New Faces: Queenie, Peter, Olivia
Look At Me talks about new models: Queenie from Holland, Peter from Germany and Olivia from the USA.
Always smiling Dutchwoman Queenie van der Zande has been a model since she was 16 years old. Over the past two years, the workaholic has managed to gain a foothold of her, ready to pose for hours on twenty-centimeter heels: “Many people think that being a model is fun. Well, that's true. But you can compare the model business to sports. But, despite the stress and eternal competition, I would not trade for anything that I have. "
Queenie's career began to develop thanks to Vivienne Westwood: having got to the casting for the Vivienne Westwood show for the first time, the British designer and the Dutch model quickly found a point of contact - both were listening to the same music. The fact is that Queenie's parents and she listened to the Sex Pistols, Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix and Guns n 'Roses - and this fact aroused the sympathy of Westwood. Since then, Queenie went to almost all shows of the British designer: with a mustache and a narrow skirt, with a bleached face and a huge pile, in pants, bananas and with a strange headdress. It seems that the British designer saw in the eighteen-year-old Queenie the muse that best represents the image of Vivienne Westwood. Since then, Queenie has also participated in shows of Luella, PPQ, Kris Van Assche and, of course, House of Holland, the designer of which has long been friends with Queenie: together with Henry Holland they take pictures of themselves at parties and go to festivals.
Queenie van der Zande appeared on the covers of magazines several times and participated in the shooting for Grazia (including Russian), Elle, Elle Girl and Vision, but she is not going to stop at what has been achieved. Like all careerists, she believes that the main achievements are still ahead: “When the scouts found me - and I went shopping at that moment - I couldn’t have thought that everything would turn out that way. I never really liked studying, and I understand what a chance to become a successful model, I need to cling more than others. Not all models take their work as seriously as I do. So, I'm sure I will succeed. "
Peter Bruder does not have a blog, but this does not prevent him from being one of the most popular male models on the Internet. Having debuted on one day at once on three shows (Costume National, Burberry and Trussardi) just a year ago, now he is followed by the majority of shows of the last weeks of fashion. Its popularity is quite justified: designers recently increasingly give preference to models with sharp facial features.
The career of Peter Bruder began quite trivially: all friends and acquaintances long ago persuaded him to go to a casting in a more or less decent agency. No one had any doubts that he would be elected. Later, Peter admitted that he was prevented from doing this by the usual laziness: “I never sent my photos to any castings. Once, on the way to university, one guy introduced himself as a scout and asked if I wanted to try becoming a model. At first I decided that he flirting, but after a couple of emails I calmed down. "
After the end of a modeling career, which, despite any success, Peter plans to leave at 25, he is going to study again. True, not to the faculty of international law, where he had been registered before: “I was not interested in fashion, did not know either the names of designers or brands. I always thought that this was not a man’s occupation. But then I realized that everything related to fashion , somehow connected with beauty. I began to photograph, draw pictures, be interested in art. And I want to do this in the future. "
In the meantime, Peter enjoys life: he is shooting for men's fashion magazines, trying to wean his mother google his name and in parallel meets with other models that he likes more than others, in his opinion, like all men.
Sixteen-year-old Olivia Gordon from Seattle was at Disneyland with her parents when she learned that she was being searched by agents from Ford to invite her to the Supermodel of the World. She didn’t expect to win - the other girls were taller: “All the time there was a competition, we were photographed, we were constantly interviewed and asked to put on strange clothes, and then we were measured, measured, measured ... Butterflies flew in my stomach all the time. that it was all over and in the end I didn’t fall off the huge studs, as I was foretold. "
Having gone through a small school of life thanks to Supermodel of the World, Olivia is trying to adapt to her modeling career: in part thanks to a contract with Ford, she was invited to represent the Givenchy cruise collection.
And while she is being compared with young Eva Gertsigova, Olivia is trying to combine her studies at school with the work of a model. At the 2011 Givenchy SS show, we’ll see it for sure: Ricardo Tisci is a famous Monogamous.
