News Updates on: Place Models

179cm // 87 62 90 - German - Motheragency: Place
Place Model's eyecatcher Vanessa Hegelmaier continues climbing up the success-ladder step by step with bookings for W Magazine by Craig McDean, Amica Italy, much love from casting director Russel Marsh and an advertisement campaign for Escada Sports. With such great high end stuff in her pocket, Vanessa (and hopefully the rest of our favs) will surely continue keeping the runway castings tasteful and our eyes highly satiesfied. But what about the Place ladies not been in the industry's spotlights yet? Get to know Antonia and Laila.

Obsessed with: Daphne Groeneveld

Standing at 179cm // Motheragency: Bloom Management

Holland's latest export hit is breaking the limits: With only 16 years old, Daphne Groeneveld ranks according to Vouge UK among the favorite models of Givenchy's chief designer Riccardo Tisci who considered her for the current Resort and - as only the newface - Fall 2010 Haute Couture Collection of Givenchy alongside superstars such as Malgosia Bela and Mariacarla Boscono. This being said, the 5'11 expetional talent is starring in the Fall ads of Miu Miu disseminating the idea of a more youthful and self-confident generation of dolls owning a tad of rebel edge - Fitting virsually so the vision of the collection, the Daphne + Mert & Marcus arrangement must have been the dream combo of the Fall 2010. Though, as much as we loved her having major key bookings under the belt, we were even more excited to receive those natural snaps showing Daphne in her original state: Smooth skin, full lips and a sensuality that we've rarely seen in such a new girl - our hopes for this one are high but justified: the Daphne Groeneveld machine does surely know no stop in the near future.

News Update on: Kirsi Pyrhonen


182cm // 82-63-90 - Finnish - Motheragency: Brand Model Management
With faces like Carla Gebhart, Ilvie Wittek, the Kenny twins and especially Kirsi Pyrohnen who has casted a spell on Vogue Italia's top nobs from Steven Meisel to Paolo Roversi during the last months, DNA Mgmt's emergent elite is supposed to capture the main markets by the time Spring 2011 circuit takes up. We set the bar for Kirsi (discovered by Brand Model Management of Helsinki) very high - as quality never fails. Herewith, new polaroids and outtakes of her latest story in Vogue Italia photographed by Paolo Roversi.

Obsessed with: Codie Young

178cm // 76 61 86 - Australian - Busy Models
Aussie newbie Codie Young has handled a tough schedule that got some blue chip magazine stories to offer: Her debut story for Vogue Australia provided the 17yo Aussie a great start followed up by 2 further major editorials going to be released in the next months. Equipped with Iris van Berne's elegance encountering a rather modest and pensive grace that comes extremely close to what we consider as 'Jil Sander-esque', Codie is going to perfect her skills until she takes over the Fall shows in February (via DNA NY // Viva Models Paris). Now, thanks to her mother agency - Busy Models - we can show you new polaroids of a face you should immediately get to know.

News Update on: Hildie Gifstad

180cm // 80 60 88 - Norwegian - Motheragency: Specimen

Embodying the revival of a more androgynous beauty mainly known from the late 90's, Hildie Gifstad (19yo) is setting new standards in the industry with her rather mature appearance and smart grace, attributes, many of the numerous doll-faces of the last 6 years were lacking. With some important Paris based designers showing interest in faces like these that actually could refresh the catwalks of Spring 2012 which have been filled with the likes of Poly & Co in previous seasons, Hildie should definitely have a great debut in September. For now, she's based in London for further development.

News Update on: Hanne Brüning

_
Hailing from Germany - Motheragency: Mega
The recent weeks brought Hanne Brüning (standing at 178cm) some pleasant suprises. Not that the 20yo stunner whom Mega Model Agency has pinned its hopes on only appeared in the Haute Couture Show of Chanel and those new polaroids turned out to be amazing, it was also Berlin where Hanne was apparently in the spotlights (for Michalsky and Renela Lange, among others). Now Hamburg intown, Vogue options are discussed and plans for a long-time career being shemened - Backed up by Elite Paris & London and there's definitely more in the cards!

News Updates on: FM Agency London


Never mind that UK's rain swept capital might not be the most talked city when it comes to bookings pushing a newface in the public lights - Though, London has proved to be an excellent place for setting up portfolios and getting them ready (and the girls taking them to the castings as well) for further steps to Paris, Tokyo or straight to NYC. One of those London based agencies that we consider a very interesting development factory with a particular but not too 'hardcore-edged' selection of potential candidates for big things to happen is FM Agency of London. Rather keepig their diamonds in the rough on the sideline until the proper time occurs to the right circumstances, FM Agency's strategies seem - according to what we've heard thus far - wise and free of unnecessary ways to expose a girl to her limits.Well equipped with faces such as the following 2 ones, we will show patience and closely follow their progression.

Chitchat with: Anne Sophie Monrad

180cm // 86 62 90 - German - Motheragency: Modelwerk


Summer holidays already in full swing, we are preparing our last features before a small vacation (all for work, of course). And as we cannot (or simply: don't want to) wait until August to present you this set of digitals -truly a piece of loveliness- we have arranged a little chitchat with Modelwerk's current star Anne Sophie Monrad (to be seen in editorials for Elle or even Vogue Italy and the Nina Ricci eyewear ad) to reinforce the ravishing effect of her snapshots. Read more below!

Interview: Anouk Morgan (Photographer)

Mia Temirova by Anouk for Ozon Magazine March 2010


If you are one of those who enjoy a piece of chocolate for cheering yourself up after a stressful day, going for a run to dissipate excess energy or listening to a sad song when feeling depressed - then, we have another, rather convenient way for you to set your feelings and emotions going: Anouk Morgan's pictures. No matter which mood it is, that she captures in an image. No matter if it's joy, darkness, innocence, timidity or aggression. Anouk Morgan is one of those artists who simply manage to not only produce a brilliant picture, but (even more important and admirable) produce a piece of life. Her photographs seem to abound in creativity and impressions. Never too exaggerated. Never too bold or daring and always with that certain timid vibe in them. We were more than happy when we got the chance to talk to the exceptional talent and learn more about her background and thoughts about the industry. Read our interview with Anouk below!

Interview: Quantum 7 Modelmanagement






Within the past years the fashion market in Germany has not only developed itself but still seems steadily growing and expanding. Fast progression and hard work are, what distinguishes the german industry-people. Among them: Patrick & Philipp Schunack, both former models themselves, who founded their own agency in 2009. But even though Quantum 7 Modelmanagement might be a rather new and fresh factorship, the two owners have already managed to build up a very strong company - placing their boys and girls with top agencies all over the world. And with cooperating clients like Burberry, Gucci, Mango or even Prada the ladies and gentleman @ Quantum 7 can be sure to receive an a-class management. Peter Bruder (who walked for Prada, Gianfranco Ferre, Jil Sander or Alexander McQueen), Keno Weidner (to be seen at Versace, Emporio Armani or Iceberg) and their Newface Christian Ochsenfahrt (who already made it to Jil Sander, Yves Saint Laurent, Dries van Noten or Dior Homme in his first season) already could profit from Quantum 7's guidance. Read more in our interview below with the guys from Cologne!

News Update on: Katrin Thormann

180cm // 85 63 90 - German - Motheragency: seeDS.management Berlin
seeDS.management's Nordlicht Katrin Thormann has been classing within our all-time-favorites for exactly 2 years now. Since her very first cover for the August issue of Dazed and Confused 2008 we have been absolutely smitten with the cool blonde. We might not be able to offer campaign or cover news today, however, we think that the brand new snaps that reached our inbox this morning, are a decent compensation for that. And she is not only impressing with her usual, mind-blowing appearance. There is some other, surprising feature in them: a new haircut! Now shoulder length and making her facial features including those cutting-edge bone structure even more prominent, the new hair couldn't be more perfect giving that already Meisel approved face a rather sportive and youthful touch. And as the S/S season is approaching, these attributes should definitely be helpful for Katrin to be back on track in full glory.


Chitchat with: Anastasiia Chorna

177cm // 82 60 88 - Ukrainian - Motheragency: Fashion does it Better
Leaving her first (and probably lasting) impressions during Berlin Fashion Week, FDIB's very own Anastasiia Chorna became quickly one of our favorite newcomers - therefore also ranked among our Berlin FW Recap Favs at the beginning of this week. Although, looking radiant and refreshingly vivacious on the runway, it's especially her test shots which make the 18 year-old Anastasiia a rather serious contender in the modelling scene. A certain feeling that every of her pictures carries with it makes you sure that the camera loves her. We're looking forward to further placements in the main markets (as for now she's just signed to FM London & Cat Model Management Berlin), and will keep you posted when some new digitals of Anastasiia reach our inbox. Prior to that, don't hesitate to read through the chitchat we had with the ukranian stunner right before Berlin fashion week started.

Newface Madness: Signe

176cm // 84 60 89 - German - Motheragency: Modelwerk

Completely new but already in great demand: the 16 year old Signe definitely knows how to get Berlin's best show bookings. Take a look at her recent snaps and the whole review beneath!

Berlin Fashionweek Recap


Appointments here, a replete date book there and duties to fulfil everywhere! Sadly enough, we didn't make it to the full show-schedule in Berlin, but certainly enjoyed what we got to see from the Fashionweek in Germany's capital. And of course, we were not only excited about what our native designers got to offer, but have aswell, always been on the outlook for our favourites just as new, exceptional talents. We made a small but selective collection of our favourite busy bees @ Berlin Fashionweek.

News Update on: Ann Kenny

180cm // 77 59 88 - American - Motheragency: DNA Model Management

The Kennys -  known as the major twin pack and complementing each other so well, it's no surprise to see these two young ladies leaving their marks in the industry. Their memorable faces with eyes that penetrate and features that impress with softness yet are totally remarkable, have already won over several casting directors and clients. We don't even know where to begin... So, let's make one step after another, and start with Ann - who recently extended her portfolio with some increadible (only girl) tests. But she does not only impress with posing or her body language. Ann is a natural stunner, and to give you proof of this: check the rest of her new digitals below.

Chitchat with: Charlotte Nolting

179cm // 81 59 88 - German - Motheragency: Modelwerk
With the first rays of dawn highlighting Charlotte's light blue eyes and delicate freckles, these polaroids (originating from Wilhelmina Models New York) had our full attention when we first saw them in our inbox. Fresh, young and full of dreams - three attributes that describe her accurately. And together with her charming character, perfect proportions and a management that has already brought out several stars (Modelwerk seems to become quite the powerhouse per se) Charlotte is not only ready to build her book in NY now, but also ready to impress some important clients with it. Stay tuned for updates on this one! And read our little chat with Charlotte below.

News Update on: Jana Knauerova




Jana Knauerova. A czech girl with a face to turn heads, a body to admire and posing skills to impress. We loved Jana since her first day as a model - which is a rather long time ago as she made her first experiences abroad with Models1 (London) in 2006. Now, after a decent amount of jobs (count covers for L'Officiel, D Magazine or editorials in German Vogue, Flair and a Just Cavalli campaign to that) she could gain expertise to proove herself as a brilliant print model. But of course, it wouldn't be the fashion industry if it just became reconciled with her status as an editorial girl and doesn't have some surprises left. Surprises which came in a very highlighting way for Jana. Highlighting, as in: going blonde this May! Already looking super gorgeous in her new polaroids above, Jana also had the chance to show how increadibly well she wears her new colour when shooting with the ingenious Chadwick Tyler not too long ago. See the results beneath, be amazed and (most of all) be prepared for Jana climbing up another step on her career status.

Obsessed with: Georgiana Penova



Hailing from Germany (Place Models)
Standing at 177

A well structured face, flawless proportions and a hint of youth & playful spirit - seems like the perfect package that Georgiana (who is german with bulgarian roots btw) brings with her. City Models in Paris and Image in Tokyo have already fallen for her bewitching appeal and attitude. It's just a matter of time until we can see Georgiana going places - all managed by Place, of course.
