The exhausting, exhilarating,
frenetic, inspiring month of Spring / Summer 2018 fashion weeks is done. Reviews are in and orders placed. Editors are holding the pieces they hope to include
in upcoming editorials, and designers have already begun their Fall / Winter collections. The designers and celebrities
are not the only stars of the past month.
A crop of standout models, many in their first show season, has captured
the eyes of fashion and beauty brands, editors and photographers. Creating buzz on a noisy stage is difficult
at best, so kudos these women who managed to enchant, intrigue, and make a
memorable impression – no easy feat when nearly all the models in a particular
show wear the same hair and makeup.
Sometimes it is a fresh
haircut, a quirky look, a powerful walk, or an incredible body that sets a
model apart. It is a particularly good
period in the industry for models who are different, as the pendulum slowly
swings away from the “clone” models of the last decade. With the emergence of social media
influencers, celebrity offspring, and street style models appearing on runways
and in campaigns, the cult of personality is gradually making its way back into
the fashion and beauty industries.
We hope this means less of a “disposable” model career timeline where young teens have one amazing season
and then disappear. Let them grow up and
evolve and be real contributors in a more meaningful way to brands. We are rooting for these models and we can’t
wait to see them in prestigious editorials, fronting the best magazines, and on
many future runways.
XOXO Shelley
