Kelly Mittendorf

[lebigt]

I cannot wait to see what becomes of Kelly. Only Miuccia/Ashley Brokaw (in this case) could create SUCH a buzz about one very unique girl. I'm so excited!

Strange beautiful creature. Will be interesting to see if she's a long distance runner or a one season wonder?

 

[darlin]

i also think she's gorgeous, and i quite like the polarity in some reactions i've seen around. her look reminds me of some feral cat, something totally wild and vulnerable and curious. oh, i can't wait to see more of her.

 

[hysteria]

I remember when I saw her for the first time a few months ago and I immediately fell in love with her. I knew that she is gonna be huge one day..She has such a strong look and actually I could never imagine Kelly in the Prada's ads, she is not a typical Prada girl, but looks the best among all of those girls, she overshines the rest!

Was gone for a few days, so happy to see her in the Prada campaign especially since I totally loved her look from the start! It's funny because I tweeted her awhile ago, "You're totally going to get Prada next season!" Well, she got it this season without even walking haha!

I'd say she's one season wonder but we'll see. Don't think there will be lot of room for her in high fashion even though she's got that unusual vibe, it's quite awkward. Once she does all the stuff right for her type of 'beauty' she'll probably be forgotten. I don't see much potential in her. I predict 1 season, 2 tops.

^ I don't agree. Kelly's sculptural yet sleek facial features are (visually) something very new , she looks like a statuary from the renaissance to my eyes. And the genuine positivity she brings along in all those shots makes me dying to see more of her, she got plenty of personality and can express something in print which is just great especially at that early stage of her career.

 

[Flyest]

yeah photoshopped she might look interesting but I don't think her features are that special. unique yes but overall I think she won't have lots of fans. people still prefer pretty models to those awkward looking, therefor I don't think she'll be that succesful. she reminds me a bit of Linn Arvidsson but I still prefer Linn to Kelly.

In truth, there have been models like Kelly in the past...Adina Fohlin, Marcelle Bittar, who have somewhat similar features to Kelly but none of them particularly got anywhere. Also Prada models seem to disappear after a while...Ymre, Meghan

 

[pavonine]

If you ask me, I think she looks a bit like Emma Stone the most. Especially when she grins.

 

[TwentiesDream]

I really want to see Kelly succeed! She seems really cool, down-to-earth, and sweet based on her responses to tumblr questions, and I just LOVE her look. Hopefully she'll have an amazing season

this was the exact comparison I made in the Prada thread... she will definitely take some time getting used to, but I am not sure how long her look will be in demand

 

[citygrrl]

I don't know, her appeal reminds me of Lindsey Wixson's who has been around longer than I expected her to be. We'll see, I guess.

Prada F/W 2011 campaign, ph. by Steven Meisel

With this shot it is clear that she is the campaign's star. Some have noted that this looks messy and boring, but she seems to be the only one with any dynamism; true, they are all lounging about, but Kelly brings a mystery to the table. She will do very well with development and old-fashioned experience.

^ Love it! I like how the colours are placed to look the most striking. Although, I was hoping the fish scale dresses would be shot so that the scales were the focus of the shot, but this is still beautiful.

 

[citygrrl]

Love how Kelly is the star of the campaign

Gorgeous gorgeous girl. Reminds me of something I'd expect to lurk under my bed but in the best way possible.

Her look is a bit UFC to me, memorable & impressive anyway.
