New Faces: Ursula, Jura and Mirte
"New Faces" is a weekly rubric about models whose names will constantly make us callous to our eyes. These girls and young men from the “most promising” tops will very definitely move to the “highest paid” top very soon. In the meantime, this has not happened, we propose to consider them closer.
Ursula Konin
Ursula Konin - the usual eighteen Muscovite, who loves to go to the "Solyanka" and take pictures of yourself on your mobile; However, her main occupation is modeling business.
Abroad, her name is already known, and they book it no less than Anastasia Kuznetsova and Frida Gustavsson.
“I have many friends of photographers who shoot“ for themselves ”- they constantly asked me to pose. I posted their photos on social networks and they began to write me that I should try myself as a professional model. I filled out a questionnaire in an agency whose name I remember barely, and they took me. But half a year of going to the castings in Moscow gave almost no results; I was constantly told “unformat.” However, after I was sent to New York, everything somehow changed radically. "
Last week in New York fashion, she closed the Christopher Kane show and took part in the Missoni show:
And in the company Row, owned by the Olsen sisters, Ursula was removed for the last lookbook:
"I like being a model, but what to do after, I have not decided yet"
Yury Pleskun
Nineteen-year-old Yura Pleskun wasn’t just named by our users: few of them guessed that now he is one of the most popular male models in the west. By the number of past castings, only Luke Warrol and Cole Moore bypass him.
He has Ukrainian roots, however, he was born in the Bronx.
His agency, due to the craze for coarse Slavic appearance, is trying to emphasize in every way that Yura is a stern guy, riotboywho had been driven out of school many times and brought to the police for fights.
However, judging by his interview, he really had a difficult childhood: no matter how comical it sounded, but he was the only white guy in the quarter. And the modeling career began for him quite specific.
“Once at three in the morning, one very drunk woman came up to me and muttered:“ boy, do you want to become a model? ”, Then I told her something like“ yes, I actually fuck. ”And so it happened.”
Yura has two tattoos, he made both of them at the age of fourteen: one of them says "shine".
It was rumored that while shooting for i-D, he had a fight with another guy, model Lens Johnson, who eventually broke his nose. Subsequently, the rumors were debunked: the latter simply unsuccessfully pushed the metal tube, which was in the shooting props, and accidentally cut Yura Pleskun’s eyebrow. To that 5 seams were put.
He is invited to shows regardless of his role: Rick Owens, Frankie Morello, and even Paul Smith.
“I don’t treat this as the most important activity in my life, I would have done well without all this”
Mirte Maas
Mirtha Meuse was born in a small town in the south of the Netherlands. Due to the fact that during a crisis, clients often go to see “understandable” standard beauty on the catwalks, her recent appearance on the fashion scene was doomed to success.
It is difficult to say in which spring-summer'10 shows. Mirte Mass did not participate, but she was remembered by many for her first of all with her passes on Alexander Wang and Miu Miu - the spit went to her more than others:
Christian Dior Couture, Chanel Couture, Valentino Couture, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin:
For half a year Mirte had time to become the new muse of Nicolas Hesquiera. Besides the fact that the model took part in the show Balenciaga and starred for their lookbook, she also managed to light up in the advertising campaign.
On her first cover of Vogue, she starred with Shu Pei Keen:
