Cara Delevigne, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid…sound familiar? Well, they’re the star models of the moment. Designers are snapping them up and they’re all over the advertising campaigns of the biggest brands. The girls of the season, but for how long? After the wave of models with first names ending in “A”, after the top model frenzy of the 90s, the seasons have given way to girls with strong characters. No longer content with being mere “hangers-on” Many of them are getting involved, launching perfumes, accessory collections or trying their luck in film (like Aymeline Valade, a French gem who starred in Bonello’s Saint Laurent). What’s more, they seem to have gracefully mastered the art of the new social networks!
Constance Jablonski and Sigrid Agren, both spotted at Elite model look castings, seem to have taken pride of place in the fashion world over the last few years. Campaigns for Chanel for Sigrid, a contract with Esthée Lauder for Constance, as well as Victoria Secret fashion shows: our little Frenchies have been inducted!
How did they get here? Very simply, they tried their luck with the biggest agency in the business: Elite. The agency’s reputation is well established. This year, after 8 castings in France’s biggest cities, the jury has selected 130 candidates who will take part in the National Casting on August 26. From this day, 6 girls and 6 boys will remain, whose names will undoubtedly be unforgettable…
Haute couture week was a further demonstration of the agency’s visionary qualities. 4 French models from the Elite Model Look 2013 castings shone on the biggest catwalks.
ESTELLE CHEN
Winner of the Elite Model Look France 2013 competition, Estelle has walked the catwalk in Paris for Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Fendi and Elie Saab, all internationally renowned houses. Estelle is clearly a star to watch.
DEVA
Just 16, and her career off to a flying start, Deva has walked the catwalks of Dior, Elie Saab and Bouchra Jarrar. A debut in orbit, and the journey promises to be a long one.
LEA JULIAN
Fashion show in Rome to present Valentino’s SS 2016 collection. Nothing could be more natural for young Léa Julian.
THYRA VAN DAALEN
Second season on the catwalk for Thyra, who after having modeled for Valentino and Alberta Ferretti, took over the prestigious Dolce & Gabanna show held in Portofino.
What to remember about this new Elite wave: confidence, determination, a slender step on the catwalk, combined with faces with fine, delicate features. No hard features, no androgynous tendencies, just porcelain beauty: delicate and timeless.
