Kelly Mittendorf: Soft Aggression

 

 

 

"A Fashionable Fetish"
Vogue Nippon // December 2011
Ph. Paola Kudacki // Stylist: Aurora Sansone

Hair: Brent Lawler // Make-Up: Sil Bruinsma

Black, gothic styling and Kelly's strong expressions dominate this sensational story from Japanese Vogue, where the pastel backdrop gives a surprisingly quirky feel for the whole set. There is no doubt that few can carry such an only-girl story the way Kelly does here, bringing magnetic energy to otherwise still photographs. And just think - this is only the beginning for the Arizona native.

Constance Jablonski: Hair-Raising

 

 

 

"Brilliant Buys"
Harper's Bazaar US // November 2011
Ph. Paola Kudacki // Stylist: Brana Wolf
Hair: Shay Ashual // Make-Up: Alice Lane

Whether the outfits are black-and-white or color, Constance and her sculpted hair are in tandem with each fold of the fabrics and sway of the hems. It's all about dynamism as she works out her limbs, stretching her own silhouette into various shapes that are pleasing to the eye. She is truly a superheroine now, hair and all!

Pauline Van der Cruysse: Swept Away

 

"La Viuda Blanca"
Vogue Spain // July 2011
Ph. Paola Kudacki // Stylist: Barbara Martelo

Hair: Rutger Van Heide // Make-Up: Tyron Machhausen

The coasts of Tulum are captured breathtakingly in Pauline's latest solo story, while Pauline herself blends in with the waves as her white-centric clothing flow through the breeze. And although we would not recommend moving across rocky terrain in heels, Pauline somehow manages the feat - with dramatic poses, no less! Ultimately, it's challenging to describe such beautiful scenes with words, so we will let the visuals do most of the talking this time.

Caroline Brasch Nielsen: Subtle Hues

 

 

 

"What's Next: Pastels"
Harper's Bazaar US // August 2011

A studio shoot with pale-colored styling is made all the more vibrant by Caroline Brasch Nielsen's active poses, and she manages to provide a different perspective at some standard businesswear, giving each look a burst of energy with each new photo. Need to run to work? Perhaps one of these outfits will be a surprising fit for the job.

Gracie Carvalho and Caroline Ribeiro: Hercules S/S 2010

Ph. Giampaolo Sgura // Stylist: David Vivirido

Gracie captivates on the vibrant cover as well as within...we are beyond envious of the gorgeous beach setting, that's for sure.

The short feature narrates Caroline's illustrious long career, while the photos show that she is just as stunning as when she first began her modeling path. So few possess her timeless beauty!
