Fashion Models:
Marilyn

Whether being shot for the April issue of Paris Vogue by Terry Richardson or shot for the July issue of V Magazine by Sebastian Faena, Eniko tends to equal her on duty accomplishments with an equal off duty effortless smile.

Liu Wen (Marilyn NY) with a bow tied belt. The first asian model to sign with Estée Lauder. The first asian model to walk the Victoria's Secret runway. Needless to say, the first photo in this post.

Hind Sahli (DNA NY) also with a bow tied belt. If you ask me, she rocks this hair cut. Look for her editorial in the May issue of VOGUE Italia by shot by Steven Meisel.

Jessica Stam


Somehow, I have this pattern (click here for link) of always taking a photo of Jessica Stam with her right shoulder towards the camera. My pattern, her pose, or a combination?

Lindsey Wixson (Marilyn NY)Bubbly and friendly. Now that she just turned 16, she'll be able to walk the Paris shows without restriction, so it'll be interesting to see how well she fares. If you like interviews, you should read her's with W Magazine by clicking HERE

In her Feb. 7 interview with WWD Lindsey said, "And I think it would be cool to just be able to fly wherever. If anything, you know, went wrong with the world, I could just fly away. I really like Amelia Earhart. She's from Kansas. She disappeared, so I have to take her place. I want to be Dorothy. I want to be Amelia Earhart....I want to do it all."

Looks like she's doing it all to me :)

It's clear Tanya's "animal magnetism" goes beyond the print on her vest for she follows her own lead when it comes to personal style. "Just be yourself," as she might say.

Charlie Hunter Paille, a model with her own line of clothing

Charlie reworked this vintage coat by adding the straps herself.

the "world is your oyster". Or should I say all that jewelry!

Finding inspiration in photography is normal as she carries her camera with her wherever she goes.

Finding inspiration on the subway between castings--possible

Charlie journals her inner thoughts in a diary, away from the world and through the peace of her pen

After time at Starbucks, back on the go between castings. Here rushing to Soho, then back to Union Square, then to the East Village. Repeat times two.

"my way" tattoo

Charlie wears her own creation, a Charlie Hunter Paille lace mini to a casting. The inspiration for this dress came from a photo she saw of Kate Moss. The dress took her about 2 hours to sew after she had the fabric cut at a garment store.

When a approaching castings, Charlie goes into model mode, with a James Bond like focus

In between castings, Charlie finds time to indulge her taste for Post Punk London music

which includes an ethereal appreciation for The Sex Pistols

Or sometimes dreams of Punk Rock music in from the 70's, like the Ramones

In her appreciation for the punk rock music and influence on clothes, she often finds herself at Search and Destroy

and loves to shop at Trash and Vaudeville for inspiration too.

She once made an ice cream statue as a child (5 yrs) and later had a tattoo made in remembrance of it.

1 of 3 daily meals here included fresh organic greens from Quintessence, one of the East Village's most famous raw/vegan restaurants.

Taking time again after eating to collect her thoughts.

One more trip to Search and Destroy won't hurt before ending the day!

Calling it a day.

Charlie Hunter Paille, a name that brings with it not only the privilege of own design and label, but a broad spectrum of interests from photography to fashion design to modeling. If Charlie's not busy scooting around the world's cities to castings, you can bet you'll find her rocking out to some Sex Pistols music or alternately, peacefully sewing a new masterpiece of masculine leather straps onto a more feminine foundation.

Charlie (Marilyn, NY) is a graduate of Montréal's Collège LaSalle with a major in Fashion Design. The following is but a brief glimpse into the world of Charlie Hunter Paille, a world full of castings, subway travel, dietary requirements, and time travel into London's Post Punk Era of the late 1970's. It also doesn't hurt that today is Charlie's birthday. Happy birthday Charlie!

A classic model success story: from Skokie, Illinois, to being discovered on South Beath, to being a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Liu Wen. Not only is she always super friendly and always eager to have her photo taken, but she's now chalked up 3 consecutive seasons with some of the most influential shows on the fashion season circuit: Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Chanel, Chloé, Alexander Wang, and Jason Wu to name just a few....topped off with closing the Fall/Winter 2010 Givenchy show, I'm sure she'll be booking many editorial pages in the off season.

Constance didn't walk any shows in London this season, but that didn't keep her from repeating key shows from her Spring/Summer 2018 runway appearances. She's now walked 2 consecutive seasons for the following directional shows from Milan and Paris:

Dolce and Gabbana
Bottega Veneta
Moschino
Balenciaga
Balmain
Chloe
Christian Dior
Hermès
Karl Lagerfeld
Victor and Rolf

Constance Jablonski (Marilyn NY)

Karmen Pedaru (NEXT NY)

Derek Lam really showcased some of the finest models the industry has to offer this season from Constance Jablonski and Karlie Kloss to Freja and Abbey Lee. For the moment while I rush this post before I head off to Paris, I thought you'd like to re-visit that wet and rainy day once again.

Watching how models dress is interesting and at altamira not only can you see how they dress now, but effortlessly see how they dressed in the past seasons too. Again, stay tuned for more updates from New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, and Paris Fashion Week.

Hope everyone has a super fun Happy New Year! There's so much to choose from for New Years Eve in New York City, from the Tribeca Grand party to the Boom Boom Room to mulling around with friends on the Upper West Side...so many fun choices to choose from.

See you in 2010!~
