The Breakout Models of the Spring / Summer 2018 Fashion Weeks Season


The exhausting, exhilarating, frenetic, inspiring month of Spring / Summer 2018 fashion weeks is done.  Reviews are in and orders placed.  Editors are holding the pieces they hope to include in upcoming editorials, and designers have already begun their Fall / Winter collections. The designers and celebrities are not the only stars of the past month.  A crop of standout models, many in their first show season, has captured the eyes of fashion and beauty brands, editors and photographers.  Creating buzz on a noisy stage is difficult at best, so kudos these women who managed to enchant, intrigue, and make a memorable impression – no easy feat when nearly all the models in a particular show wear the same hair and makeup. 





Sometimes it is a fresh haircut, a quirky look, a powerful walk, or an incredible body that sets a model apart.  It is a particularly good period in the industry for models who are different, as the pendulum slowly swings away from the “clone” models of the last decade.  With the emergence of social media influencers, celebrity offspring, and street style models appearing on runways and in campaigns, the cult of personality is gradually making its way back into the fashion and beauty industries. 







We hope this means less of a “disposable” model career timeline where young teens have one amazing season and then disappear.  Let them grow up and evolve and be real contributors in a more meaningful way to brands.  We are rooting for these models and we can’t wait to see them in prestigious editorials, fronting the best magazines, and on many future runways.

Model Crush Monday - Kaia Gerber!


In the ultimate throw-back ever, legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford’s fifteen year old daughter Kaia Gerber, gives all Cindy fans a "round two" as she skyrockets into the modeling world, landing squarely at IMG and into the pages of Vogue.  The resemblance is uncanny and it seems the only thing missing is Cindy’s famous mole.  Kaia’s breakout into the modeling comes at the perfect moment as fashion is currently revisiting the early 90’s, when her mom was THE model of the moment. 


Appearing in a Versace ad campaign at age ten set the wheels in motion putting Kaia squarely on the industry’s radar.  Since then she has appeared on the cover and in an editorial feature of Vogue Paris with her mom photographed by Mario Testino, in the new fashion film for Miu Miu Eyewear, as a part of Alexander Wang’s girl squad, in the recent campaign for Chrome Hearts, not to mention a feature in Teen Vogue, and the covers of Pop, and Love magazines.  She has just been awarded “The Breakthrough Model of the Year” by The Daily Front Row and will be honored during Fashion Week this September.


The similarities to her mom are obvious on the outside but perhaps even more on the inside.  Ciindy is known as being the consummate professional, with a strong work ethic: always on time, always courteous, always kind, and always delivers, and she has instilled the same ideals in her daughter.  Kaia is confident and comfortable in front of the camera without any teenage awkwardness, qualities which her mom has said she did not have when she first started modeling as a teenager.  


Up next is an appearance in Lifetime TV’s Sister Cities, where she makes her acting debut.  I have the feeling we will be watching Kaia for years to come, as she carries on the world’s love for all things Cindy, and becomes a supermodel in her own right.  She isn’t just Cindy 2.0!  She KAIA, thank you very much!

Model Daughter ... Like Mother, like Daughter. Following in Supermodel Footsteps



My daughter, Chandler and I, were featured in the May issue of Pristeen Magazine this month. At 13 she is now a signed model with Ford, the same agency I am represented by! We have already gotten quite a few bookings as a mother-daughter team. So in honor of Mother's Day here are a few other model - daughter pics ... it's definitely all in the genes for these beauties!

Kaia Gerber, still a teen, has already landed major campaigns as a model such as Versace, and why not? she is definitely a spitting image of her Supermodel mom Cindy Crawford. They recently appeared on the cover of Paris Vogue together. Definitely a dynamic duo!
