For model watchers, the Big Apple is the first stop on a global parade of shows that makes (and breaks) careers. For NEW MODELS NEW YORK, our exclusive preview of Spring 2012 in V74 The Model Issue, we ask 4 New York designers known for directional castings to name their favorite new girl. Marc Jacobs selects Jamie Bochert.
V Why did you choose Jamie as your favorite new model of the moment?
MARC JACOBS Of course Jamie is technically not a new model, but every season that I work with her I am reinspired by her, so in that sense she’s always new.
V In your opinion, what makes a good model?
MJ Someone you know and love who understands you and your process but also brings new energy to a collection—there’s nothing better than that.
