L to R: Karlie Kloss (Next, NY), Tati Cotliar (Next, NY), Jourdan Dunn (Women, NY)

In a world (the fashion world) where people commonly mistake their public image of who they represent with who they really are on the inside, it's always freeing to meet someone who intuitively makes you feel like they know who they truly are on their inside. I've always felt a bit of this authenticity with Karlie which I think this picture displays.

An easy alternative to the timeless sundress for summer, Karlie (Next, NY) wears the drawstring waist, snap cuffed sleeves, and a top knot for her hair -- all with effortless ease.

With the weather being rainy and cloudy these last few days in New York City, I thought this photo of Karlie in her 1940's Betty Paige lock inspiration might brighten up everyone's day.

There's not much you can add to Karlie's performance this last season. She opened 4 shows in Paris, closed 4 shows in New York, and walked some 41 shows in total.

What can be said though is that I'm finally going back to New York today! Woot! While traveling in Europe for 26 nights is fun, it's always nice to come home and sleep on your own bed in your own place.

Together at the Fall/Winter 2010 New York Fashion Week shows

Together at the Spring/Summer 2018 Paris Fashion Week shows

The first time I shot Frida and Karlie together, I was really trying to get a shot of them standing side by side, since they are both at eye's glance, of similar height. Thought with two seasons worth of shots, you could finally get a decent idea.

Karlie!

Okay, it's no secret that at The Fashion Spot, members compile lists of their favorite girls as a season progresses to see how many shows they opened, closed, and walked in total. Models.com took it upon themselves to organize the top 10 most active girls from information assembled at the fashion spot forums. The list is compiled from participation in shows from New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Here are the top 10 most active girls with there being a 4 way tie for 5th place. Information attributable to models.com and The Fashion Spot forums.

As seen leaving the Elie Saab show together on the third day of the Couture shows.

ON DUTY ANALYSIS: ELIE SAAB'S COUTURE SHOW (for fun)
I'm no expert on runway show analysis, but I'll go out on a limb and say that Elie Saab was a good value show for the models that got to walk it:

--44 looks
--19 different girls, which improves mathematical odds for future face recognition and bookings/casting requests
--each girl walked the runway a minimum of two times, double face exposure time at minimum for each girl
--6 girls walked the runway three times (Karlie Kloss, Jac, Sigrid Agren, Magdalena Frackowiak, Kasia Struss, Karmen Kass)= triple face exposure time for girls lucky enough to walk three times.
--the face of each girl was still recognizable, unlike some shows where the girls face is disguised by makeup and/or costume

finish summer: oversized shirts worn as a mini-dress

go into fall with blue on black, understated color palette

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) 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.

Cut off denim shorts with a cable knit sweater (sleeves rolled up) for a an easy seasonal transitory outfit for fashion week from summer to fall.

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.
