Coolest Cover Girl, Indeed

It's been a long long time since Freja appears on the cover of Vogue. This is a pleasant surprise and seeing her looking so lovely with all the orange outfit and pink pastel colors on the cover is surely makes up for the long absence of covers that Freja had. Famously known for her androgyny style, this is something unexpected of Freja yet she manages to pull it off just amazingly. For a beauty like Freja, a simplistic pose like this is just more than enough.

Frejarina

Soft and hard edge. Only Freja can work this look. Love the amazing pose, the ease at making such a difficult movement. Two of the opposite combination match together. Freja and Craig McDean collaboration is superb. So loving it!

Unpredictable

Is Freja, Steven Meisel's latest muse? Enough said. Waiting for more surprises from Meisel x Freja. Maybe include Freja in more ad campaigns? Can't wait for the editorial though. This is just so surprising!

Karl Lagerfeld's Muse : Freja

It interests me how much Karl supports Freja. Freja is, after all, his current muse. A look back at all of Karl's collection - Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi and Chanel- shows that Freja walked almost every season for his entire collection. She was the Chanel bride twice for his couture collection and fronted the Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld campaigns a few times. Here's a summary of her runway for Karl's collection. Impressive!

Chanel Trio

Like many others, I don't get Baptiste's appeal but what Karl likes, he keeps. I am just glad that he has found some other muses that he adores at the moment- Freja, Lara Stone and Heidi Mount all included. Though Heidi was not in the final three, she still opens Chanel and was the Chanel girl past seasons.

And, I love how Karl is pairing Baptiste and Freja together. I have to say, Freja does look good paired with Baptiste.

Back at Paris

Toni Garrn is back, at Gareth Pugh- her first runway this season. Magdalena also appear at Gareth Pugh then Balenciaga after skipping Milan. Freja already had an impressive runways this season walking all three capitals-NY, London, Milan-now Paris, she's (also) at Gareth Pugh and Balenciaga. The only bad news this far is Jessica Stam will not be walking at Paris since she's back at NY because she's sick but her friend, model Heidi Mount is at Paris. Welcome back, girls!

Live from NYC

Sasha and Freja rocking it from Mario Testino's upward angle shooting. I like the collaboration of both models. They projecteed their individuality into it but somehow managed to balance each other. Sasha is more into the lense while Freja is looking at somewhere else and it works. I like how cool this editorial turns out to be. For more, click here.

Gucci-nism

The horrendous Gucci campaign which I loved more and more day by day seeing only Freja and Anja rocking it in every shot they were in. I don't get Raquel's poses which I thought were funnier than fierce but Raquel being her always pulled out the most outstanding poses. I have to say that she is the only one who's not afraid of doing something different though most of us (me included) do not know how to appreciate it. Natasha did fierce in all of her shots which did not fail her but seeing it in all 8 shots makes it a little boring. Abbey, Myf, Jacquetta, Dree and Jamie are more like sidekicks here. Poor Myf, she have to stand in the background doing the same poses. If I have not noticed, I would have thought she was just cut and paste into the background. Jamie does not fit into this campaign at all- she is lost in almost all of her pics. Jacquetta has the worst outfit and hairstyle. She looks like she belongs to the guys more than the girls. Abbey and Dree- where do I start? First of all, they're more like cameos in this ad, appearing in a shot and then disappeared and appear in another shot. Their presence is forgettable. To sum it all, a rather disappointing campaign given that the cast most of the top models. Gucci could have done much better and please, why don't they change the models' outfits. It's the same as in Pre-Fall where the same outfits were used in all of their ads. Please change this formula. Is it really working, I wonder.

Freja's Entrance

Enter The Dinner Dress: Vogue UK Sept 09

Another amazing editorial from Vogue UK featuring Freja. Freja is frequently used for Vogue UK editorials, most recently for last month issue. But, she has never once appear on their cover. Considering Freja is already a top model now, I still find it surprising that she has less Vogue covers than some newcomers like Anna Selezneva and Toni Garrn. I just hope that she do not have to wait as long as Anja Rubik only to be given attention recently after all the hardwork.
