Fashion Models [Search results for Marc Jacobs] 

User generated street style sites helped spawn the era of the personal style blog. Lookbook.nu and Chictopia collectively created enough social media attention to pave the way for the individual personal style blog phenomena. In an unprecedented move, L'Oreal Paris has created a new niche for user generated content: yourstyleyourstudio.

And it's all about Haute Hair.

Inna has an affinity for things high fashion. Besides walking shows like Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen this last season, she's seen wearing pants by Marc Jacobs and a belt by Galliano here.

Since 1978 Bill Cunningham, the photographer for the Sunday "On the Street" Section of the New York Times has been changing rolls of film..he shoots with at least one film camera.

This is Sheila Marquez of Women Management. She's walked for Chloé, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Derek Lam and Marc Jacobs. She's appeared in editorials for Russian Vogue, ID, and recently had a 10 page editorial in VOGUE Spain.

I saw Swedish sensation Frida at New York Fashion Week wearing another version of a brown blazer but wasn't able to get a clean shot. At least here in London I was able to grab a shot that shows her Dr. Martens, long socks over tights, and another one of her brown blazers. Yes, I'd guess she likes brown blazers :)

She's having a massively successful season so far including opening New York's Richard Chai show, opening London's Luella and Pringle of Scotland's shows, and walking a host of other major shows including among others:

New York: Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Isaac Mizrahi, and Carolina Herrera.

London: Christopher Kane, Topshop Unique, Richard Nicoll, and Jaeger London

Frida really truly continues to dazzle the modeling world with her runway show accomplishments this season. From Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Rodarte in New York to Christian Dior AND Lanvin at Paris, Frida's success this fashion month is mesmerizing.

I was standing on the corner of Prince and Mercer with the intent of capturing random stylish people on Saturday afternoon.

Then I saw one of the photgraphers I had made friends with from New York Fashion Week. He was waiting outside of the Mercer Kitchen...awaiting the arrival and departure of the ever present celeb that visits the Mercer Kitchen.

Minutes later, Marc Jacobs walked out, his SUV slowed almost to a complete stop and I asked if I could "get a shot?" to which he kindly replied, "yes".

Thanks Marc!

This is Adam. The first thing I noticed about him was his quirky retro styled hair cut. Then I noticed a traditional double breasted jacket modernized by it's asymmetrical zippers, length, and epaulettes. Naturally, he color coordinates the coat with the striped shirt. The kiltie vamped oxford shoes in blue really put together a total outfit.

At Paris Fashion Week

At Paris Fashion Week in the Tuileries

At Milan Fashion Week

Ruby just completed her first ever full circuit of fashion shows during the Fall/Winter 2010 season in pristine standing. She opened Marc by Marc Jacobs, walked Marc Jacobs, closed Lanvin and even walked the Christian Dior show. And she's already following up on that amazing first season with equally amazing off season results as well: a major campaign with a major photographer and a new feature on Vogue Italy. <--click link to see

But what I'm sure everyone here will really appreciate is her consistent sense of personal style. Whether in trailblazing the Versace show in Milan or racing out of the Christian Dior show in Paris, Ruby always looked good and always had an amazing attitude. She was always willing to take an extra minute to itemize the clothes she was wearing for the photographers and she never did so impatiently either. In the craziness that pervades everything during fashion week, that says a lot about a person.

We'll be seeing more of her in the future for sure.

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.

Valerija Sestic (Women, NY) exits the SS17 Donna Karan show

Valerija Sestic exits the SS17 DKNY show

Valerija Sestic exits the SS17 Prabal Gurung show

Valerija has never ever walked a single runway season until now. She has already walked BCBG Max Azria, Rag & Bone, Prabal Gurung, Doo.Ri, DNKY, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, and the Marc by Marc Jacobs shows. While she may look sweet in these photos (which she no doubt is!) with a face as FIERCE -- yes all caps -- as her's, she's definitely going to have places to go and people to see this season.

The first time I took Marc's picture, I discovered that he was a friendly guy, as he optimistically smiled for my camera. The second time I took his picture, my initial impressions were further confirmed as he told the Mercer Kitchen security guard it was okay for me to take a picture. Thanks!

Runway show success during season ideally leads to pages, pages, and more pages of editorial and campaign success in the off season, which in turn ideally lead to more high end campaigns and editorials. If runway season first timer Ruby Aldridge's recent show success is any indicator of her future high end editorial assignments, we are sure to see a lot more of her gracing the glossy pages of the world's high end magazines:

Opened -- Marc by Marc Jacobs
Opened -- Erdem
walked -- Just Cavalli, Versace, Gucci, Pucci, Missoni

Elana is a Fashion News intern at Teen Vogue and we found each other outside of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue and Central Park South. The first time I spotted Elana was at New York Fashion Week last September in a gorgeous Rag and Bone dress. As you can see, we had a bit of fun as we bought a pretzel off a street vendor to feed Ricki the horse, stood inside Central Park and shot Columbus Circle in the background, and then got a bit creative at the end with the tree branches.
