Models 1, the London agency that’s home to such English superstars as Agyness Deyn and Josh Beech, has a whole slew of stunning new faces set to break onto the market. But no mere digitals will do to show off this fresh faced crew. Working with rising young photographer Jonas Bresnan, Models 1 debuted their next generation at a special holiday exhibition. Voila the oh so chic class of 2009!

This in from Models 1 regarding Ruslana.

“As some of you will be aware, when Ruslana died, the NYPD were very quick to declare her death suicide. They made their decision in less than 24 hours and without many of the investigations that we would expect. We are trying to get the case re-opened in the hope that they will investigate it thoroughly on second chance, ie actually search her phone and email to see who she actually spoke to in the hours before her death, question her friends etc. It may not change the conclusion, but at least we will know that a more thorough job has been done.

Her ex-boyfriend Artem did an interview on FOX news and has started this petition, which we need as many names as possible on before it is handed over to her lawyer to present to the relevant people. Please, if you do sign it, make sure you put your full name and email address, or it will not be counted.”

The supermodel renaissance continues! This time with Amber Valletta looking edgy as ever in the new Iceberg campaign. The stark black and white pictures are a return to form after several seasons of celebrity focused ads featuring Mischa Barton – further proof that Ms. Valletta can do anything, including take ad space back from celebrities.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Sam Riley star in the new F/W 08 Burberry campaign shot by Mario Testino. Rosie is a young English beauty distantly related to the Queen of England and Sam Riley, a young English actor, has been recently feted for his role in “Control”. MDC definitely knew that something was in the works for Rosie when Christopher Bailey, creative director at Burberry, brought her to the Met Costume Ball. We love how the 150 year old British fashion house continues to use English models for its campaigns.
