A little out of my element - Paige on 2nd Avenue
Paige is a dominatrix and pinup model who had just gotten back from long flight from Japan but it doesn’t look like it, right?
It’s not my style but I always like red and black. She was really bubbly and nice and I think she dresses really well for her body. She’s a good model and knows how to present herself in public.
This is nothing against her personally but I prefer people to stand straight with their arm’s at their side or whatever pose they were in before I asked to take their photo because the way they were standing unconsciously not knowing a camera pointed at them is what I’m really interested in. I didn’t really like her pose at first but after letting it sit a few days, I don’t mind - there are poses I like but I always want the subject to feel comfortable and that their photo represent themselves of course.

An Instagram snap from Jeffrey Fashion Cares last night - Jae Yoo at Soul Artist Management
Arizona (Muse at NEXT) at the FAM Exquisite Corpse event back in February - she was hosting and looked great as usual. Congratulations to Arizona on her new Estee Lauder contract.
Wang Xiao (Wilhelmina) before Costello Tagliapietra (Personal Style) - She is fun and cool - always wearing bright colors, accessories, and patterns! Check out my shot of her at castings here.
Sui He (New York Models) leaves Richard Chai FW12
G-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. She’s so adorable but she can pull off so many looks.
Check out “Sui He’s Chic” video of her by models.com and Kloss London from this season. She was on W Magazine’s Cover this past November by Max Vadakuhl and Ai Wei Wei among her many editorials, campaigns (Lane Bryant with the other Chinese models), and shows. I like to visit this blog to stay updated with my asian models! http://asianmodelsblog.blogspot.com Sui is ranked #19 at models.com See her page here.
Modeling is soooo hard ;) - Backstage at General Idea (liked the show, haven’t seen a lot of menswear and I wanted to wear it! Fun! Sporty! Cool!)
See some more backstage shots here which I assisted Kristiina Wilson for.
Thumbs up! Fashion week is going well! Lots of work to do! Coffee and focus! xx

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.
MARIE PIOVESAN @ MARILYN between shooting and casting!
One of my favorite models! I met her while interning at Harper’s Bazaar. She opened Celine in Paris and is now one of the faces of Celine. What a beautiful French/Italian woman.
