Ali(ana) Lohan, Lindsay's 17-year-old sister, just got signed to a multi-year modeling contract with Next in LA, Just Jared is reporting. So far Ali's official modeling gigs have been limited to showcasing some looks (left) from Lindsay's Spring/Summer 2011 6126 line. She got a lot of attention back in September when the campaign launched, mostly because she was 16 at the time and she was dressed in a lot of skimpy gear. (Sixteen seems downright matronly now thanks to Thylane, doesn't it?)
Argentine model Tati Cotliar, (short for Tatiana), is swiftly climbing to the top of the modeling world. Ranked by COACD as the #2 new model at AW10 Fashion Week, and currently holding down position #44 on Models.com's ranking of all models in the industry, the 21 year old is a hot commodity. Tati opened the Marc Jacobs AW10 show and currently stars in Vivienne Westwood's SS10 ads. She's repped by NEXT, walked for other major labels like Prada, Rodarte, and Chanel, and shot for Dazed & Confused. If that doesn't sound like a big enough break for you, she also starred in one of our Street Style posts last week! Once we captured Tati backstage at Jason Wu, we knew we needed to find out more about her. So we interviewed her about her modeling career, her favorite hobbies, and her crazy experiences in the fashion world. Click through to learn all about Tati.
It’s shaping up to be an interesting week in the modeling world. First, Tyra Banks re-signs with IMG. Now, the New York Post reports that Next Management is suing Ford for poaching three of its models–Polish expats Anna Aleksandra Cywinska and Anna J., as well as Estonian Karmen Pedaru–after Next president Next President Joel Wilkenfeld petitioned Immigration and Naturalization Service to allow them to work in the US under contract. In return, Ford is suing Next for poaching some of its best bookers and using those bookers to bring Ford models over to Next. (Ford has also sued Next three times over the past few years for “stealing” its models, including Kendra Spears.)
Winner: ElleUK asked Garance to illustrate a limited edition cover of the magazine featuring Demi Moore. It's stunning. {Garance} Must Haves: Ann
Marloes Horst: Height 5'9\", blonde hair, blue eyes Those lips, those eyes. We can't really find the words to describe this fresh-faced Dutch beauty. Since 2007 Marloes has graced a few magazine covers and has appeared in a handful of editorials, but we're betting that 2010 will be the year she really takes the modeling world by storm. We just want to see more of her, please!" ?> Hannah Holman: Height 5'8\", blonde hair, blue eyes This American girl has some serious Italian fashion cred. Hannah made her debut in New York over the summer when she closed Prada's Resort show and opened for Miu Miu's the next day. And recall those pretty fall Miu Miu ads? They featured Hannah. Miuccia's taken quite a liking to the young model. Who will fall for her next?" ?> Ginta Lapina: Height 5'10\", blonde hair, blue eyes Ginta's striking features caught our attention, but it is her versatility in editorials that has held our affection. And it's this same convincing versatility that reminds us a lot of another model: Daria W. Ginta can be sensual in Vogue Italia or playful in Dazed. We don't mind which role she plays, we'll take her any way we can get her." ?> Frida Gustavsson: Height 5'11\", blonde hair, blue-gray eyes Frida only just signed with IMG this past year, but her star is rising rapidly--she was the fourth most requested model of the spring season and walked in a staggering 60 shows! We first noticed Frida after Dior's S/S10 show. (The baby-faced Swede can really rock a red lip.) Will Frida break her own record and walk in even more shows this season? Stay tuned!" ?> Nimue Smit: Height 5'11\", blonde hair, blue eyes Nimue's walked in her fair share of shows (Stateside and abroad) and has been featured in a number of campaigns and editorials. Her most recent Armani ads left us wanting more--those eyes are bewitching! We've fallen for Nimue's pixie features and are looking forward to seeing a lot more of her." ?> Valerija Kelava: Height 5'9.5\", brown hair, blue-green eyes This super-new brunette is bound to make a splash all over fashion week. After opening Chris Kane's SS10 show, she's been featured in Proenza's and Prada's pre-fall presentations and most recently shot by Juergen Teller for Celine's SS10 ads. We're obsessed with her edgy bangs and intense stare, which reminds us of our other current obsessions Jaqueline and Iris. We think she'd be perfect at Givenchy, don't you?" ?>
