Reprint from Elle Spain?

She’s always soooooo boring.

 

[Bertrando3]

I've said it over and over again: she's one of the most boring looking models ever from that decade.
She's just lucky to be tall and blonde. She doesn't emote anything like Anja Rubik or Raquel Zimmermann or Lily Donaldson used to.
I've also noticed that she only almost does covers with Xavi Gordo for spanish publications and that's all; or like her a reprint.
As a french person I would hardly call that ''la topissime'' ahahhaha (from the coverline on that french Elle cover which means in french something like ''one of the very best'' ahahaha).
She's ok-ish but yeah there are hundreds of much better models.
I guess her face takes well makeup when she used to be beauty edits for french Vogue Paris but yeah I don't see anything in her.

I think it's a beautiful cover, very sexy.

Indeed, and a great choice of a reprint at that! I fell completely in love with this Toni Garrn back in May, which felt oh so perfectly suited to Elle magazine and gave us that hint of a sultry summer which Emmanuelle Alt's Vogue Paris would gift us on the regular.

I love how French Elle have given us the more daring cover image, as opposed to Elle Spain who went with a shot of Toni wearing a Chanel jacket over a swimsuit as their main newsstand cover. The orange masthead and fonts work wonderful with the hues of the cover image itself too. Zero complaints here!

Isn't being born with the ability to emote just as much about luck as being born tall and blonde (and beautiful)?

I honestly think that modeling is like a sport or an ability, NOT every good-looking person/model is capable of actually posing and emoting.

I've been working in the fashion industry for over 20 years both as a former model, editor and now as a photographer and I've probably worked with over 400 models in the last 13-14 years behind the camera and I can truly say that many models have the look and present well on castings or go-sees in their own agencies' lobby but when you make test shoots or proper editorials they do not know how to pose or how to use their ''great dna'' therefore I can say that emoting and giving something to the camera isn't something models or people are born with, it's something you learn, just like runway walking, one can have the look but not the ability to model.
