They're Back!

It's near the end of fashion month and at the final stop at Paris, these top models are making a return back at the runway for top designers and big fashion houses like Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, Loewe and John Galliano. Apart from Anna J who walks for Givenchy, Jessica Stam, Coco and Caroline Trentini starts off the Paris week walking for Giles who have a standout casting almost all the top models with a few surprises like Karoline Kurkova (who opened and closed) among many others. So glad to see these girls back on the runway. Hoping that all of them will show up at Chanel.

New Season New Haircut

Coco, Iekeliene, Freja, and Daul did it last season. This season,

Caroline Trentini goes with a bang a la Freja.


Irina Lazareanu chop off her hair a la Tao Okamoto.

Ali Stephens gets blonder and shorter shoulder length hair.


So does Alyona a la Coco.

Jones New York FW 09/10

This ad could have simply been mistaken for another Vogue US editorial. I like how they match Anja, Caroline, Liya and Isabeli into one campaign. This is very simple jump and pose but somehow I still find it appealing maybe because there's nothing to hate about this campaign. The models are good, the poses are not over the top and most of all- they showcases their clothes!

The girls are back

Apart from US Vogue favoring celebrities on its' cover, other Vogues has always featured models. This month (for the July/August issues) is no different either but the casting is a little surprising for me.



First is Vogue Italia with Kristen McMenamy on the cover. This is truly one of the best Vogue Italia cover. Kristen McMenamy truly shines this cover with her supermodel aura.




Anja Rubik used to be the model that is established but only appears on editorials, campaigns and walks down the runway every now and then. After being with this business for a few years, she only got her first Vogue cover for the Germany version on July last year. Then, Anja appeared as the cover girl for Vogue Korea, followed by Vogue Paris for the June/July issue and now she's on Vogue Nippon for the August issue. What's next? Vogue Italia?




Caroline Trentini walks exclusively for Yves Saint Laurent last season and then dissappeared to have her long deserved break. Since then. she's been laying low only to appear on US Vogue's models of the moment issue. It is around the right time that Vogue Brazil feature one of its' country brightest model on their own cover.




On another note, newcomer Kelsey van Mook went to Australia for its' fashion week and nabbed the cover at once. I actually like this cover despite it being plain. As you can see from this post, I favor white background photoshoots. It makes the models stand out than just let them drown into the background. Back to Kelsey, her biggest break is opening Givenchy last season. Could she be the top runway newcomer next season? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Vogue US : Pieced Together

Interesting to see the combination of Chanel Iman, Caroline Trentini, Lily Donaldson, Karlie Kloss and Anna Jagodzinska in a studio shoot. Usually there will only be two or three models involved.

Reflection in the mirror

Editors are going back to basics, using the most common thing (in this case: a mirror) to create an illusion. Even spring campaigns are using this kind of method. Is this another new trend?
Above are editorials from I-D April 2009 and Allure Jan 2009.

Latest model update : Caroline T is back, Raquel continues to dominate

Good news! Caroline Trentini and Raquel Zimmermann appeared in Christian Dior show today. Also spotted is Myf Shepherd and I read somewhere that Sasha is in Paris after all. I'm still worried about Freja and Coco though. Both did not appear at CD (even though they're the regulars there). I hope they will manage to show up at Chanel. Stay tuned for more updates!!

Raquel is back in Paris!

Thank God Raquel returns to the catwalk in Paris. She appears in the first day of Paris Fashion Week in Balmain. Still missing though are Coco Rocha ( she only appears in Dolce and Gabbana and Versace in Milan), Freja Beha Erichsen and Sasha Pivovarova in which all three did not walk as much show, they only totaled at 9 (even lesser than 10!). For the record, both Sasha and Freja walked for Pringle of Scotland. Sasha then continued at Alberta Ferretti, Prada and Bottega Veneta. Freja has only two- Burberry Prorsum and Etro. Not to forget, Caroline Trentini, she only did 1 show at Milan- Dolce and Gabbana. What??! 4 top models at only 8 shows?! Whatever happened to them I surely hope they will do better at Paris. Fingers crossed!!
