Which Model(s) Have You Met In Person?

[dsamg]

I used to love this thread. Used to be such great stories and so exciting to meet models in real life. Now it just seems very whatever doesn't it with the new generation of models, like they're just normal people and not like these fascinating goddesses. Maybe because of Instagram we have too much access or maybe it's something else.

Interesting thread! I have mostly seen models between Denmark and Germany

I meet Caroline Brasch Nielsen or Bille Brahe quite often. She is very pretty and stylish as you all guessed but cannot say too much about her. I talked to her in a group but she was very quiet.

Saw Toni Garrn twice. Super tall and striking and a lot less stylish hehe but what else is new.

Sat across Antonia Wesseloh on a train once she seemed kind and had flawless skin.

Met and talked to Veruschka at a gallery opening once. She was very quiet and had this intense glare as if she was reading you. That excited me I must say, even made an effort to speak to her.

Saw Janine Henkes who walked Givenchy in 2009 or so, not so impressed.

Then I see Frederikke Sofie, Nadja Bender, Helena Christensen and Lykke May every now and then. Also saw Kirstin Liljegren but she annoyed me because she seemed to feel herself a little too much. Who gets off a bus and does a hair flip?

I'm sure there are others but these are the ones I remember. It's very unimpressive to meet models I feel...

Has anyone met Sasha Pivovarova? She seems so lovely and genuine
And Poly is anything but a class act, anyone can pretend to be a class act. Hopefully one of the superior slavics will bounce back one day (though I don't expect it to happen) and show her and Natalia that they are here on the mercy of connections with severe lack of talent and looks

Why do you say that about Poly?

This is exactly me meeting her so to speak, but Lorena Rae is very kind and seems to genuinely love her fans, a friend of mine actually sent his entire collection of her magazine covers to her to be signed and she featured his stuff on her stories. Its striking to me that models don't have first dibs on their own covers, like one of the issues which he let her keep she didnt actually have which I find crazy.

So because someone believes that they had a good interaction with Natasha and calls her a class act, you want to undermine it with no proof?

I’m not sure if this counts, but there’s been a couple of times where I’ve messaged Hilary Rhoda and she’s really sweet!

Say what you want about Natasha Poly but no one can deny the girl is a professional to a T. Sometimes that alone can take you very far in this industry.

I was in the same flight as Mariacarla Boscono today from Florence to Paris. She looks amazing! Beautiful silhouette, she didn't look that tall, very stylish, super fresh face. She was also very discreet, queuing with everyone else, not acting like a diva like one may think... she was watching the Balenciaga show on her phone at some point. I hope she walks a few shows this week.

Also at my gym in Paris, I often see models there - the blond, runway filler kind. None of them have ever appeared as particularly striking in person...

I was a student in London once upon a time and have bumped into Lily Donaldson at Whitechapel underground and Malaika Firth also on the underground. Lily was cool and friendly, Malaika seemed bothered by the attention- sorry!

Met former Prada and Miu Miu campaign face, Estella Boersma, in Melbourne recently. She's now a techno DJ, a good one I must say. Saw her performance and came up to her after her set for small talk and took pics with her, very humble girl, it was just a pleasant experience talking to her. And loving her new sleek hairstyle!

I met Christy Turlington in front of Michelangelo’s David in my hometown, many years ago. Stunning. Always in Florence I saw Maria Carla Boscono having dinner in a restaurant and last year I met Meghan Roche in front of my motorbike: she was in town for the Luisa Via Roma event.
