New Faces: Patricia, Anna, Lizanna
“New Faces” is a weekly rubric about models whose names will constantly be an insanity to our eyes. These girls and young men from the “most promising” tops will very definitely turn into the “highest paid” top very soon. In the meantime, this has not happened, we propose to consider them closer.
Twenty-year-old Patricia van der Vliet was born in the tiny Dutch city of Zaandam. She always wanted to become a model, but none of the modeling agencies of Amsterdam (where Patricia specifically went to the castings) did not want to work with her. However, after participating in the Dutch version of the TV show "Next Top Model", where she eventually made it to the finals, but did not win, the proposals for filming and participation in shows began to mysteriously appear one after another.
The girl herself doesn’t like to remember her television experience: “I know it was the wrong step, but then it seemed to me that this was the only way to get into the modeling business. After the constant answers“ no, ”I was ready to go to anything. After Next Top Model, all agencies broke loose - in September I signed a contract in my native Netherlands, and a few days later I was sent to New York, where the castings for a fashion week were held. And then - boom! ... I suddenly became irreplaceable " .
Then the Prada, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta (now Patricia is the new favorite of the creative director of the brand Thomas Mayer), Preen, Herve Leger, Stella McCartney, Celine, Viktor & Rolf, Missoni, Oscar de la Renta, Hermes, Haider Ackermann, Chanel and Givenchy.
As for filming in magazines and advertising campaigns, Patricia managed to appear in the British Vogue, Numéro and Interview, and with Mirte Maas become the face of the Balenciaga summer collection.
Patricia is one of the few who expects a long model career. She wants to last as long as possible - and therefore does not smoke, eats properly and goes to the gym.
Ukrainian Anna Rudenko - nineteen. She was born in Kharkov, where, on the way to her university, the scouts of the modeling agency found. Now the girl mainly works in the West, and the promotion is handled by the agency Women Paris.
Most of Anna is known for the Blugirl Beachwear summer advertising campaign. Anna Molinari, designer Blumarine and Blugirl, admitted that they chose the girl because she answered all the brand's requests. Anna's doll appearance really suits the floral prints and the festive and relaxed mood that is present in the photos.
Now Anna is called "a new rising star of Slavic appearance", and despite the miniature growth (because of which the girl has not participated in any significant show), she is considered one of the most promising Slavic models. Her appearance can be adjusted to any image, so Anna Rudenko is potentially even more commercially successful model than Valeria Kelava or Kristina Kaurova.
After a huge success at fashion weeks (63 shows), Lizanna De Jong focuses on finding her own apartment in New York - it is important for this Dutch woman to become an official resident of the city. In the fashion industry, she has been working for less than a year - despite the fact that the scouts of the modeling agency were trying to book a girl back at 14, Lizanna decided to start school.
Lizanna De Jong considers herself an extremely shy person: “I am grateful to my agency for helping me to relax and feel more confident. When I was sent to Milan Fashion Week, I did everything wrong - I didn’t walk like that, I didn’t pose like that. Surprisingly that in the end success came to me. I guess I just learn quickly. " Judging by the fact that behind the nineteen-year-old Dutch woman there are advertising campaigns Burberry and Celine and shooting for 10 magazine and Dazed & Confused, this is true.
