Good Times with Frida Gustavsson (IMG, NY) exiting Prabal Gurung

Joan Smalls and Frida Gustavsson (IMG, NY): pops of color

Not only do I like how Joan mixes a rugged boot with a soft and feminine top, but how both Joan and Frida add splashes of color to an otherwise neutral toned outfit.

Spring/Summer 2010's Best Dressed Rookie Model: Frida Gustavsson (IMG NY)

You're only new once to the runway's and last season Frida Gustavsson was already showing signs of being a media favorite (I don't mean runway, or editorial, or campaign) by sheer virtue of her great sense of style. She was always willing to give a picture, which if you ask me, is critical to helping a model become a household name -- which in turn increases her booking value and helps her make more money.

Stay tuned for tomorrows post in which I'll reveal my choice for which model at the Fall/Winter 2010 shows also displayed positive signs of being a media favorite.

2 seasons with Frida Gustavsson on the left and Karlie Kloss on the right

Together at the Spring/Summer 2010 Paris Fashion Week shows

The first time I shot Frida and Karlie together, I was really trying to get a shot of them standing side by side, since they are both at eye's glance, of similar height.   Thought with two seasons worth of shots, you could finally get a decent idea.

ON DUTY ANALYSIS: ELIE SAAB'S COUTURE SHOW (for fun)
I'm no expert on runway show analysis, but I'll go out on a limb and say that Elie Saab was a good value show for the models that got to walk it:

--44 looks
--19 different girls, which improves mathematical odds for future face recognition and bookings/casting requests
--each girl walked the runway a minimum of two times, double face exposure time at minimum for each girl
--6 girls walked the runway three times (Karlie Kloss, Jac, Sigrid Agren, Magdalena Frackowiak, Kasia Struss, Karmen Kass)= triple face exposure time for girls lucky enough to walk three times.
--the face of each girl was still recognizable, unlike some shows where the girls face is disguised by makeup and/or costume

VOGUE's Brian Fee (VOGUE Art) took a moment to comment on Frida Gustavsson's personal style from London to Milan to Paris.   Many thanks Brian!

"...she looks totally different with her hair pulled back man!  But the one look, hair pulled back with jacket and trousers, I feel she comes off most 'mature'.   I find sometimes when I see these girls with their hair down they seem a bit older but not Frida.   Hair down is fresh and girlish but hair up is...how do I put this, sweet but collegiate?  Like she's taking a semester off from Oxford to work the runway.  I dig that she sometimes pairs her personal streetstyle with doc martens, too, it's a solid foundation to a sporty look."
