New models: 8 interesting heroines of the past shows
Text: Anna Eliseeva
The star of the past weeks of fashion, of course, was Kaya Gerber. Daughter Cindy Crawford in her sixteen managed to appear on all key shows from Chanel to Prada. Long legs, natural thinness, expressive face with symmetrical features - Gerber has a conventionally beautiful and understandable appearance. Again, it seems that the fashion industry is not ready to put in the first place those who are different from the standard parameters. We talk about eight models that can soon change the situation: let, unlike Kaiya, there are no dozens of shows and advertising campaigns in their portfolio, and we are confident that the future is behind them.
Angok Mayen
Beezent Angok Mayen twenty years. In 2013, the girl arrived in the United States from her native South Sudan, where civil war broke out, and soon had a daughter. Native Angok does not know that she has been working as a model for two years, she is being shot for world leading publications like Italian and American Vogue and Dazed and in advertising campaigns Diana von Furstenberg. And this fall Mayen first participated in the show Delpozo.
Heroes Model Management agency scout Kathryn Cushman spotted a girl at Marshalls department store in Syracuse, New York in 2015. Long legs and a "strong" face attracted an agent, so she immediately offered a job - she had to explain herself in broken English, because the girl knew little the language. Now Angok is under the supervision of the agency, because not a single model, according to Kushman, faces the same difficulties.
In addition to the language barrier, the girl did not know about simple things like sneakers - she always wore sandals as the traditional shoes of her tribe. It’s almost impossible to arrange for her to participate in foreign shows: because of her refugee status, she cannot move freely around the world. But Angok likes work, although her priorities are a stable life and education for both her daughter and herself.
Rose daniels
Daniels began working as a model in her home state of Mississippi when she was in school. She participated in Nashville Fashion Week and was ready to conquer the local horizons, but the agent persuaded her to look beyond the nearest states. So Rose signed a contract with New York DNA Models and instantly won the attention of fashion photographers and publications.
In 2017, she participated in the shooting of Miu Miu with Kate Moss. Later for the magazine Love Daniels photographed the famous Patrick Demarchelier. The corporate look of the frowning and androgynous features of the model are tried to be used in the shooting - for example, the sitting men's suits reminiscent of the 70s choose for her famously. Agents say that Rose is incredibly charming and perfectly joking - for sure it was appreciated by the brands whose shows she participated in, from Marc Jacobs, Christopher Kane and Gucci to Coach and Sonia Rykiel.
Hanna Motler
This year Hannah first appeared on the podium. The girl is only sixteen, and she has already managed to participate in the show Louis Vuitton, Maison Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Coach, Helmut Lang, Burberry and many others. After such a track record, it is not surprising that she is predicting a stellar future, despite her unusual appearance by model standards. High forehead, long nose, blue eyes, white hair - Motler got into the list of new faces of the fashion world on Vogue.com without any problems.
Nina Marker
Nina Danish bold look speaks of her strength and courage. At the age of fifteen, she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, but this had no effect on Marker's decision to work in the modeling business. Nina was noticed in 2014, when she was walking with friends at McDonald's in Copenhagen. Two years later, filming at home, she entered the world stage: participation in the debut show of Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent became a real career springboard. This year, the model went through an impressive number of podiums - in total, no less than thirty - the most significant of which was the Versace show, which was commemorated by the founder of the brand. We think that the passages to Fendi, J.W.Anderson, Chloé and Mary Katrantzou will not be forgotten either.
Alexandra Binaris
Alexandra was noticed when she was only four years old. In adolescence, she still predicted a modeling career, but Alex was in no hurry to dive headlong into work - education and a diploma were more important. After studying for a playwright at the University of Cape Town, she knocked on the door of the agency Boss Models. A month later she was on her way to Paris. This season, Binaris walked the runway of a huge number of brands — from Chanel and Prabal Gurung to Blumarine and Elie Saab — and W and Teen Vogue magazines recognized it as the best among novice models.
Dillon
Last year, the model, working under the mononym Dillon, took part in more than forty shows - is this not a breakthrough. She is twenty-one, and she dreams of changing the usual perception of beauty in the fashion industry, particularly on the catwalk. She considers herself an example of how vectors are shifted in favor of "non-standard" appearance parameters - for example, dark skin, large hips, angular facial features. “The fashion industry is ready for something new. I don’t think that we will return to ensuring that everyone is exceptionally thin, with blond hair and blue eyes,” says Dillon, although without taking into account his own natural thinness.
Career model began at eighteen, although a teenager girl dreamed about filming a movie. Dominican by birth, Dillon lived in a house in Long Island with her nine brothers and sisters, with whom she played skits in the home theater. But one day a friend introduced her to a photographer who brought Dillon to Muse Management. The model itself notes that her career really began only with the signing of contact with DNA Models last fall. Stella McCartney, Off-White, Fendi is really serious.
Sarah fraser
Sarah’s take-off year can be considered just 2017, although the girl signed her first contract five years ago when she was sixteen. First, she received an exclusive from Prada, and then met with Balenciaga. As often happens in the fashion industry, attention to the girl turned after a sharp change of image - her new haircut. Sarah did not even think of becoming a model - her mother herself submitted the documents to the leading Miami agency. "Since then, everything is incredibly spun. I did not even know what fashion is. I'm still not sure that my father understands what I do every day," Sarah admits.
Olivia lis
Olivia has just graduated from high school, but has already appeared in the Balenciaga advertising campaign. On her debut show Mulberry, she met with the stylist Lotta Volkova, and she contributed to the collaboration with Demnaia Gvasalia. Before getting into the fashion industry, the girl played basketball and wore dreadlocks, but before the show she was made a sloppy bob, which determined the further style of the model. French law ensures that for the sake of her career, the girls do not bring themselves to exhaustion, and, although Liz loves to eat, her weight and parameters are still checked.
