Style Minutes 13 Top Breakout New Faces of S/S 2013
Ondria Hardin from the United States
Ford New York – Storm London – Elite Milan – Elite Paris
23 Shows | Open: 0 | Close: 1
Highlights: The most confident and assured girl of the 13 standout fresh faces is also the youngest. Recently turned 16, Ondria started her high fashion modeling career as one of the faces of the Prada F/W 2011 campaign at age 14. She is the coolest and most controversial runway model at the moment. In the past 2 seasons, she has been walking in a handful of shows only in New York while underage. Disregarding the recommended age restriction guideline set by the CFDA and Vogue and the continued online media criticisms, major tastemakers such as Marc Jacobs, Steven Meisel, Miuccia Prada, and Karl Lagerfeld are in love with the mature beyond her years South Carolina native. Having met Ondria on serveral occasions, we agree that Ondria should definitely be a rare exception. Her S/S 2013 show list include mostly exclusive top casting that consisted of Diesel Black Gold, Marc Jacobs, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Emilio Pucci, Gucci, Jil Sander, Prada, Versus, Chanel, Balenciaga, Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Nina Ricci. She also landed the prestigious honor of closing the Valentino show in Paris, and Karl Lagerfeld recently confirmed that Ondria will join Stella Tennant as the face of the Chanel S/S 2013 campaign — proving that personality and attitude are also major considerations when it comes to selecting a new modeling star!
