The Dutch and The American

I have just concluded my own Top 10 newcomers list. But, I can't help myself from thinking that this season, we have seen a lot more models from the Netherlands and America. That leads me to my personal favourite from this two countries- Nimue Smit and Karlie Kloss.

Karlie exploded onto the scene after being Calvin Klein exclusive and since then had graced numerous campaigns, covers and editorials. US Vogue couldn't agree better, they had been featuring Karlie in every single editorial lately. For the record, Karlie had 3 different editorials in the November issue of US Vogue. Nimue, on the other hand, had this cutesy look, very girlish and fairytale-like. But that hadn't stop her from being featured regularly for Italian Vogue. She was double exclusive for Prada and Miu Miu for Spring 2009 and was booked for the same season campaign for Prada.

Both girls are only 17 this year. Karlie started during the Spring Summer 2008 season while Nimue on 2009. Both girls are on the rise now and there's no stopping them. They just keep getting better!

Alberta Ferretti Fall Winter 09/10

Last fall ad campaign was great.This fall is second to that. New girls like Dorothea, Madisyn and Nimue together with Viktoriya shines in this campaign, all doing a great job at the same time without overshadowing the others. I love the concept and the clothes and the cast of these models. Everything is wonderful at Alberta Ferretti.

Separated at birth: Emma Watson and Nimue Smit

Nimue's young and new but at the same time have a mature, steady feel and manages to reach the top of modeling world in her first year. Emma is considered a veteran considering she's been acting since she's 11 and have grown in front of us. How she emulate her style from cute and sweet to mature, lady-like is a wonder. They both look-alike, in my opinion, and I love them both!

W: 100% Fashion

It's claim: 100% fashion. It's rumored to feature dozens of models. But other than these two group shots and a few others, I can clearly notice that this editorial is mainly focused on Karlie Kloss and Sigrid Argen.

Both of them certainly compliment each other. They look good together and kind of resemble each other. Karlie could be edgier and Sigrid on the softer part.

Then it shift to just focus on Sigrid..

or plain Karlie...

However, there's another dynamic duo spotted, Dorothea and Nimue (I kinda like this pairing.)

I love most of the shots featured- most of which I posted here- but I think they should give more exposure to the other girls. I am sure they did equally well but because there's a strain of only publishing a certain number of shots does not mean that all of them have to end up being nothing. I guess this is a harsh fashion world, anyways.

New Frontier : Karlie Kloss and Nimue Smit

on Feb 2009 issue of UK Vogue

my comment: "Although Karlie is the "veteran" here, Nimue totally outshines her.Maybe her "death stare" just doesn't work for this kind of editorial. A softer look like Nimue is more suitable."
