Everything Old is Suddenly New

Roberto Cavalli pays homage to Richard Avedon's classic Versace imagery from the late Eighties and early Nineties for its Spring/Summer 2012 campaign. Model-maker Steven Meisel teams up with iconic models Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy and Karen Elson alongside relative newcomer Daphne Groeneveld. Kudos has to be given to Cavalli for casting such an eclectic line-up with each model possessing a look that is uniquely distinct and individual. The pairing of new modelling sensation Groeneveld with supers Campbell, McMenamy and Elson, brings a freshness and interesting dynamic to the shoot. Cavalli's underlying message appears to be that beauty at any age can be fierce.

The V Collective

V Magazine assembles a cast of modelling's freshest talent for an editorial highlighting the Faces of Now. Julia Nobis, Daphne Groeneveld, Ruby Aldridge, Ilse de Boer, Hailey Clausen, Andie Arthur, Charlotte Free, Emily Baker and Marique Schimmel pose for designer and photographer Hedi Slimane in a series of paired-back, black and white portraits. Slimane captures the individual beauty of each subject whilst allowing the models to imbue the images with an element of their own character. The resulting images are candid, personal and beautiful in their simplicity.

Cruise Mode

V Magazine's Model Issue serves up four alternate covers featuring eight of modelling's most illuminating faces captured by Terry Richardson. Joan Smalls, Daphne Groeneveld, Saskia de Brauw, Candice Swanepoel, Sui He, Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, Lindsey Wixson and Bambi Northwood-Blyth are paired off wearing the best of the Cruise collections styled by Carine Roitfeld. The models sport fluorescent eye shadow, candy-coloured spandex leggings and vibrant prints to brighten up the dreary Winter months ahead. Models appear to be making a come-back as cover subjects with Roitfeld anointing Smalls et al. as the "next generation of supermodels." Speaking with WWD, Roitfeld enthuses, "These eight girls are unique. It's their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion."

Boulevard of Dreams

During Paris Fashion Week, casting agent Andrew Weir captured some of the standout faces of the Spring/Summer 2012 season as they descended on Boulevard Montmartre. Paris is the last stop on the S/S 2012 Fashion calendar and following a month of relentless castings, fittings and sleep deprivation, it's no wonder these girls look as though they could do with some R&R. I was in Paris for the final days of fashion week and sighted several harried models scurrying all over the city in a state of flux.

Seal Of Approval

Barney's Fall/Winter 2011 Campaign receives the midas touch courtesy of styling by former Paris Vogue Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld. The campaign features an eclectic cast of women handpicked by Roitfeld from her favourite models, co-workers, friends and family. Amongst the chosen few are models Joan Smalls, Daphne Groeneveld, Saskia de Brauw, Fei Fei Sun, Malgosia Bela, Crystal Renn, Carolyn Murphy and Naomi Campbell. The images lensed by photographer Mario Sorrenti are accompanied by quotes penned by Roitfeld celebrating the unique and alluring qualities of each model.


Fei Fei Sun

"I find Chinese women exquisite. I had never worked with Fei Fei before, and I found her absolutely ravishing. She has the grace of a child, she is bewitching, like a fairy tale."

Jessica Hart

"Jessica is the Australian girlfriend of my son Vladmir's best friend. So pretty, natural, and elegant. She's got a spontaneous, sporty allure and she's always smiling."

Saskia de Brauw

"I met Saskia at a Givenchy runway show and hired her immediately. She is an exceptional model and I put her on my final issue of Vogue."

Crystal Renn

"I have worked with Crystal before, when she was more full-figured and voluptuous. I think there are all types of beauty, and have always liked very curvy women - maybe because I am very skinny myself. But even now, slimmed down, she's still magnificent."
 
Joan Smalls

"Joan has a tremendous natural beauty and carries with her the feeling of her native Puerto Rico. I always knew she would be a very big star."

Izabel Goulart

"Izabel, a Brazilian, is one of my most recent discoveries. She is a very, very beautiful girl that I first saw at a Victoria's Secret runway show."

Carolyn Murphy

 "I have worked with Carolyn many times, often along with Mario Testino, and we really trust each other. She doesn't seem like a typical model - she looks so marvellous, but is also somehow approachable. You see her and you want to look like her."

Malgosia Bela

"Malgosia is one of those rare models that really understands photography, and will do anything to get a good photo. She's very intelligent and we've worked together many times. Once, we partnered with artist Taryn Simon to shoot her nude in a Japanese restaurant with sushi on top of her."

Daphne Groeneveld

"Daphne is the youngest of all the models featured here. I put her on her first magazine cover with Tom Ford. I find her incredible with her innate kindness and that enormous mouth. She has an unusual strange beauty. For me, she's like a new Lara Stone."

"I met Naomi 25 years ago at the beginning of her career and worked with her often. She is of course a legendary model and an icon, but one thing that people don't know about her is that she has a very big heart."

Super Natural Love

Love Magazine strikes editorial gold yet again in it's Supernatural issue. Lara Stone, Maria Carla Boscono, Daphne Groeneveld and Kristen McMenamy pose alongside stunning new face of the moment Nyasha Matonhodze in this riveting beauty portfolio. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott team up with the styling genius of Katie Grand and Panos Yiapanis for this mesmerising editorial. The natural beauty of Stone, Matonhodze, McMenamy, Groeneveld and Boscono's tear streaked visages are enhanced by the minimalist make-up and visually arresting head pieces adorning each model's head. The incandescent beauty, raw emotion and vulnerability conveyed by Matonhodze et al. resonates with each turn of the page.

Believe the Hype

Nineteen year old Dutch newcomer Milou Sluis is generating quite a buzz in fashion industry circles, having landed two high profile Fall/Winter 2011 campaigns for Blugirl and Armani Exchange photographed respectively by Michelangelo Battista and Matthew Scrivens. The 178 cm tall, cherub faced beauty began modelling in 2010 with Ulla Models in the Netherlands and is currently represented by DNA Models in New York. Sluis made her international debut at the Spring/Summer 2011 shows walking in smaller shows like Ashley Isham and most recently appeared in the Philosophy resort 2012 show.

Slius bears a striking resemblance to her Dutch modelling compatriots Daphne Groeneveld and Doutzen Kroes, and has the classic beauty that will appeal to designers at the up-coming Spring/Summer shows in September. I for one, am completely transfixed by Slius' incredibly expressive blue eyes, her immaculate bone structure, and her peaches and cream complexion. With such an impressive Fall/Winter campaign coup, Slius is guaranteed to be on the one to watch list of every influential casting director, designer and photographer in town.
