Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

In an editorial entitled “This Used to Be My Playground” is 17-year-old Hungarian newcomer Sophie Srej of IMG, who recently closed the Anne Valérie Hash couture show during Paris Fashion Week, for the online publication the Ones2Watch shot by photographer Terry Gates. Utilizing a studio setting as well as life on a ranch, stylist Hissa Igarashi shows Sophie in a Stella McCartney dress under a white Vinti Andrews denim jacket, a shirt and jacket by Ann Demeulemeester and a zebra-print Miu Miu skirt with zebra-print 603 leggings and bronze Jimmy Choos, a white Yohji Yamamoto coat, a leopard print Dolce & Gabbana dress and fur jacket, and a black 3.1 Philip Lim leather jacket and skirt and a Lina Osterman shirt with an Ann Demeuelemeester leather belt top and Ann Sofie Back tights. My favorite image in this editorial is Sophie in the leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana fur jacket and dress smoking a cigarette sitting next to a rancher drinking a coca-cola looking casually chic.

After recently walking in the Prada and Miu Miu shows, debuting in her first ad is 15-year-old Kansas-born Lindsey Wixson of Marilyn Models for Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2010 campaign shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. After using Hollywood starlets for the last couple of seasons, Miu Miu decided to change their palette to fresh, young face.

In a recent press release, Lindsey was referred to as “the embodiment of a free-spirit on the cusp of womanhood.” Miu Miu saw a very gentle and “fawn-like” quality in Lindsey, which definitely shines through in this campaign.

The Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Self Service features the fourth installment of editorial “The Obsessions: Intentional Absurdity” highlight trends from the fall season shot by photographer Max Farago. The editorial features 25-year-old German supermodel Julia Stegner of IMG, who was recently featured on the cover of Vogue Spain by Paola Kudacki, styled by Ondine Azoulay. Full of smiles, Julia is shown in an A.P.C. plaid hooded coat, a United Bamboo red and gray argyle sweater with Prada red wool mini-shorts and tall green rubber boots, a red jewel encrusted Sonia Rykiel sweater, a silver silk blouse with a gray cashmere sweater vest both by Ralph Lauren, and a beige wool skirt and fur sash with beige leather high-heeled shoes all by Miu Miu. This editorial gives off a vibe belonging to the new HBO hit polygamy series “Big Love” starring Bill Paxton and Chloë Sevingy from her hair to the conservative fall styles.

To introduce the first looks from the spring collections, the February 2010 issue of Vogue Paris is dedicated to a massive editorial entitled “Vogue-à-Porter” shot by world-renowned photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. With art direction from Carine Roitfeld, Emmanuelle Alt, and Camilla Nickerson, the editorial stars 32-year-old supermodel Bridget Hall of One Management, 22-year-old American model Dree Hemingway of Elite Model Management, 22-year-old Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen of IMG, 26-year-old Brazilian model Raquel Zimmermann of DNA, 21-year-old Dutch model Anna De Rijk also of DNA, 26-year-old Dutch supermodel Lara Stone also of IMG, 26-year-old Brazilian supermodel Isabeli Fontana of Storm Models, Belgian model Tanga Moreau of Models 1, 39-year-old British supermodel Naomi Campbell also of IMG, 42-year-old American model Talisa Soto of Click Models, and 26-year-old Polish supermodel Daria Werbowy also of IMG in designers such as Balmain, Miu Miu, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Celine, Louis Vuitton, Etro, Donna Karan, and Hugo Boss.

Although 19-year-old French model Constance Jablonski of Elite Model Management is no stranger to the pages of French and Italian Vogue, she has never appeared in a U.S. publication until the February 2010 issue of Vogue US in an editorial entitled “Back in the Saddle.” Shot by photographer Raymond Meier and styled by Elissa Santissi, Constance is styled in a black mini skirt by Miu Miu, Christian Louboutin caged booties, Chanel calfskin clogs, a Louis Vuitton messenger bag, a bright orange Antonio Berardi mini dress, bright orange Jean Paul Gaultier leggings, and Neiman Marcus undercover pumps utilizing a horse theme in every image.
