Designer's Favorite Models

[tullepen]

Karl is so petty...Olivier Theyskens and Irina Kulikova,Ananbela Belikova,Tanya Dyaglileva,essentially the ethereal ones.

 

[ad041715]

I think Donatella's favorites are: Isabeli, Carmen, Natasha, Vlada, Freja (circa 06), Lily D., Raquel, Caroline T., Mariacarla, and of course, Daria.

Christian Lacroix - Lily Cole...now it's Vlada.

Olivier Theyskens - Vlada was very close to Olivier. She was a favorite of his at Rochas and then at Nina Ricci and he was the first designer she met in Paris.

John Galliano - Karlie, Maryna, Viviane, Georgina, Ksenia, Coco, Stam etc.

Alexander McQueen's favorites were Polina Kasina, Alice Gibb, Tanya, Snejana, Raquel and Magdalena just to name a few.

Karl changes favorites every two seasons

 

[á la Balenciaga]

one of karl lagerfeld's favorites was alek wek(a while backlol:

I don't think Natasha is Miuccia's favorite.

The designers who seem to favor her a lot are :

Gucci (Frida) - 9 Gucci campaigns
D&G - She has continually opened and closed their shows and is very close with them.
Givenchy (Tisci) - They are also very close.
Stella McCartney - I think Stella loves her and has spoke highly about her.
Alexander Wang
Jil Sander (Raf Simmons) - 3 campaigns in a row. Also, Raf has mentioned how Natasha is the epitome of his aesthetic or something along those lines.

Don't forget to mention Blumarine (Anna Molinari) Nat opened 4 times in a row, closed last 2 seasons and got 2 campaigns!

In an interview Maryna said she has become friends
with Domencio and Stephano of Dolce & Gabbana, John Galliano, and Alexander Wang

I would say Maryna is a D&G favorite as well because she has lead the dress finale at D&G for the past 2 seasons..she also did the cruise campaign

i think Iselin is a balenciaga favorite. and Gucci(or rather was) Chanel as well.

 

[IAmLordZen]

Anna Jagodzinska is, I think, a Stella McCartney fave.

 

[wangster]

Looks like Natasha Poly turns into a Karl Fave!!! open Cruse and HC is a very good sign now there's still an ad missing

 

[hysteria]

^ Here were published some pictures from her photoshoot with Karl, I guess it's for German Vogue or Numero Also, she gonna be at Pirelli Calendar by Karl, so yeah, seems like Karl is obsessed by Natasha

 

[adrianadior]

has anybody mentioned Valerija Kelava,i think she is a real prada girl,not to mention that this season she is taking part in the campaign as well

 

[LabelWhore4]

Chanel Iman is a Michael Kors, Dsquared2 (even though they did her dirty), and John Galliano fave

 

[Verene]

Snejana was a favorite of Christian Lacroix for a while (SS 06 - SS 07). Karl seemed to favor her somewhat from SS 06 - FW 08 (obviously not as much as Raquel, Gemma, Freja and Daria.)

Tanya and Anna I. seemed to be favorites of Donatella, but sadly their careers are not helped by this.

Magdalena seems to be a favorite of Antonio Berardi.

 

[Style Savvy]

Stam seems to be a favorite of John Galliano. Christophe Decarnin loves Anna Selezneva; JPG loves Sessilee obviously; Hannah McGibbon of Chloé loves Raquel.

 

[Diesel92]

Frida G (Gucci) - Natasha, Raquel, Freja, Karmen, Anna S, Lily D and from newcomers I'd say Keke

Nicolas G (Balenciaga) - Iselin, Coco, Hilary, Patricia, Mirte, Freja, Edita and newcomers Kirsi & Caroline

Riccardo T (Givenchy) - Natasha, Mariacarla, Natalia, Iris, Adriana, Lara, Lakshmi and newcomer Joan

Karl L (Fendi, KL, Chanel) - Freja, Abbey, Anja, Karmen, Sigrid, Edita, Lara, Irina K, Irina L

John G (Dior, JG) - Georgina, Ksenia, Stam, Michaela, Karlie

Miuccia P (Prada, Miu Miu) - this one is hard since she gets new favorites every season LOL but.... Sasha, Lara, Anabela, Irina K, Lindsey, Valerija, Sigrid, Siri

 

[LabelWhore4]

^I would add Liya to the Balenciaga list then its perfect

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

John Galliano- Karlie, Maryna, Michaela, Thana, Georgina, Ksenia, Magdalena, Alexandra T., Tanya D., Chanel(although she didnt do the cruise or couture show).

Dolce & Gabbana- Natasha, Maryna, Snejana, Sasha, Mariacarla, Chanel, Olga, Vlada, Karlie, Jessica, Caroline

 

[ad041715]

John Galliano- Karlie, Maryna, Michaela, Thana, Georgina, Ksenia, Magdalena, Alexandra T., Tanya D., Chanel(although she didnt do the cruise or couture show).

Dolce & Gabbana- Natasha, Maryna, Snejana, Sasha, Mariacarla, Chanel, Olga, Vlada, Karlie, Jessica, Caroline

Don't forget Lily D! I don't remember how many shows she's opened or closed.

Liya is definitely a favorite of Nicolas. So is Elsa Sylvan. BTW guys, we can't say someone is a designer's favorite just because they have been in their campaign at one time or another. The photographers usually choose the models they want to work with.

 

[kasper!]

Ralph Lauren used to love Tanga Moreau in the 90's

^^the photographer does not decide... the designer does.

^Photographers and stylists obviously has a say on the casting. It just depends whether the designer will allow it or not. I mean, Eliza is not a Balenciaga favorite and yet she has a campaign.
