real love in fashion is called photography so we might expect to see her on both sides of the lens.

If the words 'new faces' have lost their appeal over years for us, fashion will always be in need of a new wave, may it be a little less fast and a tad more carefully handled than in the past. That was another reason for us to focus on a small number of models to make sure the statement is clearer and so does the agency's image.

If Trilce shares her life between both sides of the camera, Irina would love to discover the other side of the mirror as her favorite book is Alice in Wonderland. And why not embodying Alice's role one day when there will be a Mexican sitcome on this theme? Belarus born from Russian mother and Italian father but living in Spain for years already ("All I know is I dream in Spanish"), she fancies the idea of becoming an actress one day. More in light-hearted comedies than on a red carpet, though.

Naturally we thought of those who totally embody this long and precious process everyone calls 'development'. From starting point to daily improvement as a career goes by, the main thread in development goes through the creation of the model's own image, then its transformation without losing what iniatilly created some appeal. Below are our four picks from the pack.
