Special Effects

Gosh, I lurrrve black and white.
Especially with special effects like this Jill Stuart ad.
And I love how the brand's name in pastel pink. It totally stands out.

Notice the focus on the models' expression as extension to their hair? It's actually the same as their head shots but the geniuses at Jill Stuart just make it much striking by adding some special effects.
Loving the killer pose, the killer expression and the most outstanding newcomers- Hannah Holman and Frida (they're my top ten, remember?). I'm just so happy that they're doing so well.

Say Hello to Frida

Meet Frida Gustavsson, fresh from Fall Haute Couture season. This 16 years old is the new face at IMG Paris, Milan and London and her mother agency is Stockholmsgruppen. Frida is from Sweden and was recently picked to open the Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2009 show.

She has this kind of sweet, gentle and delicate look, so soft that you're afraid of hurting her. Frida's look have the whole package that says model- her baby doll eyes, clean fair complexion, sharp cheekbones, pouty lips and her pointy elfin ear which is her current trademark. She is not represented by any agency in New York yet but I'm sure that IMG will put her under their wings not long from now. Whether she will follow Jac's footsteps as the breakthrough model come September, that we'll just have to wait and see.
