Antonina “Tonya” Vasylchenko @IMGModels after Yigal Azrouel FW13

It was snowing/hailing so hard that day it actually hurt … love the makeup here! Not sure who did it, Francelle Daly did SS13.

What you generally do all day: I spend most days working from my apartment if I’m not producing a shoot for Valentine or at a modeling job. I spend a lot of time using Skype so I can talk to my business partner Paloma, who lives in LA. We’re constantly discussing branding, photography, collaborations, fabric, and production for our next Valentine project. 

Describe work environment: My apartment has amazing energy and lots of space so I never feel too claustrophobic. I am always listening to my Spotify playlist (Musica Bonita), burning my Milly+Wong candle and drinking La Colombe coffee from my French press. At some point I’ll usually have a casting or a lunch meeting (Hampton Chutney or The Butchers Daughter are my favorites for lunch). And if I’m already out I’ll try to get a workout in at Body By Simone or Equinox in Soho (booty lift Wednesdays woot woot!). If it’s a really good day I’ll meet my boyfriend for drinks and dinner at Barrio Chino when he gets off work. Love me some Mexican! Go home, walk the dog, another Skype with Paloma then chill with my man. Life ain’t so bad.

Marie (マリエ) after @DieselBlackGold SS13 

I love how loose, soft, and comfortable her outfit yet has a little bost from her booties. The pink is adorable and girly too. I really like how her outfit’s structure holds up. She’s an actress/model/blogger and also studying fashion at Parsons. I believe this is her fashion blog, “My Tiny Dancers” this is her food blog, there’s a page you can click to with her updates/news/etc. I don’t fully understand because it is Japanese : ) Also please let me know if she Twitter/Japanese Twitter/a way to send this to her. Thank you! Arigato!

I saw an elderly woman watching the sunset on the High Line today … I didn’t see her family but I hope they were around. I wish I had given her a hug, I was too absorbed in the light …

Frida Gustavsson (IMG Models) on West 13th Street

Frida is 18 years old and from Stockholm, Sweden. She’s currently #20 on models.com but I’m sure she will rise! She is currently in the SS12 Mulberry campaign with Lindsey Wixson (Marilyn). The campaign is very colorful (pastels?) and I like the two young faces together. I tend to like baby-faced models.

She is quite tall (180-184 cm / 5’11”-6’?) and I was instantly reminded me of how she she towered (in a good way!) in the Christian Dior SS12 Haute Couture show. Her gown’s pattern wasn’t one of my favorites but I’m sure it will grow on me. I do like the shape of the Dior gowns, only tall models could pull it off.  

On the more commercial side, Frida is the face for her home country’s H&M Summer 2012 collection. Remember how I mentioned she and Caroline Brasch Nielsen (Marilyn, my go-see photo of her jumping here!) are in the H&M Fall 2011 Consious Campaign together as well? You can see it here. I’m so glad and thankful that I’m seeing a lot of my favorite models over and over again and often working together! Small fashion world!

Last year Frida was a street style star utside of Valentino. Everyone loved her outfit. See one version here on Gastro Chic. 

Frida has tons of other work out right now. Check out her models.com page, Fashion Gone Rogue and this fan site for more detailed information. 

Last notes: Frida was wearing a Swedish Fjallraven book bag, it was quite cold that day, and she is very nice and polite.
