Lolita...that was so funny!!! I love that picture!it's so genuine!!! I luv Susan so much-she is nuts! She definitely has the whole late sixties early 70's rock star look happening...a little more Robert Plant than Van Halen perhaps.....but still hillarious!

she's a rocker !

im still seeing eddie tho'

i cant get too off topic

...I have a feeling she will be huge.

isn't she already huge?

 

[zoelemon]

Not really...she is kind of well known among fashion "insiders" or people like us who have special interest in such things- but she hasn't done as many campaigns and such-as other girls....she is still considered very unconventional.I also meant more along the lines of "Huge"...not just in fashion but that perhaps one day she will be known by more people as opposed to only people involved or interested in fashion to the extent that people who read these posts are.Much like Kate moss...who was unconventional when she came out and now people are interested much more in her as a "personality" or public figure...they are interested in her personal life as well as her work.I hope that explenation clears up kind of what I meant.......

I am surprised that she does not get many campaigns..or work..I mean yes..she
works..but she should get more attention also...she is very beautiful..and has an
amazing personality..she has a personality that no other model possesses.

 

[Bright Tahquil]

She is one of my favourite models, her smile gives her a really individual look. I didn't realise she was so popular though.

 

[Amélie]

um...did she not do D&G, Paul and Joe...i consider her an indie model...like doing heaps of indie mags like Another Magazine and stuff like that.

i mean, she's not like Kate, but she huge compared to all the other models down the line...

 

[zoelemon]

I never said she was like Kate. I think that she is very much like Kate when Kate was staring out. At that point Kate was indie until she broke through in Calvin Klein's campaign.I could see something very similar happening for Susan.She wouldn't be afraid to do something totaly unique with a campaign.Much like Kate's thin frame and nudity in Calvin's add campaign for Ck.......................................................................... here is an EARLY kate pic-before hitting it big with Calvin Klein

susan now compared to early kate

 

[Bright Tahquil]

Yes, I can see the similarities, although that might also be because they're in the same sort of pose, both wearing black tops.

But if I can try to imagine 'early' Kate with a fringe and some curls I can definately see what you're getting at.

 

[purplelucrezia]

If you look at the new pictures of Natalia Vodianova at Cannes, you'll likely see more similarities between those two models. I know I did...

 

[zoelemon]

I don't think that is at all the point I was trying to make. I am not trying to discuss who she most resembles. To begin with- poor natalia who usually looks great looked awful at cannes. She is a completely different model and personality than susan. I was trying to reference Kate as an attempt to discuss susan's future. I think both her and kate have a very specific look and personality that REALLY come through in their work that Natalia does not. Natalia represents a youth that is married has a child, is more regal and elegant depiction of youth. Early kate makes of think of crazy party animal kate- who got drunk dated a famous fashion photographer (mario sorrenti) went out and lived life to the fullest in new york...later was known for her antics with johnny depp...was always smiling with her imperfect teeth and cool laid back look/attitude ....a perfect mixture of elegance and imperfection....child and woman. Susan also represents this...she is always acting happy and spontaneously backstage and during shoots like a woman/child...she also is dating a famous fashion photographer (terry richardson)...she is young- has a similar body shape..etc...I was only alluding to how her career could translate into something like Kate's if she plays her cards right.......I see natalia more a the type to do things that are less spontaneous and have less indie cred; and settling down with her family.Just an observation.

 

[zoelemon]

stefanie-i think you understand exactly what I mean!

 

[purplelucrezia]

Sorry, I wasn't intending to cause an argument, just point out the similarities between the two. It's totally fine if you don't agree with that impression.

 

[SCBlondie]

Natalia and Susan are both in thier 20's but look like they are in thier early teens. That's why I think those two are alike. But I them both.

 

[AlmostFamous]

Indie Model?

She has done major campaigns...

Sisley and Eres...

And tons of stuff in Milano. Phard,to name one I can remember. Her face was EVERYWHERE while I was there.

 

[Bright Tahquil]

I understand what you're saying zoelemon.
I can see how their personalities etc are similar...but I can also see some similarities in their looks too.

And I agree with your lil rant there, everything you've said is true. Nicely said.
