    Jessica Clarke (DNA, NY): new face to watch

    Walking Calvin Klein for a model spells value for her career in many ways, two of which are:

    1. Highly Efficient Go See--Gets the attention of influentials in minimal time. A runway show is like a super efficient "Go See", where the model goes to see not just one possible client--one at a time, but hundreds. And in the case of Calvin Klein, those people mark the creme de la creme of the fashion world.

    2. High face recognition--the girls faces aren't disguised behind a mirage of makeup, hair accessories, or masks. This improves her chances of facial recall for future castings.

    Jessica walked 2 looks in her exclusive for Calvin Klein, past exclusives have included Natalia Vodianova, Karlie Kloss, and Lara Stone.

    On a lighter note, I tawt I taw Jessica wearing a Tweety Bird shirt :)

  • Arizona Muse (Next, NY): new face to watch

    Arizona Muse (Next, NY): new face to watch

    Again, Arizona opened and closed both Prada and Miu Miu, opened Chloé, and closed YSL. A star is born.

    Here she is "marching to the beat of her own drummer" style wise...I don't think I saw any other model wearing boots like hers, or anyone else for that matter.

  • Britt Maren (Women, NY): new face to watch

    Britt embracing the long dress trend at Milan Fashion Week. Remember, she already walked Balenciaga, Balmain, Roberto Cavalli during her first European tour.

  • Hailey Clausson (Marilyn, NY): new face to watch

    Hailey Clausson (Marilyn, NY): new face to watch

    From walking Calvin Klein in New York, to Gucci and Versace in Milan, to Dior, Lanvin, and Louis Vuitton (among others) in Paris, it should come as no surprise that U.S. born Hailey has already made her way to Vogue Italia's radar (see Vogue Italia October 2010) with a shoot photographed by Craig McDean.

    With her friendly spirit and excellent career management through Marilyn NY, we'll be sure to see more of her in the future.

  • Maddie Kulicka (Elite, NY): new face to watch

    Maddie Kulicka (Elite, NY): new face to watch

    Polish newcomer Maddie caught a wide variety of Casting Director's eyes this SS17 season. From London's Russell Marsh (opened Dries van Noten at Paris and walked Miu Miu), to New York's Jennifer Starr (she walked Ralph Lauren), to New York's Michelle Lee for KCD (she walked Marc Jacobs).

    The icing on the cake was wrapping up the Paris shows with Lanvin, YSL, and Dior.

    Massive Call Sheet potential for the coming editorial and campaign season.

  • Julia Saner (Elite, Paris): new face to watch, street style debut

    Julia Saner (Elite, Paris): new face to watch, street style debut

    Swiss newcomer Julia didn't walk the New York or London shows, but walked away from Milan and Paris with some of the most illustrious shows to her credit. From Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, and Fendi in Milan to Opening Valentino (3 looks) and walking Givenchy, Lanvin, Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Dior in Paris, she's certainly going to be on the radars for the upcoming campaign and editorial season.

  • Theres Alexandersson (IMG, NY): new face to watch, exiting Jil Sander

    Theres Alexandersson (IMG, NY): new face to watch, exiting Jil Sander

    Theres debuted the international runway circuit with 3 looks in her Calvin Klein exclusive at New York Fashion Week. She later rocked out shows like Jil Sander and Dolce and Gabbana in Milan and Chloé and Lanvin in Paris.

    This is definitely a brand new face that we'll be seeing more of in the future.

    Arizona Muse (Next, NY) exiting Balenciaga in Paris

    Arizona Muse was arguably the new phenomena to watch this last show season. She captured the hearts of a wide set of Casting Directors from London's Russell Marsh to New York's James Scully. She's from New Mexico in case you are wondering and her show credits include opening and closing both Prada and Miu Miu, opening Chloé and closing YSL. I'm sure the Faith Kates team at Next NY will generate some amazing off season action for this new wonder.

    Bo Don (Marilyn, NY) exiting Roberto Cavalli in Milan

    Dutch wonder Bo Don first debuted on the runways at the Fall/Winter 2010 PARIS shows, but this Spring/Summer 2018 season marked her first full circuit of shows. Her appearence in Balenciaga marked two consecutive seasons in the show and her walks in the most directional shows like Cavalli, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs and Chanel point to what is surely going to be a colorful career to manage for the team over at Marilyn.

    Britt Maren (Women, NY) exits Isabel Marant in Paris

    Can you say "Hej Britt!" That's Swedish for you guys out there who want to show love by speaking in Britt's homeland language. I'm sure she'll get lots more love from the Women Model NY team lead by agency head Louie Chaban (the genius behind Agyness Deyn). With appearances in the most directional shows cast by a wide set of influential casting directors this season from opening Alexander Wang (Anita Bitton) to Balmain, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs (Michelle Lee) and Donna Karen (John Pfeiffer), I'm sure the editors at the worlds leading magazines will be taking note of her as well....perhaps Steven Meisel soon too?

    Bambi Northwood-Blyth (Elite, NY) exits Balenciaga in Paris

    Do you come from the land down under? Bambi does and somehow I think her booking value will be up and over the top in the off season. She's got a famous boyfriend (Ksubi co-founder Dan Single), plays in the social scene (maximizes her exposure), caught the eye of Casting Director Ashley Brokaw when she walked Balenciaga, channeled some Lagerfeld Love at Chanel, and apparently is a favorite of LOVE Editor-In-Chief Katie Grand enough to exclusively walk shows Katie styled in London.

    Jessica Clarke (DNA, NY) exits Elie Saab

    New Zealand hits the radar! Jessica debuted by walking a Calvin Klein exclusive. Scoring a Calvin Klein exclusive is like winning a New York Fashion Week MVP award. Past Calvin Klein runway exclusives have included Karlie Kloss (SS08), Natalia Vodianova (SS07), and Lara Stone (SS07). Jessica walked a tiny selection of other shows this season too, cherry picked from the best London, Milan, and Paris had to offer.
