It's Gonna be a Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays Everyone! I must apologise for my slackness with posting of late but I have just spent the past few days holed up in a lakeside cabin in Bavaria without internet access. Now don't get me wrong - I love nature and all, but there is only so much hiking and fresh air that I can take before I start to get a little stir crazy for a healthy dose of fashion and modelling. British Vogue gets 2012 off to just the right start with a gorgeous editorial lensed by Daniel Jackson and styled by Francesca Burns, featuring an eclectic cast of beauties. Veteran models Elise Crombez and Doutzen Kroes lead the charge alongside newcomers Kati Nescher, Emily Baker, Codie Young, Romee Strijd, Maria Bradley and familiar faces Ymre Stiekma, Vika Falileeva and Bette Franke. I love this editorial for its unpredictable line-up of girls and the fact that the models are allowed to imbue each image with a hint of their personality.

The Lucky 13

Ok so I'll admit that I am just a tad bit excited about the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion show. This year, Victoria's Secret are bringing a mega dose of high fashion moxie to the runway amidst all of the over the top pouting, blowing of kisses and runway theatrics. Amongst the thirteen new faces who have been confirmed for the show are several of my favourite catwalkers, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, Anais Mali, Toni Garrn, Sui He, Jessica Clarke, Caroline Brasch Nielsen and Karmen Pedaru. Rounding up the lucky thirteen are Bregje Heinen, Ieva Laguna, Shanina Shaik, Elsa Hosk and Cameron Russell. I'm doubly excited to see Anja Rubik, Constance Jablonski, Liu Wen, Lily Donaldson, Lais Ribeiro, Magdalena Frackowiak and Lily Donaldson, amongst the former Victoria's Secret girls returning this year. With the show due to commence any minute, the following backstage and rehearsal shots should whet your appetite for the spectacle ahead.

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.
