Well, Caroline Trentini is Brazilian, and so is Cintia Dicker. I mean, it's not about the whole full-figured thing anymore. I actually like the whole waif-like look.


What do you all think about Catherine McNeill (one L or two?) allegedly the newest "it" girl?

Oh, well what I meant by "Brazilian wave" was not girls that are Brazilian, per se, but those who fit into the Brazilian cliche: tan, full lips, smouldering eyes, smaller chest and wider hips.

But yes, I do agree...I sort of do prefer the waif-like models on the runway. I don't mean to be blunt, but when you come down to it, models are hangers for clothing. A more waif-like girl would showcase the clothing better, clothing would hang better. However, I do enjoy the annual VS show just as much as anybody else. Hahaha. =)

Some vids to check out (it's always so rare to see models in action):

Catherine McNeil? I actually quite like her...although she's not as striking as the more unusual models nowadays. She has amazing legs, too.

^ I agree that the waif models look better, but they have to have SOME sort of shape... I think that some models like Snejana and Freha are too thin and bony. Lily Donaldson's a bit on the thin side too, or maybe it's just her proportions that are weird. I prefer models like Caroline Trentini and Daria.

I liked the Daria and Natalia fashion file videos ^_^

I personally think Daria looks like a man.

but then again, thats just me.

imo i think the whole "eastern-european small town village girl" fad is fleeting (sasha, snejana, vladya, other eastern european models). The next new fleet of models (i hear) are cool city girls, like coco rocha, agyness, georgia frost, etc.

^ my favorite "cool city girl" is Irina!

Daria can look a little masculine, but she's gorgeous especially in the Lancome ads and the i-D cover.

I am absolutely in love with Agyness.


I have a love-hate relationship with Daria. I don't like her on runway, but occasionally in editorials she blows me away.
Snejana's gained a bit of weight, but still looks too bony. Freja's looks much better, Natasha Poly on the other hand is another skeleton.
I don't like Vlada. I think she's on the same level with Snejana and Natasha - walking skeletons. Especially her eyes on the runway. They're just too dead.

Coco Rochas and Agyness Deyn is love. :D

Sasha has always been one of my favorite models. I hate it when people call her a wannabe gemma ward. They do have similar features, but i'd choose sasha over gemma everyday. Her campaigns for prada are to die for (fw 07 was amazing).

And out of the whole new wave of cool city girls, I prefer Georgia Frost over all of them. I'm just really tired of the whole androgynous look (agyness) and I think coco rocha's features are way too sharp for my taste.

Oh, but Agyness can also look so feminine.

Sasha and Gemma have their similarities in appearance, but they are drastically different. I don't know about having to choose one or the other, but I don't think Sasha's a 'wannabe Gemma' at all.

You know she's hot.

Piva Piva and Gemma! haha. When Sasha (or Piva Piva as I call her) first came out, I kept getting her and Gemma mixed up. I love how Sasha's doing the Prada campaign. Esp. for the 3rd year in a row.

I never understood the whole androgynous thing... Especially with Omahyra Mota. It's not attractive.

^ Okay, I totally thought she was a man at first. Honestly.

There's a difference between actually looking like a man, though, and being androgynous. I think androgyny can have its pros. The mystery of a woman looking and dressing like a man evokes images of power and confidence, which, I think, is a good thing.

Daria can be both androgynous and amazingly soft. I don't think she's overrated at all, she's definitely deserved all the praise that she's gotten from the people that she's worked with. And they should know best. I admire her most for her work ethic and how she carries herself - not as a demanding "won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day" kind of person, but as a respectful, professional model.

Piva Piva...such a cute name, haha.

^ haha "won't get out of bed for less than $10000 a day". Melrose!

I like Daria, but she's not one of my favorites. Especially when she did the Lancome campaign. Her pictures were WAY overbrushed, and that totally turned me off. I think she's definitely more feminine than masculine. I think Cecilia looks like a little boy in terms of masculinity and androgynous looks.



not to mention that she has the body of a little boy.

^ Lancome is one of those landmark jobs you can land in a career, yet I can't help but feel that it detracts from Daria. You know, the whole over-airbrushed thing...it's just a little off. You'll be known for your Lancome ads, but nothing is as prestigious as say, a Vogue Italia cover. Or multiple Vogue Italia covers.



Oh, and the "10,000 dollars a day" thing was the theme for Melrose's first shoot, but that was one of Linda Evangelista's infamous quotes, haha.

Yeah. I think Daria's definitely one of the It girls, but she could've done a lot better than Lancome. I don't know what to think about her skin lately. Since in some of her pictures, she looks absolutely flawless, but in others, her skin's a little worse-for-wear.

Haha. Evangelista! Oh, but I'll always associate it with Melrose from now on. Especially how horrible that photo was.

Models nowadays arent unique , they all look if not the same than very similar. The twiggy era and the Cindy Crawford era was the heyday of the quintessential Model.

^ Who would you say that looks "the same"? And how can you base it off of only two names Twiggy and Cindy Crawford. I personally am not a fan of Cindy Crawford. So you think that Daria's not one of a kind, or Tanya D., or Agyness Deyn? What about Bruna Tenorio?

I think that even though models aren't as big of a thing as they were in the 90's it doesn't mean they're any less unique or... great.

So...Doutzen Kroes is going to be in the middle of the cover on Vogue with 8 other models. Think:


And she's the featured model in there also. She gets 2 pages, while the rest of the models only get 1. Thoughts?

I've never had a favorite.
Never really learned any names, either.
I think Kate Moss is beatiful, though.

Oh, cool. Do you know who the other models are? I hope this issue will be a US Vogue issue.

^ it is american vogue

Nope, they haven't disclosed who the other models are going to be yet, but yes, it's a US vogue issue.

is amazing.
y/n?
