Granted, I've only seen three digitals and a polaroid sheet yet, but Arlenis looks pretty stellar.

I love her! After seeing her polaroids I was wondering if she had a thread. Thank you for starting it. Hopefully there will be much more to come from her.

 

[Li Ya Fan]

Yes, I hope so too. Unfortunately Marilyn never update their site, but hopefully pics will surface elsewhere. She's from the Dominican Republic - does anyone know her last name or mother agency?

Oh, she does look really promising!

What a vision in that last polaroid from COACD. Beautiful features!

 

[penny609]

Totally agree even the three digitals would have been enough to show her huge potential...

Dominican Republic ? Did you try Sokrates Models ?

 

[katherine]

That was my first thought when I heard Dominican Republic, but I'm pretty sure their website is down at the moment.

Anyhow, I'm just going to reiterate what everyone else has said. Great eyes, beautiful bone structure and yet very intense. Thanks for starting her thread LYF!

I just saw her on COACD and she's beautiful!

Banana Republic Fall '08 - Cute Clothes, Cuter Model

Last night's unveiling of Banana Republic's Fall 2008 Holiday/Fall line was like a lot of other fashion week shows, except in April.

It started twenty minutes late, PR girls everywhere, editors pretending to ignore the free champagne, assistants in standing room only - the Vogue girls even held court from their first and second row seats, just like the good old days of February.

The clothes were, of course, perfect Banana Republic - cozy coats, elegant dresses, a muted color scheme of mostly blacks and grays.
But we think the real standout of the night was the models. Not only did Iekeliene walk for the label's 30th anniversary, but we fell in love with a new girl, too -

Meet Arlenis (she's so new we don't even know her last name), a newbie at Marilyn who's not only rumored to be involved in the already infamous Vogue Italia set to drop this July, but who's also a favorite of COACD.

Every time she stepped out on the runway, eyes stopped staring in the direction of the clothes, and went up to try and figure out where in the world this girl came from.

Can't wait to see what she walks in September...

Thanks, I'd like to see more runway pics, that one doesn't look too promising.

 

[romantics]

i agree. i'd love to see more runway pictures because the way they described her at that banana republic show really hyped them up, and that one is kind of... sub par? i honestly think it's the angle that it was shot at though.

Arlenis Peña. I'm pretty sure she's from Ossygeno Models, but they don't have a website...

She's gorgeous, love that gaze but I'd definitely like to see some more full-length shots.

 

[simplylovely]

She looks alittle like Sessilee Lopez on the runway.
