i dont know why these designers are so hooked with Freja Erichsen. She is so not photogenic at all. She always appears to be either frowning or angry.

i dont know why these designers are so hooked with Freja Erichsen. She is so not photogenic at all. She always appears to be either frowning or angry.

her beauty is unconventional but she still exudes a lot qualities that a model ought to have. shes nice to look at. she walks well. although she may not be (as yet) as amazing as gisele, naomi or carmen, shes already showing signs of a supermodel in the making. she is unique. and thats whats going to keep her in the business longer than the others.

i don't know . . . .but the one time where a model opening a show has really, and i mean REALLY, smashed me in the face --- it was when Karolina opened up the Victoria's Secret show in 2001. She came out in that white get up with the long red boots. that was the first time i ever saw her and she was INSTANTLY my favourite.



the way her hips moved and her unarguable runway presence. . .i think she is a great choice to open a show.

OK, now the Spring/Summer shows are over, I made a list of all the show-openers to see which models opened the most shows. I used style.com, vogue.co.uk and elle.com, so if something's wrong it's their fault

No surprise to see Gemma, along with Freja came out on top with 11 shows each!!

So, there we have it. I'm surprised Elise or Hana opened no shows, but it shows that the newer girls are taking over from the older models. What does everyone else think?

 

[eostre]

Behati opened Jessica Ogden and Gharani Strok

she´s lovely, I don´t think I´ve seen her before, how old is she?

 

[gaucherive]

wow, that's one extensive research you've done there xEmma2k5x! and to have to arrange them as well. whew. hands down to you. you deserve a karma. vbmenu_register("postmenu_1100143", true);

 

[xEmma2k5x]
