Super Contenders

Joseph Altuzarra's Paris meets Marrakech collection was brought to life on the runway by an extraordinarily beautiful group of newcomers. Last season's breakthrough faces Sui He, Nyasha Matonhodze, Xiao Wen Ju and Julia Frauche led the charge alongside some clear contenders for the current Fall/Winter 2012 collections. With only a few more days left of New York Fashion Week, Kati Nescher, Maria Bradley, Marte Mei Van Haaster, Nadine Ponce, Nadja Bender and Ava Smith have clocked serious runway mileage at only the most influential, trendsetting shows. From Alexander Wang, Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, Helmut Lang, Jason Wu and BCBG Max Azria, one thing is clear a new generation of models is primed to takeover with equal measures of attitude and beauty.

Curve Ball

Hervé Leger's Fall/Winter 2012 presentation featured a refreshing line-up of models that kept me guessing with each turn on the runway. Generally each season, you get used to seeing the same predictable groupings of models traipsing down the runways, so much so that it all starts to become a little staid. Not so at Hervé Leger, thanks to the brilliant casting of duo Barbara Nicoli and Leila Ananna who were on the lookout for models with a "straight forward kind of beauty". The only familiar faces on hand at Hervé Leger were models on somewhat of a comeback trail like Kendra Spears, Elsa Sylvan, Yulia Kharlapanova, Irina Kulikova, Ginta Lapina and Marike LeRoux. Citing "eighties glamour" as a reference point, Nicoli and Ananna threw models du jour, Shu Pei Qin, Jasmine Tookes, Kate King, Emily Baker, Julia Frauche, Jacquelyn Jablonski and Juju Ivanyuk into the mix alongside brand spanking newcomers, Tilda Lindstam, Carolina Thaler, Katryn Kruger, Lina Zhang, Nadine Ponce, Sharam Diniz, Daniela Mirzac and Mackenzie Drazan. The combined effect was a line-up which captivated, enthralled and intrigued as much as the Leger's equestrian themed signature bandage dresses.
