Thank god! I wasn't really sure what all of those girls meant considering they are Elite's stars basically. Hopefully she shows up at all the right places again.

Seven Top Models Assume Unlikely New Professions in the French Video Artist's New Short

The lives of a mechanic, maid and lifeguard take on glamorous new guises with a little help from models including Dorothea Barth Jorgensen, Cameron Russell and Hilary Rhoda in this new short from French video artist Marie Vic. Gearing up for the grueling month of fashion shows around the globe, the seven beauties in the film, all represented by Elite New York City, pose and preen in a tongue-in-cheek take on an alternative career path. “I like to play with props and I really take pleasure seeing things out of context,” explains Vic, who received an MFA in photography from Parsons The New School for Design and has exhibited at the Hendershot Gallery and Eyebeam in New York. “I wanted to compose an eclectic collection of ambiances where the models interact with an arrangement of accessories in a given area of New York to create an oxymoronic situation.” The varied locations include The Mark Hotel in Upper East Side Manhattan, a vogueing ball in Harlem and the boardwalk of Brighton Beach. Vic, who handled every aspect of the production apart from the music, filmed one model individually in each of the locales to create the disparate tableaux. As the director says: “The only thing that runs through the whole video is one pair of Pierre Hardy shoes!” We caught up with Maryland-born Rhoda about the pitfalls and necessities of fashion week.

Our Spring Collections traveled to Jaipur this year where cover girl Valerija, photographers Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, and the BG team fell in love with the colors and energy of this special land.

I hope this doesn't sound odd, but she reminds me so much of Marina Abramović, they have a really intellectual, dark beauty about them that I just can't get enough of. I'm glad to see her doing work with Bergdorf, she's probably racking in some good cash

Those plastic wrap pieces are so...strange, but Valerija looks amazing.

This girl seriously cannot stop giving her 100%. She is forever one of the best print models in my eyes.

This girl seriously cannot stop giving her 100%. She is forever one of the best print models in my eyes.

Words of wisdom, amen. And this makes me think how neglectable is the number of shows a model walks per season. The ultimate goal of fashion modeling isn't, after all, the creation of unforgettable imagery? She seems to be that kind who relentlessly creates these haunting images, those that stick to your memories even when you close the magazine.

And, Moofins, I agree these plastic wrap pieces are odd ingredients but that's Valerija's own magic to turn these strange and sometimes wicked situations into beautiful scenes, just like this older picture of hers where she was showing her breast to a fake gorilla. Just one of the best all-time performers around and incredible storyteller.

I feel like Valerija really doesn't need to walk shows anymore, at least a full season, a few selective appearances and loads of amazing, strong print work is truly enough for her career. I completely agree with you, I can picture almost every editorial Valerija has done even after closing a magazine, her work forever resonates in my mind.
