Coco Rocha is one of the top models in the fashion industry today. In this Style.com video we see a charming and likeable young woman with a great sense of humor. Often times we get a glimpse of the model from a still photograph or the runway where you are treated to an icy glare. In this video you see that Coco is endearing and approachable. She spills on backstage mischief and her model secrets. It is great to see her personality and charisma highlighted.
Models were featured on the Rollcall list yesterday. Three were selected for their influence and extensive presence on the runways of the major fashion capitals. They are:
Chanel Iman glided down the runway with legs that appeared endless. Lily Donaldson bewitched and hypnotized with those piercing blue eyes. Raquel Zimmermann brought electricity to the catwalk that is visible even in photographs.
The Showdown contenders are Lily Donaldson and Raquel Zimmermann. They owned the runways of New York, Milan and Paris this season. We will be watching to see if they continue their rule.
Our winner is Lily Donaldson; she dominated the runways this season. Lily Donaldson walked in all the shows that won the Showdown of their respective Fashion Week, Donna Karan, Versace and Christian Dior. Her look and intensity is a lethal combination.
Today’s Rollcall will feature the models who worked tirelessly during Fashion Week for fall 2009. They traveled from city to city and show to show to strut the catwalk. Their major objective, bringing to life the garments we so desire. Without them fashion week would not be possible.
The selected models walked in numerous shows, all three walked for Michael Kors, Bottega Veneta and Balenciaga. They hail from America, Brazil and London.
Each model was in high demand in every city. They rocked the runways of New York, Milan and Paris in platforms and with the model attitude.
The selected models were seemingly everywhere. Rollcall took notice and named them the ‘It’ Girls for fall 2009:
Was the supermodel a genetically engineered wonder or a manufactured creation right off the assembly line? It does not matter where you fall on this issue, the consensus is that she was and is a stunning creature.
We knew all the supermodels by their first names and they were indeed super. The models that arrived after them are just as beautiful, but the public does not know them as well. Sure they are recognizable, but are almost anonymous at the same time. It is the personality factor.
The key to the supermodel’s fame was her personality. Everyone thought they knew her. Magazines were purchased on that premise. The supermodel appeared worldlier, but who wouldn’t when the title before your name begins with the word ‘super’? That gave her authority to be larger than life.
Try putting the word ‘super’ before your title and see how that makes you feel for a moment. You may need the $10,000 a day paycheck to really get into character.
Some say that the supermodel era is over. I say that nothing is ever over in fashion. They will be back just like the Eighties, bell-bottoms and tie-dye, only up-dated. The possibility for resurgence exists as the world emerges from the economic downturn. The models will just have to wait it out.
