funny faces in the mirror of the bathroom

Oh, the world of fashion models. I'll always be fascinated by them. Maybe it's because of their beauty, or their style. Why this is, I don't think I'll ever really know, but I know there are some out there that are most definitely my all-time favorites.



Freja Beha Erichsen. This Danish beaut was discovered on the street while a modeling agent passed by her in a taxi. In 2005, she made her debut on the runways of Prada, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton. She's starred in hundreds of campaigns, such as Chanel, Gucci, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, among others. Freja started out with long hair and bangs, and cut it short (like the above pictures) later on in her career, and I miss her bangs. She's the main reason I got mine. It's okay, though, because she's got killer style to boot.



Lara Stone. The 26-year-old been on the scene for quite a while now, but just recently she really hit it big. With the return of curves, she's the frontrunner. The Dutch model was discovered at the age of 12 in the Paris subways. She entered the Elite Model Look contest in 1999, and although she didn't win, she impressed Elite executives anyways and soon found herself signed to the Elite agency. For years she struggled in the modeling world, and in 2006, she signed with IMG and before she knew it she was opening for the Givenchy couture show in Paris. She's been in campaigns and walked the runway for some of the biggest designers out there. Her distinct look is due to her wide gap in between her front teeth and curvaceous physique, which designers love. She also has unusually small feet for her 5'10" frame- size 7, and because of that she has said that the only thing going through her mind as she walks down the runway is "Do not fall, do not fall."



Abbey Lee Kershaw. She was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1987. Miss Abbey got her big break by winning the Girlfriend CoverGirl Model Search in 2004. She's appeared in ad campaigns for Gucci, D & G and Ck Jeans. At the Alexander McQueen Spring 2009 runway show in Paris, Abbey got people talking when she fainted just as she exited the runway. This was said to have been because of "a combination of high heels and a tight corset". Whatever the reason was, it never phased her, and she's one of the most coveted faces in fashion today.


P.S. This was quite a while ago, but a few weeks ago it was my birthday!
