the Clotheshorse

What's with Lindsey Wixson?

2010-01-14T01:22:00.004-07:00

Upon my return to The Clotheshorse, I felt it very needed to discuss the instant but unlikely phenom that is Marilyn's Lindsey Wixson. Months ago, despite being rejected by nearly every agency in New York, the rumour began to spread that Miss Wixson had booked Italian Vogue with Steven Meisel. The story never arrived, but at that instant people began to wonder, who is this girl with the lanky body and bee-stung lips, and should they take a second glance?
It was announced then that Lindsey, who was found by Vision LA, was now with Marilyns in New York. From then, it was a avalanche of prestigious bookings that ended in a European Prada/Miu Miu exclusive and landing the elusive campaign for Miu Miu by Mert and Marcus.

With today's arrival of the Campaign, we couldn't be more impressed, and i find it to be a welcome relief amongst the safe choices and boring ideas of the spring 2010 season. We don't feel Lindsey will be the next Daria or Gemma, but we think for now, she's current and she's ready to do what she can to leave her mark on the fleeting world of high fashion models
Keep both your eyes on this gorgeous American's unique face. Girls like this don't come around daily...

The Boy Who Cried Blogger

2009-12-22T15:38:00.001-07:00

I know I've written the classic "I'm back" post many times now. I feel like I'm beginning to become the boy who cried blogger. But i promise, come the new year, The Clotheshorse will be back in full swing! Get ready modelizers...

Who's Next? Ciara Tucker

2009-05-06T10:27:00.002-06:00

It's not often that you come across a face like Ciara, first scouted almost two years ago, it's obvious that her time developing has done some serious good. Ciara is now with IMG worldwide. AMAZING. Keep watch for this one!

Model Update: Suzie and Julia

2008-12-12T18:02:00.004-07:00

On the Clotheshorse, one of our regular features is "what's next". We feature girls that we find interesting and think that they have the potential to be successful in this ever crazy industry. In this last week, it was brought to our attention that some of our first finds, have had some recent, major developments. Let us update you on Suzie and Julia...
We featured Suzie Bird back in March, right after she appeared on the development board of Elite Paris. She has since been signed with Supreme in NY and if history serves right, Suzie is about to have a major season.

The freckled Julia Shvets was one of our first finds back in February, and off to ONE she goes. Julia has the presence, height, look and now the management to make her legend.

We've got our eyes on these off beauties, we sense this is only the beginning. Keeps watch...

Who's Next? Emma Beam

2008-12-11T09:14:00.003-07:00

Not entirely new, Emma Beam was one that really stood out last season. Some may not get it yet, but this Beam is brilliant!

I'm thinking next season will belong to this 5'11" Elite wonder, stay tuned...

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Katrin

2008-12-05T00:52:00.002-07:00

1. Katrin... Women

Women's Katrin Thormann is the strongest newcomer coming out of Spring 2009. 2 Months since the shows have ended and Katrin has already been published in Dazed and Confused (cover), Italian Vogue (cover), Harper's Bazaar and Vogue Nippon. Her show season was incredible, New York saw Marc, Calvin, Proenza, Anna Sui and Narciso. In Milan she walked for Dolce, Prada and opened Marni and in Paris Katrin was in Miu Miu, Vuitton, Chanel, Givenchy and Mcqueen. Not too shabby for a first season girl coming from nothing. This season has been kind to Katrin as Steven Meisel, who shot her Italian Vogue cover, has picked her up for both his campaigns for Prada and Mulberry. Katrin is one girl who has really risen above the masses, incredible.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Anya

2008-12-03T00:28:00.002-07:00

2. Anya... Marilyn

Boasting one of the most impressive first season show records in history and the worlds most incredible models body, Marilyn's Anya Kazakova is a shoe in on any list this season. Starting her run with Marc Jacobs, Philosophy, and opening Calvin, Anya then went on to land Giles, Jil Sander, Prada, Marni, Versace, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Nina Ricci and Vuitton, walking a total of 51 shows. since shows however, Anya has barely been seen in magazines, the reason for her not landing the #1 spot. That said, things are still flying high for this 5'11" Russian stunner as she just shot the much-coveted Balenciaga campaign. As the magazine stories begin to come out, Anya is only going to become more and more coveted, Miss Kazakova isn't going anywhere.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Sigrid

2008-12-01T21:06:00.002-07:00

3. Sigrid... New York Models

When Sigrid Agren closed Prada's Resort 2008 a few months ago, we new it was made. With the poise and runway presence of a seasoned professional, Sigrid was a must book for the season. Walking a remarkable 51 shows, opening 7 and closing Prada, she easily had one of the strongest runway debuts of the season. Since then, Sigrid has been picked up for the much-anticipated Prada campaign. This french stunner is going to be a staple show girl for years to come as well as a valued editorial force. Girls like this don't come by every day.

Curious Shelby Coleman

2008-12-01T00:46:00.003-07:00

IMG's Shelby Coleman is one of the most interesting faces I've seen in recent months. It won't be long before the rest of the industry picks up on her intriguing beauty. And with French Revue de la Modes and Giambattista Valli already on her side, It's only a matter of time...

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Ymre

2008-11-30T18:19:00.004-07:00

4. Ymre... One

Prada's choices in models are amongst the most influential in the industry. This season, they couldn't of made their choice of One's Ymre Stiekema any clearer than by placing her solo in their resort campaign, the only new model to appear there since fall 2005. Opening the show for Spring 2009 made it even clearer that Ymre was soon to be legend and a follow up spot in their Spring 2009 Campaign solidified her status. The editorial options are piling up and Ymre looks like she's here to stay.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Yulia

2008-11-29T15:42:00.002-07:00

5. Yulia... Women

Women's Yulia Kharlapanova is a star. I noticed her back in March and Yulia did not disappoint for Spring 2009. Booking every show that mattered this season, Lanvin, Jil Sander, Gucci, Rodarte, Miu Miu and Closing Prada just to name a few, Yulia seems like she's been doing this for decades. The International law student has already booked some major editorials and Campaigns including Moschino and D&G, and despite a devastating Prada tumble, Yulia is here to stay. This leggy Russian is on the rise, and is easily one of the seasons strongest faces.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Imogen

2008-11-27T01:23:00.003-07:00

6. Imogen... Next

Imogen not only has one of the most unique names in the industry currently, but she also has an incredibly effervescent prescience. First marc by Marc and Rodarte, next Prada, Mcqueen and Miu Miu. Imogen is here to stay. This is not the typical model success story however, Imogen switched agencies post season despite her success at the time. We are curious to see what piles up for Imogen as her star status increases... stay tuned. This Imogen will not get lost in the heap.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Myf

2008-11-26T20:40:00.000-07:00

7. Myf... Next

With a name that is so close to Myth, the skeptics were out in full force. Next's Myf Shepherd proved them all wrong and more as the small featured Aussie teen conquered nearly every runways that mattered for Spring 2009. Marc Jacobs, Missoni, Jil Sander, Gucci and Prada all found refuge in Myf and the legend was born. Major, Magnificent, Majestic... Myf.

V have a Winner!

2008-11-26T09:45:00.000-07:00

Meet 5'10" Canadian Addison Gill, the new winner of the V Magazine/ Supreme model search. A year in the making, it looks like they came out of this search with a serious star. Keep watch for this one, she's sure to be huge.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Sophie

2008-11-25T20:31:00.001-07:00

8. Sophie... IMG

IMG's strongest contender for new face this season is the ultra leggy Sophie Srej. If history proves right, this girls show start is the perfect recipe for modeling longevity and success. One part Calvin exclusive, a spoonful of Prada shortly followed by a dash of Chloe and Marni makes Sophie a shoe in on any list. Sophie has shot V magazine, Numero and Italian Vogue in recent months and believe me, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Stay tuned as her star keeps rising and we all find ourselves in Sophie's wake.

Who's Next? Katty

2008-11-25T15:16:00.003-07:00

Every season, there is one girl that creates a kind of pre-season buzz that leaves casting directors waiting with baited breath until they can book the girl. This season, that girl is Katty Ukhanova from New York Models. We are sure she's going to be everywhere in February, Stay tuned.

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Nimue

2008-11-24T20:21:00.001-07:00

9. Nimue... Women

Nimue Smit is young, yes, but how many models can say that they've landed the Prada/ Miu Miu exclusive and opened the latter? Nimue is from the Netherlands and it has been non-stop editorial for Women's newest face. That's not all though, with the Prada Spring 2009 campaign being fronted by multiple models for the first time in years, Nimue is a very strong contender. We expect big things from Miss Smit, keep both eyes peeled.

Just a Thought... Aussies at Next

2008-11-22T20:46:00.004-07:00

Is it just me or does Next New York have a major Australian break out nearly every season? First Alexandra Agoston, then Catherine Mcneil, Abbey Lee, and now Myf Shepherd and Sarah Stephens. Makes you wonder who's next at Next?

The Magnificent 10... Spring 2009... Katie

2008-11-22T19:46:00.008-07:00

Spring/ Summer 2009 brought along close to twenty strong new faces, and some major fashion memories. Think Prada tumbles, Mcqueen fumbles, Agency crumbles and the meteoric rise of Arlenis Sosa Pena. It's been a season like no other, so you can imagine the difficulty i faced in choosing the top 10 NEW faces of the season. You'll be seeing my top 10 faces daily over the next few weeks so stay tuned to see who rises to the top. This season was epic.

10. Katie... Next

Katie Fogarty had a slow start in New York, but it didn't take long for casting dynamo Russell Marsh to catch on the this American's classic, angular beauty. Katie walked exclusively for Prada in Milan and despite tripping in the impossible shoes (even runway veteran Stam took a tumble), Katie left the fashion world buzzing. Look for this 5'10" St. Louis native in some major magazines over the next few months. It's a Next world, we're just lucky to live in it.

Anya Breaks Out

2008-09-14T18:06:00.003-06:00

It is rare that New York breaks a major star. But this season is definitely an exception. Anya Kazakova is just that, major. This is the kind of girl that will last much longer than a season and will soon join the exclusive runway and editorial army that rules the shows right now. Marilyn's latest star came fresh off the plane from Russia and hit Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc, Jill Stuart, Rad Hourani, Philosophy, Doo.Ri, Philip Lim and did i mention that she opened Calvin Klein? Her angular cheekbones and remarkable body made her a must have for every casting director in the big apple. Just you wait until Anya hits Europe as she's already bringing in some incredible options. This is a true star, in every sense of the word.

It's a Supreme Season

2008-09-11T22:40:00.002-06:00

Imogen Morris-Clarke
Evelina Mambetova

Evelina and Imogen are among the two strongest girls coming out of New york this season. Both hit Marc Jacobs and both hit Philip Lim and Vera Wang. It's truly a supreme season with these two under their belts and on their boards. Also with Darya's options brewing like they are abroad, just wait and see. When it comes to runway, Supreme's still untouchable.

Calvin's IMG Darlings

2008-09-11T22:25:00.003-06:00

Charlotte Hoyer
Sophie Srej

How amazing are the Calvin Klein Exclusives this season? We love Sophie and Charlotte, classic and breathtaking. It's all about new girls this season, Anya from Marilyn opened, stay tuned for more on her. These 2 are going to be major come Europe. Keep watch...

It's coming... Ymre

2008-08-27T19:35:00.004-06:00

Despite all the agency Drama, One has managed to stay Strong and land some of the most Major girls right now. From Aline to new girls like Kathleen and Selena, One's where it's at. This is Ymre, and she's going to be the single most important face in modeling for the next few months, especially for shows. Some may know why, but for those that don't you'll just have to trust me. Ymre is a big deal.

Who's Next? Meg

2008-08-17T00:44:00.003-06:00

Love the harsh beauty of Meg. not much is known about this girl right now, but the minute these polaroids came across my inbox i had to have her as Who's Next. This super cool girl is going to be MAJOR!

Katrin is Killing it!

2008-08-07T00:07:00.004-06:00

German Katrin Thormann is having one of the most intriguing starts I've ever seen in modeling. Before even being put on her agency's website or stepping on a single runway, she's on the cover of Dazed and Confused. With Women in Milan and Premier in London, Katrin is definitely one to keep your eye on for Spring 09, to think it's only a few weeks away...
The stunning editorial that accompanies this cover was the selling point for me, as well as seeing her on the runway in Berlin a few weeks ago. Where has Katrin been all my life? It will be very interested to see how this 5'11" angular stunner breaks into the runway world, I'm thinking Calvin... Only time will tell, stay tuned.

a face to remember... Johanna

2008-08-01T20:51:00.006-06:00

My fondness for models named Johanna is no secret, but this girl still is one. with haunting eyes and a truly unique face, this Johanna is here to stay. Let's see if she lands one of the coveted exclusives for Spring 09. I'm dreaming of Johanna...

Who's Next? Pernille

2008-07-16T23:40:00.002-06:00

love, Love, LOVE Pernille! IMG's hottest new face is like Tayla Collins with a body! Pernille has serious star power, and at 5'11.5" she's going to kill it on the runways for spring 09. AMAZING!

2008-07-16T23:28:00.003-06:00

Wanessa is one of the two breaking faces looking strong for Spring 2009 from Next (the other, Sarah Stephens, will be featured tomorrow). Wanessa doesn't look like anyone else modeling right now, with her wide set eyes and full lips, this 5'10" stunner from Sao Paolo is ready to take on the fashion world.

Already confirmed for New York Fashion week, we can guarantee that following her recent hat story in I-D, Wanessa is ready to leave her mark. Watch out...

Who's next? Irina and Kathleen

2008-07-13T12:58:00.002-06:00

One Model Management is showing to be a very strong force in the industry this season. With the surprising break made by Aline last season, the small agency has shown that they can make a serious career. Irina and Kathleen are the two most promising faces from the agency right this minute, and Sonny is nothing short of a Polaroid Genius!

The Spring 2009 season is going to be incredible for One. Watch out!

The Simply Divine Jessica Cline

2008-06-19T23:04:00.003-06:00

Jessica Cline from Elite has instantly hit "it" girl status. She's debatably the most buzzed about new girl in the industry along with Arlenis.
After landing the Prada resort show last week, Jessica has launched herself onto every body's radar. elite has found another one.
Rumored to be opening the labels' spring 2009 collection in Milan. Jessica's instant launch proves that no matter the season, Prada still holds the power. Long story short, this girl is

the real deal.

Who's Next? Sigrid and Myf

2008-06-11T19:45:00.005-06:00

16 year old Sigrid is with New York Models and just closed the Prada resort show. Her refined beauty makes her a clear standout for Couture as well as the Spring 2009 shows.
Australian beauty Myf was also in the Prada show, this one's with Next and is on her way to becoming a major star. Stay tuned for more on the both of them. remember the names, they're hard to forget.

Gaga over Gierdre

2008-06-07T16:39:00.004-06:00

Giedre is another dark horse not having an especially strong showing in the Fall 2008 shows but landing many a major campaign and editorial.
In the past few months Gierdre has been seen in French, Muse, Flair, Mixte and a huge only girl story in this months Italian Vogue.
Gierdre has also landed campaigns for Paul Smith, Aquascutum, Preen, French Connection, DKNY and Blugirl. New York Models has turned this girl out this season. Amazing! I can guarantee that she's going to be a big focus for Spring 09. Keep watch...

Who's Next? Selina

2008-05-28T19:28:00.001-06:00

Part World Vision ad, part supermodel. I LOVE selina at one.

Super Stealth Sasonkina

2008-05-18T19:35:00.004-06:00

Viktoriya Sasonkina is the girl you need to know about right now. Despite a less than stellar show season, Viktoriya has managed to become Meisel's new muse, landing not one but 3 of his campaigns, only two of which i can say.You'll see the 5'10" beauty in both Meisel's Alberta Ferretti and CK campaigns as well as a Calvin Klein jewelry ad shot by Fabien Baron. She's already been seen thrice in Numero Japan and has shot Italian Vogue and W this month.Viktoriya is with Women management in New York and brings us back to 2004's alien baby era, a little bit Stam and a little bit Heather. With long legs and eyes that can melt ice, miss Sasonkina is where it's at. She'll be absolutely everywhere come September.

If only she were tall... Carmen Solomons

2008-05-18T18:19:00.003-06:00

Is Carmen not one of the most intriguing faces you've seen in a while? this girl just blows my mind.
it's really a shame she's only 5'6". but for this one, the industry may make an exception, she's oddly breathtaking.

Who's Next? Sasha

2008-05-14T21:45:00.001-06:00

Love this mysterious new face! Already in Russian vogue. Watch out, Sasha Luss is where it's at!

Model Update: Arlenis Pena

2008-05-08T17:45:00.003-06:00

W, American Vogue, Italian Vogue X2 (one is single-girl), British Vogue, Oscar De La Renta runway show and attendance at the Met Ball as his guest. This is the resume of Marilyn's Arlenis Pena, after just 2 weeks of modeling. Featured here at the beginning of her buzz, Arlenis has since gone on to shoot everything she could possibly fit in in 2 weeks time. This girl has barely even begun her career and has already landed the hardest of editorials, American Vogue. Look out for this one, we haven't seen a launch like this well... ever.

Celebrity Style... The 2008 Costume Institute Gala

2008-05-06T14:38:00.007-06:00

All About Alina

2008-05-04T22:03:00.003-06:00

Part old news, part new buzz, i feel now is the time to introduce you to Alina. Alina is exciting because she came out of nowhere to walk some of the understated cool shows in London and surprisingly land on the Marni runway last season.

Interestingly enough, Marni is beginning to prove as one of the most influential runways, launching many a star years before others catch on. Alina was places solely with Storm at the time, but since then, there has been an exciting new development.

Supreme, Alina has now joined the most exclusive modeling family in New York. Keep watch for this interesting beauty, next season, she'll creep her way in to the hottest slots on the runways. Mark my words.

Who's Next? Kim Mcullough

2008-04-30T13:55:00.003-06:00

How much do you love Kim Mccullough? the Newest face at IMG New York is also from mode models in Edmonton and she is nothing short of amazing.
Reminiscent of a mythical wood nymph, Kim is going to be EVERYWHERE. Absolutely amazing.

Her name is Nicole

2008-04-28T20:06:00.003-06:00

Who's cooler than Nicole Clulee? Nicole is Trumps latest find, and what i find she is! the 5'9" breathtaking beauty is one of my choices for next season. She'll be EVERYWHERE!
That skin, those lips, THAT HAIR! Who could say no to Nicole?

Georgie's Gorgeous

2008-04-26T10:06:00.005-06:00

Muse New York has never had a star, but that's all about to change. Meet Georgie, 2005's Miss Africa and one of the hottest faces right now. I am living for Georgie.
Georgie had a short but sweet Fall 2008 season as it was cut off by a medical problem with one of her amazing eyes. But the girl still booked shows! Georgie walked for many b-rate shows due to the infection but her moment was in the form of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, being one of only a few black girls in both.
Georgie has got some serious editorial mileage under her belt already, being seen in Interview, Russian Vogue and New York Times. She's also landed the Moschino Campaign and a MAJOR story in a revolutionary magazine issue. Can't say much right now but can anyone say All Black Italian Vogue? Amazing...

Who's Next? Kathleen

2008-04-20T21:46:00.003-06:00

Found only days before being handpicked to walk exclusively for Rad Hourani in New York, One Models' Kathleen Ryan is a Brooklyn native with an ever-so-intriguing androgynous look. This one's going to be a big star. She's got the city buzzing. Keep an eye on her.

Supreme Re-Joice's

2008-04-15T20:55:00.003-06:00

Meet the newest supreme girl, Joice. Friends with another new supreme starlet, Martha Streck, Joice is set to conquer the world.

The Perfect Pocsik

2008-04-14T21:25:00.003-06:00

Kelsey Pocsik is from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. And this 5'10" breathtaking beauty is my new favorite model at Mode. This dark haired, mysterious beauty is going to make a serious impact on the industry.

Looking like she stole the best bits from each Irina (K and L), Kelsey is undoubtedly the next big thing. A few weeks in the industry and she's already walked her first fashion show. Kelsey rocked Mode's charity event Bella last Saturday. Keep watch for this one, she's going far far far!

Who's Next? Justyna

2008-04-08T22:43:00.002-06:00

We still don't know her last name, but Marilyn's mysterious Justyna is about to have her big break. Justyna was shot by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie and the photographer liked her so much that he launched her into being shot for Italian Vogue and V magazine. Not a bad start for the 5'11" Canadian. Stay tuned as Justyna explodes onto the modeling scene.

It's still in the DNA...

2008-04-05T23:00:00.002-06:00

DNA models has been the one of the 2 leading women's boards for the last couple of years. Exactly how influential is the agency? DNA has managed to break at least one new major star every season as well as the represent the strongest career models in the Industry. This agency knows how to make a model, not a fad. Doutzen, Raquel, Agnyess, Natalia V, Karolina, Karen and Linda are all part of the remarkable agency. DNA has recently added 3 new and very exciting faces to it's ever-so-exclusive women's board. Meet the three most likely to succeed.

A face to remember, Alex

2008-04-05T10:45:00.003-06:00

A false alarm in the height area caused me to overlook this absolute beauty as a top contender in the industry, but now that i hear she's about 5'9", i am rejoicing. Don't want to call it this early, but would we have our Prada opener already? only time can tell....

Who's Next? Anna K

2008-04-01T21:42:00.003-06:00

Those eyes, that neck, the bone structure. What's not to love? No New York agency yet, but it's only a matter of time. Keep watch...

Dodo

2008-03-30T23:06:00.003-06:00

Oh My God, How much do you love Dominika (Dodo)? I have not seen a face brimming with this much potential since Sasha first came on the scene 4 years ago.
No New York agency yet, but it won't be long before this 5'10" breathtaking beauty is picked up by one of the tops. I am dumbfounded by this one, she's simply remarkable. Dodo is far from the moronic bird that shares her name, she's simply brilliant. Keep both eyes on this one, she's going to be gigantic.

What the Bock?

2008-03-29T20:48:00.004-06:00

I never like to label girls as commercial, but Kate bock is commercial. This 5'11" perfect beauty is well on her way to following the commercial footsteps of Alessandra Ambrosia, Andi Muise and Adriana Lima, three girls with little to no high fashion success but amongst the richest models in the world. There is big money in being commercial and if you got it, flaunt it.

The Vancouver, Canada native was seen slightly on the runways in New york, the highlight being two looks in the fall 2008 Oscar De La Renta show, but where you will see Miss Bock is in your weekly magazines. Garnier Fructis, Herbal Essences, Lise Watier and Mac & Jac and all among the major circulation campaigns that this 18 year old has landed. You may not wake up tomorrow morning and find Kate on the cover of Italian Vogue, but she'll do just fine.

Sensationally Sam Ypma

2008-03-27T21:12:00.002-06:00

My love for Mode Model Samantha Ypma is infinite. She has one of those amazingly angular faces that you come across once in a life time. The cats eyes, ivory skin and flaming red hair seem to be a combination of the gods. Someone definitely did something right with this one.Sam is with New York models and is almost ready to hit the international fashion scene. This girl has a passion for the business that is so rare amongst models and that others will surely notice. At 5'9" and 34.5" hips, she's near perfection. Keep watch for Sam Ypma, in two years, she's going to be the name on every body's lips.

Who's Next? Suzie

2008-03-25T23:37:00.003-06:00

What's not to love about Suzie Bird? Fresh onto the legendary development board of Elite Paris, Suzie has a face to remember. This Bird is going to fly very high...

Radically Ryan

2008-03-24T18:19:00.005-06:00

Another Newbie at DNA, Montreal's Ryan is a super exciting new face. Not entirely new however, as those in the know will recognise Ryan from Rad Hourani's last 2 look books.

Her Ethnic mix will stand out amongst the white washed runways right now. this girl with the perfect symmetry and the piercing blue eyes is going to be on everyone's must have list come Spring 2009, just you wait. If she's good enough for Rad, she's good enough for me!

Quintessentially Quirky Ilvie

2008-03-24T18:09:00.005-06:00

Ilvie Wittek is now with DNA models, not at all an easy board to end up on. She is every bit deserving however as this 5'9" stunner possesses a quirky beauty so rare that it is exactly that look that made a certain Linda a star many years ago.

Despite nothing but tests right now, DNA knows what they are doing, and Ilvie is taking the slow and steady rate to success. Her name might not roll off your tongue just yet, but soon you may just find it in your daily banter. Stay tuned, Ilvie is a star!

Going All the Way

2008-03-24T17:39:00.005-06:00

Way Model Management in Brazil is one of the best mother agencies in the world, rivaling Grace in Moscow, Ten in Sao Paolo and Mode in Canada. Way has discovered stars like Caroline Trentini, Cintia dicker, Alessandra Ambrosia, Viviane Orth, Claudia Seiler and is the mother agency of last weeks favorite Alice Langeani. Way is not about to slow down however, with an amazingly interesting crop of new faces on the horizon. Here are a few of my favorites;

Drielly 5'11" Marilyn

Isadora 5'10.5" IMG
Thana 5'10" Marilyn
Laura 5'9" Marilyn

Who's that girl?!?! Natasha Belobrovik

2008-03-19T11:11:00.003-06:00

Another great find from this years Ford supermodel search is finalist Natasha Belobrovik. This girl crept up in the New York show season and landed some of the biggest shows for models in the city. Natasha walked for Philosophy, Jill Stuart and Proenza Schouler alongside some serious industry veterans. this mysterious girl disappeared after New York, causing some of us to forget her strong showing. Some people have taken notice however, as Natasha has just been shot for Italian Vogue. It's the stealth girls that matter right now, keep watch.

Who's Next? Sima

2008-03-15T12:37:00.002-06:00

This edgy Russian beauty just signed with the incredible development board of IMG Paris and walked for Zucca Fall 2008 in that city. At 5'10", this photogenic stunner is on her way up...

On the subject of Alice....

2008-03-14T17:42:00.004-06:00

Not Australian sensation Alice Burdeu, but just as exciting, this is Alice Langeani from 1 models. Alice is all the buzz right now, she is everywhere, on every website, on every casting directors lips, everywhere. What does all this buzz amount to? Lord knows, but i have a feeling we will find out withing the next few weeks.
This 5'9" Brilliant Brazilian Brunette has already appeared in L'Officiel Russia, and i hear that is just the beginning of things. So amazing. I will be sure to keep you updated on my new favorite girl as she explodes throughout the industry. Stay tuned!

Anna J, Comeback Kid

2008-03-13T08:09:00.004-06:00

Anna J (her last name is too hard) from next is another case of the Fall 2008 Paris comeback. First hitting the scene in 2003 with campaigns from ranging from BCBG to Moschino and runways from Prada to Yves St Laurent.
Anna was also often seen in the pages of Italian Vogue in her prime and became a fast favorite of designers alike. This season, Anna shocked us all by showing up in the Donna Karan fall 2008 show in New York. Such a well known face, disappears for 3 years then is back without anyone noticing, how did this happen?
Anna then went on to miss Milan and London, two city's that had previously been so fond of this Pole with the perfect features, only to hit Paris by storm. Anna walked for Balenciaga, Chanel, McCartney, Vuitton, Viktor & Rolf and Givenchy. I'm all about the second coming of Anna J!

Who's Next? Tilda

2008-03-10T00:12:00.001-06:00

The new girl at IMG, Tilda is just what we need. I know every one's on New Face overload right now, but this girls worth taking a second look. Fabulous, no?

Top 10 Models from Fall 2008

2008-03-08T12:31:00.008-07:00

Fall 2008 had the strongest presence of new faces i have seen in recent times, so how did i choose the ten most influential? When compiling my list i narrowed it down to about 25 girls and then painstakingly cut them out one by one until i had these ten. With no single agency dominating the catwalks, it gave all of the amazing girls who had not yet had their chance a major moment. All ten of these faces have been previously featured on The Clotheshorse, but now all eyes are on these ten as they fight for the few spots for new girls in the campaign and editorial races. keep watch as these are the ten most likely to succeed.

Georgina at Women was first featured back in early february when she was just becoming a strong force in New York and the options started pouring in for Milan. Those came through as this 5'11" Serbian with razor sharp features walked Prada, Marni, Jil Sander and Dolce & Gabbana. The momentum did not slow down come Paris as Georgina walked an average of 3 shows a day. Amongst those were Mcqueen, Dior, Galliano, Hermes, Givenchy, Valentino and Yves St Laurent. Her impressive run came to a total of 62 shows, no a bad first season, no? This expensive newcomer is going to be on everyone's must have list, Georgina is sure to be everywhere.One of the many major Comeback stories of Fall 2008 is Supreme's Iris Struebegger. This 5'11" chiseled stunner was featured here back in early december and has since conquered the runways of the world. Despite a slow start in New York, she finished the week with Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriquez. Then Milan and Dolce and Gabbana came. But Paris was where Iris hit her stride, walking for Balenciaga, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Viktor & Rolf, Yves St Laurent and wearing the single most photographed outfit at Alexander McQueen (that headpiece!). With a Paris show list like that, Who can deny Iris' influence on the Fall 2008 season. And with Paul Rowland's genius Management behind her, Iris is going to be a career girl, not just a fad. This one's here to stay.
One of the two major stars from Next this season was Estonian knockout Karmen Pedaru. She was first featured here after she walked for Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan in New York. She then went on to London to walk every show, including Giles and Christopher Kane. Milan saw Marni , Alberta Feretti and Gucci but like many girls, Karmen excelled in Paris. McQueen, Chloe, Chanel, Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, Kenzo, Galliano, Dior, Lagerfeld, Vuitton, Balenciaga and opening Yves St Laurent is nothing but a shocking show list for such a new face. But if you look those eyes, is it really such a surprise? This is a moment for Karmen, She's on everyone's must have list. But after 3 seasons in the business, why does this one belong to Karmen? Must be the talent behind Next. Malin Ones was among the top 5 girls who walked the most shows this season so why is it such a suprise that she is topping everyone's newcomer lists? This was Malin's first season ever and none of us saw it coming. I featured the stunner from Norway as a simple "Who's Next" back in january right before she exploded onto the show circuit. Malin was the girl who came with no buzz, no previous work and nobody expecting her to acheive what she did, but once you meet this girl, you'll understand why this season went the way it did for this 5'11" beauty. She started off in New York walking for Narciso Rodriguez, Proenza Schouler and Calvin Klein. then off to London for Giles and Christopher Kane amongst others. Milan had a Malin moment when she opened Just Cavalli and walked for Dolce & Gabbana. But once again in Paris, Marilyn's new star broke out into the big leagues with Balenciaga, Dior, Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, Vuitton and Ninca Ricci. Malin Ones walked a total of 59 shows this season, placing her alongside the show staples of the industry. Only time can tell if this show success will translate editorially but my money's on Malin right this minute...

Anna Gushina was most likely my favorite face from Prada's Spring 2008 collection. I featured her briefly in December as one of my favorite faces from IMG Paris. Others took notice of Anna's amazing face this season as she walked nearly every important show. Her first full season is reminiscent of a certain model named Kasia Strauss. Anna walked for Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriquez, Ralph Lauren, Rodarte, Calvin Klein and opened Proenza Schouler in New York. Milan was gushing about Gushina as she walked Alberta Feretti, Jil Sander, Fendi, Missoni, Belstaff and Prada. Anna also had a strong showing in Paris with Balenciaga, Chloe, Vuitton, Miu Miu and Yves St Laurent. Anna's Strong yet beautiful features make her a season standout with 51 shows now under her belt in a short 3 weeks. Anna is one of the most promising faces coming out of the Fall 2008 season, she's sure to do very well in the next few months. iMG really knows how to pick em'...

Choosing Next's Abbey Lee Kershaw as a season standout is a no-brainer. not since Meghan Collison has the world been buzzing about a girl so loudly before she even hits a runway. since being featured in December, Abbey has been seen in Ads for D&G and Lord and Taylor, as well as editorials ranging from Numero to Another Magazine. Abbey was the single girl that every designer in every city wanted on their show lineup, they just had to hzave her. That's why it was such a shock when this future superstar took a Gucci exclusive, simply brilliant management. not only did it give her some well needed rest during her busy season (averaging at 4 shows a day in New York). Abbey is one of the most versatile faces out there right now, walking for everything in New York from Calvin Klein to Marc Jacobs, and Rodarte to Ralph Lauren. then once she hit Paris, it seemed that abbey's exclusivity had made the French want her even more. Abbey walked Mcqueen, Chanel, Dior, Galliano, Lanvin, Vuitton, Valentino and Givenchy which she opened. It seemed like Abbey had been on the runways forever as she fit in perfectly with the vetrans. This girl isn't going anywhere anytime soon, absolutely a supermodel in the making. Alice Burdeau is one of the most well known models in Australia due to a certain reality show victory, but after being carefully instructed by Elite NY to never mention it again, Alice is well on her way to becoming one of the most well known models in the world. First featured here afer she made a lasting impression at Rad Hourani, this 6' tall red haired fox has become a fast favorite of designers worldwide. Alice started off her New York Season very slow, but was able to land two of the most major bookings, Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs. She tehn went on to a strong showing in London with Luella, Christopher Kane and Giles. Milan was Daks and Dolce for Alice, and a Jil Sander strut was the highlight of the week. Paris couldn't get enough however, Mcqueen, Lanvin, Vuitton, Dries Van Noten and Sophia Kokosalaki all agreed with Alice. It's not so much the caliber of the shows with Alice, even though they were of very high caliber, it is her overall look and versatility, it is getting people excited. You can bank on alice landing some very major editorials in the next couple months, she is finally living up to her Title of Australia's Next Top Model. Aline Weber at One is the Name on everybody's lips this season, a fantastic second coming. First featured here in early february then again 2 weeks ago, Aline has since made a serious splash. Aline was one of the models this season signaling the return to the women in modeling. Aline had a great New York Season with Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Narciso Rodriguez and Marc Jacobs while Milan was Good but nothing amazing. Paris was all about Aline however, She opened Balenciaga and walked everything including Lanvin, Vuitton, Hermes, Yves St Laurent, Dries Van Noten, Stella Mccartney and Chloe. This is the girl that people are talking about, wondering how she has been around for years and nobody has noticed her until now. this is not a girl or androgynous freak, this is a real, beautiful, brazilian women. Absolutely amazing.

Amanda Laine at supreme is my favorite face of the Fall 2008 season. This girl is the real deal. The first one to come out of an modeling competition and instantly be a serious success. First featured here after she popped up in Milan for Prada and Marni, Amanda since has become the most exciting new face in modeling. In Paris alone, she walked for Nina Ricci, Dries an Noten Givenchy and Sophia Kokosalaki. She closed Marc Jacob's Louis Vuitton and Opened Alexander McQueen as well as Miu Miu. AMAZING! Amanda is currently in Milan working some more for Prada (hint, hint) and will soon be seen in every major magazine and campaign, guaranteed. All the success is deserved for a face and body like that of course, let alone one of the best personalities. I not only know that Amanda will be crazy successful, but i hope that the success will come. This is a start of legends, making the V Magazine/Supreme model search one of the worlds leaders, can't wait to see who they find next year! Last but not least is the incredibly leggy Diana F at IMG. Clotheshorse readers first met Diana just before she took the Paris Couture shows by storm in early January and she since landed some of the biggest opportunities on todays Runways. Diana walked exclusively for Calvin Klein in New York this season, making her the focus of the collection alongside the ever so hot Toni Garnn. Then came Milan where Diana walked for Both Jil sander and Marni, a winning combination in the eyes of casting directors everywhere. The quirky Russian Blonde ended the season in Paris opening and closing Chloe and getting a perfect score on the final show sunday (Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci and Miu Miu). Diana's shows may have been few and far between, but this girls' exclusivity is going to be the key to her success. Diana is still the industry's best kept secret, but once they begin to discover her, they won't be able to keep their hands off.

Who's Next? Anna

2008-03-06T08:41:00.002-07:00

Anna is a wonderful 5'10.5" and still unsigned in NY, love these new girls who, even after show season are still untouched. Anna is sure to have her moment soon, just look at that face!

Who's that Girl!?!?! Jennifer Messelier

2008-03-04T20:31:00.003-07:00

Ford's 5'11 brunette Jennifer Messelier is not an unknown, yet to most she was the only face with no name at Miu Miu fall 2008. Jennifer had already walked Jil Sander last season as well as a few select shows this season, but it was her Miu Miu appearance that threw us all off guard.

The odd thing is that Jennifer has already been seen in a a major editorial, you can see her in February's Italian Vogue. So what makes her such a mystery? We'll have to see, but word is that this breathtaking beauty has some serious things brewing right now, serious serious things.

Heaven Sent Heloise

2008-03-03T17:47:00.003-07:00

Women's Heloise Guerin had one of the strongest seasons in New York, followed by a solid turnout in Paris which makes it common knowledge that this girl is soon to become an editorial and campaign favorite.Her amazing hair and perfect, ivory skin make Heloise one of the strongest new faces coming out of the Fall 2008 season. and at 5'11", what more could a model watcher ask for?
The curly haired Francophone walked for Marc Jacobs, Alexander Mcqueen, Proenza Schouler, Daks, Marc by Marc, Philosophy and Giles to name a few. Top photographers are clamoring at the bit to get their hands on the French beauty.

With such a young face on a very grown up body, Heloise is the stuff of legends. This girl is also impossibly photogenic and has a killer personality. She has the presence of a young Doutzen, High fashion as well as High commercial value. A real money maker for Women don't you think? Keep watch...

The Catch that is Cato

2008-03-02T19:08:00.006-07:00

The few girls that are lucky enough to land the ultra elusive Prada exclusive are launched into super stardom and their faces remembered by many for years to come. The most recent of those Girls is the amazing Cato Van Ee.
Cato was fabulous enough to land both the Prada exclusive in Milan as well as the Miu Miu show in Paris. Cato's classically edgy beauty fit perfectly with Prada's casting this season and once again shows the push towards the return of the Women.This stunner is not an entirely new face however, she has been modeling since late 2004. Now placed with IMG, Cato has grown taller and has been relaunched as an exciting new face, and how exciting she is.

Her exclusivity left me wanting more this season, and i am sure i am not alone. Cato has the makings of a serious star; versatility, personality and experience. Astonishing!

Who's Next? Yulia

2008-03-02T12:43:00.002-07:00

Women's Yulia, Just had a surprisingly big finish to Paris fashion week. She walked Lanvin and Nina Ricci today. This Girl is going to be one to watch next season as her show list expands. Stay Tuned...

Who's That Girl?!?! Kelli Lumi

2008-03-02T12:31:00.002-07:00

Kelli Lumi with Major Models had a Major modeling moment today. Previously unseen except for some minor Ny and London shows, Kelli opened Nina Ricci mere hours ago.
The Ricci show is among the most important in Paris for models, as it often discovers next seasons stars right at the end of the week. Kelli has an amazing presence and is most likely one of those stars for next season. Keep watch for this leggy blonde, she's about to have a moment.

Model Update: Martha Streck

2008-03-01T19:07:00.006-07:00

I first introduced you to Brazilian Martha Streck two weeks ago when it was discovered that Martha will be the Fall 2008 Gucci exclusive along with Abbey Lee. Since then, Martha has gone on to great things.

Martha walked for Gucci, Fendi, Dior, Chanel, Lacroix, Galliano and Elie Saab. Her flaming red locks and chiseled features set her aside from the typical Brazilian bombshell.

The Runways are not the only place that Martha has recently seen success, she's landed the Fall 2008 D&G Campaign with Mario Testino. Martha's so hot right now.

Anna Selezneva, Dark Horse

2008-02-28T18:07:00.008-07:00

Some may recognise Anna Selezneva from last season, she walked for select shows like Dries Van Noten and Celine. To others, Anna is still an exciting new, exquisitely beautiful face. This season is turning out different however. Even without an appearance until Paris other then Blugirl in Milan, and a slow start in the city of lights, Anna managed to land some pretty serious shows opening Balmain and closing Yves St Laurent mere hours ago!
Anna could be the girl to watch who broke out in a big way within those ever important final three days of Paris Fashion week. The Dark Horse who keeps everyone on their toes until next season. And with that mystical symmetry and the Height needed, Anna has the undeniable beauty that makes a star.

What does it take for such an unknown face to close such a major show? Look at Anna. She's going to land EVERYTHING this week.

Who's that Girl?!?! Stephanie Carta

2008-02-26T23:46:00.002-07:00

Balenciaga pre-fall 2008, models included Egle, Daiane and the unknown face of Stephanie Carta. Yet another Aussie with Next, Stephanie has quickly become a favorite of Balenciaga as this is the only place we have seen the 5'11" brunette since that show months ago.Since then, not a single editorial nor a runway show, Stephanie showed up again at the Balenciaga show this morning. Could this be a very exclusive partnership, are there hidden politics? Or, god forbid, could it be that the infamous brand just really loves this beautiful face? We'll have to wait and see, but once Balenciaga releases Stephanie from its jaws, she's bound to be everywhere. stay tuned...

Aline Ascending

2008-02-26T23:09:00.004-07:00

One's Aline Weber, another comeback story of the fall 2008 season, but possibly the largest one thus far! Aline has been in the business since 2005 but it is this season that the Brazilian bombshell has exploded.

Like most comebacks, Aline disappeared for some time before slowly re surging in Brazil. The classic, statuesque beauty began appearing near monthly in Vogue Brazil before seriously rocking Sao Paulo Fashion Week. But once One found her and she hit NY, that's when the serious bookings began pouring in.

Aline walked for Proenza Schouler, Narciso Rodriquez, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein in New York and Alberta Ferretti, Burberry and Pucci in Milan. The ball did not stop rolling there as Aline walked Maison Martin Margiela yesterday in Paris.
Despite all of that show success, Aline's major moment came this morning when she opened the breathtaking Fall 2008 Balenciaga show. This is one of the few girls who can go from Balenciaga and absolutely land a major VS contract. I may be eating my words in years to come, but does anyone else see a young Gisele? Contract or not, Aline is bound to become one of those rare Fashion Chameleons that we are all so fond of. You can count on Aline's ascension to continue into spring 2009, we've got a star on our hands people...

Who's Next? Julia

2008-02-25T10:54:00.004-07:00

We first saw Eden Clark in the Burberry Spring 2008 show in Milan. She was absolutely an unknown in that show but it was obvious that there was something to this interesting face.
Eventually, others caught on in the Industry and Eden is now an instant sensation. in the last couple of days in Milan, Eden walked for Burberry, Marni and Prada and her options in Paris are seriously major. Eden can be seen right now in both Dazed and Confused and Italian vogue shot by Steven Meisel.

Early on, Amanda walked for Rad Hourani in New York and instantly fell under the radar. It was all for good reason as Amanda was busy fitting looks for Prada. When the newest canadian it girl hit the Prada runway, the buzz began.
Amanda has since walked for Marni and been optioned for almost every major show in Milan. With bone structure like that and those amazing eyebrows, this one's here to stay!

2008-02-18T17:23:00.006-07:00

It's all about exclusivity this season, Calvin only had one entirely new girl this season and now Jil Sander has followed suit. Russian Dasha Bichevina was introduced to the world today as she hit the Jil Sander Fall 2008 collection as the only brand new and previously unseen girl.
With the slew of new faces that Prada drops each season, the spots for exciting new faces are becoming much fewer and far between. It is the Mystery of certain girls that cause us to take that second look, i.e. Toni Garrn. Lets hope that Dasha's round face and beautiful eyes can keep others interested for many years to come.

Who's Next? Martha

To some of us, Alice is a new face, but for a select few, we know that Elite's newest star actually won a season of Australias Next Top Model! Don't tell anyone that though, the top model curse has seemed to pass over Alice.

Supreme's Natalia is no mystery to Clotheshorse readers, but she still remains one in the industry. The only girl on Style.com to remain unidentified from the Calvin show, Natalia will be remembered soon enough. After disappearing off of Supreme's website in mid january, some began suspicion that Natalia would land the ever coveted, Calvin Klein exclusive. This did not go through, however, Natalia still managed to make a lasting impression on the Casting Directors of New York.
Natalia not only walked for Calvin Klein, she hit Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Philosophy in those final days. The Thing about Natalia is that she is not supremes typical star, but somehow she works.It's all about Natalia right this minute, and now that she is not caught in Calvins show trap, lord only knows what kind of bookings she will land in Milan and Paris.

Hourani's Rad!

2008-02-09T16:43:00.000-07:00

Rad Hourani's fall 2008 collection was not the biggest show in New York this season, but it was surely one of the most buzzed about. Cast by Wayne from the Imagist and Models.com, the choices were perfect and the caliber simply unheard of for such a new designer. Rad was able to land 4 MAJOR exclusives including new face Camille and past Meisel muse Sunniva, both from New York Models. 3 other New Faces also shared the Spotlight; Kathleen, Rena and Natalie. Superstars also hit the show, with Suvi, Coco, and Daiane all taking a turn for the Designer.
The Models were not the only focus however, the clothes were immpeccable. Rad showed us that he is not just a creator of clothes, but a creator of a lifestyle. From the eerie remixes of Siouxie and Pat Benatar to the minimalistic white space and clean, white benches. The show was perfect.

We should expect to see much, much more from Rad Hourani in the next months, his clothing is already of favorite of I-D magazine and cool girl come stlyist Erin Wasson, calling the pieces "f**king awesome". I had the pleasure of working with Rad on the collection and was able to see his vision behind the clothes. Everything had to be done perfectly and in the "Rad Hourani" way, and it is this perfectionalism that will be the key to Rad's success as a designer. The collection was styled by the king of effortlessly cool and favorite of Paul Rowland, Nicholas Grasa. The mix of textures and a black palate with a bold infusion of red made the show one to be remembered.Rad Hourani has a drive and a vision that is, as he describes as "Eternal". Not a bad start at all eh?

Who's Next? Rena

2008-02-09T16:27:00.000-07:00

Meet Rena Donaldson. Another star from Mode Models in Canada who exclusive turn on the runway for Rad Hourani is stirring up the castings in Milan right this minute. With a moody, doll-like elegance that is so hard to find, Rena is definately what's next.

The Value of Vika

2008-02-03T19:00:00.000-07:00

Fall 2008 seems to be the season of second chances, Abbey Lee, Eniko, Aline and Iris are all seeing their share of the spotlight after a slow start on their careers. Now it is time for Vika to hit her stride. Vika's been modeling since Fall 2006, and nearly two years later, we are starting to see her at all the major shows. Isn't it amazing what supreme can do for a model?
Last Season, we saw Vika hit the Runways of Nina Ricci and Miu Miu, and she has since charmed her way into shoots for 10 magazine and POP. For Fall 2008, Vika is on everyone's most wanted lists, her rustic appeal has attracted the likes of Donna Karan and Alexander Wang this far.
Vika is sure to be seen hitting every major show in the next month, walking London, Milan and Paris after she wraps up her New York season. This Ukranian isn't going anywhere!

Who's Next? Natalia C

2008-02-02T17:00:00.001-07:00

This 5'9" stunner is a relative unknown in the industry, i stumbled upon her photos a week ago and she has since modeled in the impressive Prada Pre-Fall collection.
With Mr. Marsh on her side what else can a girl need? We are sure to see Nathalia pop up in Milan this season, stay tuned...

A Second Chance... Aline and Eniko

2008-02-02T02:06:00.000-07:00

Neither are new faces, but both Aline and Eniko are getting their second chance at model stardom. Who doesn't love a cool comeback?

The Mysterious Hannah Glasby

2008-02-02T01:51:00.000-07:00

The couture shows nurtured many models exclusive careers before they became household names. Darla, Irina, Johanna and many more all did couture exclusively for a few seasons before hitting the runway circut. We might be seeing something similar in IMG Paris' find Hannah Glasby.
Hannah was seen at the Anne Valerie Hash and Chanel couture shows this season and i doubt we'll being seeing her walking the Ready to Wear for another few seasons.
At 5'9.5", Hannah has potential to be a serious force in the industry, but at a young 17, i doubt we'll be seeing this Aussie hit her stride for a few seasons to come. Whether it's now or in 2 years, Hannah is going to do very well for herself. Keep watch...
