Runway Review S/S12: Mackenzie

Mother Agency: Stars Model Management (Booking: kkotik@starsmodelmgmt.com) With Marilyn Agency in New York

How gorgeous are these new digitals on Mackenzie Drazan, please?
Something I appreciate about this San Francisco beauty is the fresh yet heart-stoppingly unique vibe she manages to emanate. She is so pristine and alluring in her very own way - And numerous designers seem
to agree with me on this one. Been exclusive to Balenciaga up to the show, Mackenzie proved to be able
to stand out for her indescribable beauty without overpowering the directional looks she got to showcase this season. The perfect harmony. Speaking of major fashion houses she walked for, lay back and enjoy my collection of Mackenzie's most beautiful appearances this season: Click here.

Marie walked Céline (O), Yves Saint Laurent and Miu Miu in Paris this season.

Isabella

I find it very interesting how Isabella's youthful, quirky features melt with her darkly mysterious charm. 

Isabella hails from Brazil and walked Oscar de la Renta, Dolce Gabbana, Chanel and Miu Miu this season.

Hayley

Mother Agency: Mode Models (Contact: michael@modemodels.com) View portfolio here

Does Canada ever sleep? It has become so hard to keep track of Canadian newcomers since agencies over there just keep launching one amazing face after the other. And for that reason I totally put Mode Models' latest talent Hayley Tomich on my watchlist because she is both shimmering and ready-for-export. It looks more than likely there will be many clients to find insparation in this impossibly good-looking girl. Watch out! 

Charlotte

Mother Agency: Folio Montreal (Contact: marie@foliomontreal.com) View portfolio here 


My latest obsession from Canada is Charlotte. She's hailing from Folio Models in Montreal - Mother Agency behind Meisel muse Anais Pouliot. Simply put, Charlotte is down-right amazing. A vision of crystal clear delight, this young lady emanates purity and beauty in the most obvious manner. Folio has built up a strong book for Charlotte within her first year of modeling so be positive she will be ready for international exposure soon.

Henna

Represented by Ford Models Europe (Booking: steeven.kanoo@fordmodelseurope.com) View portfolio here

Finnish newcomer Henna from Ford Models Europe had some great Parisian clients chasing after her this season - This nymph performed powerfully on the avant-garde runways of Rick Owens, Masion Martin Margelia and Comme des Garcons. Digital Diamonds is particually amazed by Henna's laid-back intensity
as it totally rounds up her Nordic sophistication. We are very keen to see what the fashion industry has in store next for Henna!

Elena

Mother Agency: PMA Hamburg (Booking: alexandra@promod.org)  With Ford Models in Paris

Development Diaries are usually not my cup of tea but I was impressed by the new tests on previously featured newcomer Elena so I thought it would be fun to share them with you.
177cm tall and part of PMA's wonderfully growing Image Division, Elena arrived in her home town Hamburg today after a short trip to Paris with Ford Models Europe. Elena has this certain lush, kind of romantic twist to her very natural beauty which keeps me excited waiting for more on her.

Ani

Mother Agency: Iconic Management (Contact: nolden@iconicmanagement.com) View portfolio here

Iconic Management would like to introduce freshly scouted Ani K from Hamburg. 

I'm really smitten with her soft complexion and piercing gaze. And I do have the feeling she will produce excellent things, so stay tuned for more on this Nordlicht!

Ophelie

Represented by M Management in Paris 

Ophelie walked Prada and Miu Miu this season and is simply stunning. 

Anna Zanovello

Represented by Wilhelmina Models in New York (Booking: Roman.Young@wilhelmina.com)

This elusive blonde is Anna Zanovello at Wilhelmina Models in New York and she's by far one of the coolest girls I've seen this year. Her international career kicked off in NY this season (where she opened Altuzurra and walked for Philisophy & DKNY) and quicky gathered momentum in Milan via Max Mara, Dolce Gabbana and Francesco Scognamiglio. I just can't get my eyes off this Italian bella because both her runway and print presence are gorgeous and go far beyond what is expected from newfaces these days. Expressive, energetic and charismatic - Anna, you are simply bellissima!

Roberto

Mother Agency: mraModels in Bucharest (Booking: liviu@mramodels.ro) Click here for portfolio

Hailing from Dracula's Land or respectively Transylvania in Romania, sixteen year old Roberto wanted to become a police officer until his motheragent George from mraModels detected him on Facebook. 

He now wants to become a top working model and is about to leave his home town Cluj.

Blessed with a very unique look, Roberto is placed to Inderpentent Men in Milan. 

Eliza

Represented by Busy Models in Australia (Contact: summer@busymodels.com) 

Remember this beauty? I featured Eliza roughly one year ago and just came across her new digitals taken by her motheragent Summer. Eliza is about to turn 16 which is still pretty young but a brief look at these great shots leaves no doubt Eliza is growing into her soft beauty as she matures - already standing 5'10.5 tall. Definitely worth to follow!

Daga

Represented by Elite Model Management in Paris 

Very curious to see if and how far Daga's catwalk success will transcend into something.

Richie

Sophie Anne

(Contact: karimrekik@dulcedo.ca)

Dulcedo rookie Sophie-Anne was scouted by their new junior agent two weeks ago. 

Her refined features and dark intensity make clear this girl is one to watch from Canada. 

You can view her portfolio here!

Nico

Mother Agency: Iconic Management (Booking: info@iconicmanagement.com) Click here for portfolio

Iconic newcomer Nico is sensational. She has a quiet sensuality coupled with a lithe coolness that leaves me speechless everytime I spy a look at her work - Placed to Oui Management in Paris and Tess in London, Nico is ready for the next level, watch out! 

Lisa

Mother Agency: Place Models (Booking: yannis@placemodels.com) Click here for portfolio

Yannis from Place Models recently recruited Lisa for his agency who immediately won over me. 

Standing at 5'10 and blessed with lithe allure, Lisa easily pulls off both commercial and editorial so be certain to see a lot from this versatile brunette in the near future. 

Rose

First day digitals of natural beauty Rose hailing from Dulcedo Model Management. Click here for more info.

Anne

Represented by SMC Management (Wiesbaden) and Marilyn Agency (Paris)

Sixteen year old Anne Krüger was scouted by motheragent Veronique in Wiesbaden and is located in Paris with Marilyn Agency at the moment. At the very beginning of her career, she is also confirmed to Why Not Models in Milan and Marilyn Model Agency in New York.
Funny note: Anna visited the same school as her SMC colleague & Digital Diamonds favourite Sarah Kees who is also in Paris right now.

Julia

Elusive Julia knows her angles and has a soulful vibe to her unique beauty. 

Ewelina

 Mother Agency: Eastern Models

Hailing from Poland via Eastern Models, newcomer Ewelina walked Celine in Paris this season.

Anna Maria

Represented by Oui Management (Booking: hd@ouimanagement.com) Click here for portfolio

DD particularly enjoyed Givenchy casting yesterday night as Tisci mustered a bloody intriguing model army for his latest show. All girls looked so alluring and darkly divine under his entheal designs, and as for show debutants, the one who really stood out for me was Anna Maria. The hair, the frame, the sweet melanchony in her blue eyes - This young lady is gold. From Hamburg and pretty multi tasked, Anna Maria used to be a singer before Oui Management got her on board - And oui can assure you she is ready for stage.

Julia, she's so cinematic.
