sports illustrated: Swiss Gold

Swiss newcomer Julia Saner has been making serious forays in the modelling world since her impressive debut at the Spring/Summer 2011 shows in Milan and Paris where she logged a total of 21 shows. Proving that she is here for the long-haul, Saner had an equally stellar Fall/Winter 2011 season appearing in a staggering 47 shows.

Saner was discovered in 2009 when she competed in and won the Elite Look of the Year competition. What differentiates Saner however from the relentless influx of newcomers, is her presence and versatile appeal which hark back to the days of the supermodels of the nineties. Saner possesses an impossibly gorgeous face in the classic sense and an equally athletic, powerhouse physique.

Industry insiders are unanimous in their enthusiasm for Saner with appearances in US Vogue, Vogue Italia and W Magazine shot by Mario Testino, Steven Meisel and photographic duo Knoepfel & Indlekofer. Saner's appeal translates seamlessly into campaign dollars with blue chip campaigns for Valentino and Mulberry lensed by David Sims and Tim Walker respectively. With Saner no gimmicks are required. What you have simply is an astoundingly beautiful girl with just the right mix of wholesomeness and va-va-voom to appeal to both high fashion and commercial end clients.
