Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

In the March 2010 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US, 21-year-old Hungarian cover girl Eniko Mihalik of Elite Models, who recently appeared in an editorial for Vogue China by Alasdair McLellan, is featured in an editorial entitled “Global Warming” where she portrays a military-like scientist attempting to prevent global warming. Shot by photographer Peter Lindbergh, Eniko is set in a desert-like area equipped with all the tools she would need from solar panels and bio diesel to oxygen tanks and test tubes. Eniko would be the most chic scientist in an Aquascutum trench with Sportmaxx booties, a Jil Sander dress and belt, Blumarine jacket, shorts, and sandals, Marc Jacobs belted jacket, sweater, and bloomers, and Jean Paul Gaultier top and skirt. My favorite look is the Jean Paul Gaultier cutout top and army green skirt combining chic and military without looking like costume attire.

Styled in designs from the spring collections of Alexander McQueen, Jill Sander, and Prada by stylist Darren Knight, German model Anne Sophie Monrad of Ford Models is featured in an editorial for the first issue of Glass magazine shot by photographer Felix Lammers. In an abandoned graffiti-filled setting, Anne Sophie brings a girlish charm with my favorite look being the teal tie-dye minidress with Alexander McQueen ankle boots.

The February 2010 issue of Marie Claire Italy features an editorial entitled “Attazione Indochic” starring 19-year-old American newcomer Mathilde Frachon of Next Models, who is in the spring 2010 campaign for DKNY. Shot by photographer David Bellemére and styled by Elisabetta Massari, Mathilde enjoys a day of luxury in a loose blouse by Jil Sander, a yellow sleeveless Buberry Prorsum top, nude chiffon lingerie by Alberta Ferretti, a cotton, peach top from United Colors of Benetton, an orange long-sleeve Lanvin dress, and a white Brunello Cucinelli blazer.

26-year-old Brazilian supermodel Raquel Zimmermann of DNA is featured in an editorial entitled “Field Of Dreams” shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti in the February 2010 issue of W magazine. Styled by Camilla Nickerson, Raquel is shown in a white MaxMara cotton and silk shirt, a tan Burberry georgette top with tan silk duchesse satin leggings, a white Armani Jeans cotton shirt with brown Dolce & Gabbana shorts, a white cotton crepe Bottega Veneta romper, a white polyamide and cotton Jil Sander top with white leather Nicole Miller leggings, a white taffeta Celine shirt, a white Gianfranco Ferré top and bra with lambskin Alexander Wang shorts and Balenciaga boots, a tan wool and cashmere Chloé top with tan Chloé leather shorts, a lavender Gucci cotton top with lavender cotton pants, and a silk gazar and chiffon Calvin Klein dress with white Burberry cotton briefs. Utilizing a desert scenery, the majority of the images emphasize the blue skies and the yellow grass making the whites and tans in the garments really stand out while Raquel uses many action poses.

In the February 2010 issue of Wallpaper magazine, an editorial entitled “Best In Shows” features 18-year-old South African newcomer Marike Le Roux of Wilhelmina, who recently became the face of Sonia Rykiel, 19-year-old Slovenian newcomer Valerija Kelava of Next Models, who is in the spring 2010 campaign for Celine, 21-year-old French male model Tom Nicon of Success Models, who is in the spring/summer 2010 campaign for Burberry Sport, newcomer male model Louis de Castro of Bananas, who recently worked with Wooyoungmi and Dries Van Noten, 17-year-old Hungarian newcomer Sophie Srej of IMG, who recently appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, 18-year-old Romanian Andreea Diaconu of IMG, who is in the spring/summer 2010 campaign for Frankie Morello, and male model Philipp Bierbaum of Tempo Model Management, who was recently in campaigns for Gianfranco Ferré and Dolce & Gabbana. Shot by photographer Pierre Even and styled by Arabella Mills, the models are shown in designers such as Viktor & Rolf, Louis Vuitton, Raf Simons, Dior Homme, Lanvin, Jil Sander, and Gucci.

18-year-old Australian model Myf Shepherd of Next Model Management, who recently appeared in Vogue, Purple, and Numéro magazines, is featured on the cover of the February 2010 issue Dazed & Confused Japan shot by photographer Yasunari Kikuma. Myf is showcased in a silver crisscrossed Prada dress with a red belt, a white Jil Sander suit, a stunning floor-length Marios Schwab evening gown, a white structured Jean Paul Gaultier blouse, a red hear eye patch and beret, and a black leather bustier with long black gloves.

18-year-old Russian model Ranya Mordanova of Supreme Management, who recently appeared in Vogue Italy and Vogue Paris, is featured in an editorial entitled “Fashion’s Raw Edges and Powdery Textures” in the February 2010 issue of Dazed and Confused. Styled by Katie Shillingford, Ranya is shown in a raw coat by Jil Sander, a short-sleeve, pale teal Burberry Prorsum top, a tan trench coat with pink chiffon by Jean Paul Gaultier, and a raw tan Calvin Klein blazer.
