Agyness, Suvi Get Opening Spots
Jan 30, 2008 @ 11:10am
Model casting for most shows hasn't been finalized yet, but we hear some opening slots have already been given out:![]()
Separate sources gush that Agyness Deyn, 24, and Suvi Koponen, 19, are getting to open some of the shows that start next week.
But which ones?
You silly girls... we totally can't tell you that.
Yet.
Wink.
(Guesses, anyone?)
But the thing is, the exclusivity buzz is moving over to a lot of other houses such as Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Jil Sander who actually do deliver stars consistently.
I´m happy for Agness cause she´s really an original girl.

No Laura Hollins is the original girl![]()
ABBEY LEE, Next
"She's not 14 years old," is the first thing Douglas Perrett points out about Abbey. "We're starting to get back into older girls, a really healthy look." Lee is 18 and, like many of this year's hot new faces, hails from Australia. "This is her first New York fashion week, so they're going to be very select about what she's doing. Marc, Proenza, Vera Wang, really only the best shows."
ALI, Elite
Ali has already been working for a short while, but this is the Utah native's first season in New York. "She is the most buzzed about girl," Perrett says. "She will only do Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Rodarte, Proenza, the very best shows. This is just what Elite needs right now after losing Karlie Kloss. She's an athlete with really long legs and clients are just dying over her."
ENIKO, Marilyn
The Daria comparisons have already begun for Eniko, an 18-year-old Norwegian who is hitting New York for the first time this year. "She has those wide set eyes, beautiful skin, and a really amazing walk," Perrett says. "I can see her doing just really select shows this season. She's definitely Calvin Klein material."
GANTZ, One
"There's lots of hype on this one," Perrett says of 15-year-old Gantz. "She's flawless, and she will be a great opener for smaller shows, up-and-coming designers. One has a reputation of having great new girls. She came in the very last minute and you'll be seeing her and her mom backstage at all the shows!"
HYUNI, Ford
Seung-hyun Kang (who goes by her nickname, Hyuni) was the winner of Ford's Supermodels of the World contest a couple of weeks back and has since drummed up some major buzz. "We're seeing a lot more Asian girls in general," Perrett says. "She's from Korea and has an amazing walk, amazing legs. They usually get a great girl from this contest every other year, and this year was definitely on."
MALIN, Marilyn
"She is another new buzz name right now," Perrett says. "She's the new Hilary Rhoda—she is tall, she has great shoulders, long legs, and that really severe jawbone." Her statuesque good looks make her a prime contender to show up on the runways of Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang, and Calvin Klein.
NATALIE, Elite
"I could definitely see her being the Calvin Klein exclusive this season," Perrett says of the 15-year-old model, who hails from Oregon. "We definitely won't see her on every runway. It will either be very select shows, or probably just the one."
PAUL, Trump
Paul is already on Alexander Wang's radar, and Perrett is guessing she's going to catch the attention of plenty more designers. "She has a really interesting face, boldly styled hair, and the fact that she has a boy's name is really working for her." Expect to see her doing the "cool and quirky" shows like Three As Four, Chris Benz, and of course, Alexander Wang.
SKYE, DNA
The past successes of Gemma Ward and, more recently, Catherine McNeil, has everyone in an uproar over the Aussies. The next hot import is Skye, a 16-year-old who Perrett calls "the new baby at DNA who is really really cute." Expect to see her walking in shows with a slightly younger vibe—including Marc by Marc Jacobs.
elle.comTETYANA PISKUN, Next
"She's another example of one of these healthier looking girls," Perrett says of 18-year-old Tetyana Piskun. "She just looks like a woman. She's beautiful." You can expect to see her walking in shows that parallel her sophisticated look—Narciso Rodriguez and Bill Blass among them.
^I've heard from a very reliable source that she won't be in NY but will be for sure and for the best in Europe... so in a way yes she's got some big chances to make it but not in NY![]()
