Scoop du jour


Christy Turlington / Calvin Klein ad
The naughty tucking gathered right...there. The perverse color scheme. Those risque little buttons! Which model could possibly pull off the cinematic subtlety of Tom Ford's S/S 03 YSL line? Nearly every major girl in town has been holding Glen Luchford's YSL shoot but it looks like the final contender is none other than the legendary Christy Turlington. Christy? Those colors? Glen's lighting? Should be a moment!

ANGELA ASCENDING


Angela Lindvall IMG / Paris Vogue cover
When Angela Lindvall stepped away from the strobes to have her first baby, one of modeling's hottest campaign commodities was taken off the market. But for S/S 03 Angela is back in a major way and set to score some of the most coveted gigs in the business. With concurrent covers of Paris Vogue and Japanese Vogue running, and her editorial bookings going full tilt, look for Angela to reignite her phenomonal selling power in the better service of fashion. (Note to self: Must stop the repeat viewings of CQ)....In more IMG news, Variety reports that Victoria Secret icon Tyra Banks is set to executive produce and judge " Supermodel", a hour long reality show on UPN. The show will be following the rise of 8 ambitious newcomers hell bent on breaking into the modeling business. 'Supermodel' offers a twist on the reality genre and is a perfect fit for UPN and our audience," said Dawn Ostroff, UPN's president of entertainment. "The series combines the excitement of competition and the real-life drama of people pursuing their dreams." Oh the endless possibilties !

THE NEW NY GENERATION


Brigette/NY Model Management
Continuing the theme of breaking faces, it's resurgence time at New York Model Management as a slew of new girls pile up the bookings. Top 50 face Letitia, in addition to scoring the Les Copains campaign, is also logging time on the set of Numero with Patrick Demarchelier as well as Japanese Vogue with Mert n Marcus. Newcomer Stam has Teen Vogue and German Vogue with Michel Comte(Only Girl) under her belt, while Julie Hhas shot V and Bazaar with David Sims. Then there is our beloved Brigette, booking the Roberto Cavalli campaign with Mario Testino while joining Stam and Julie H on the British Vogue set of Dusjan. Looks like somebody's been scouting their butts off!

Fast Forward


Linda V/Elite and Nina/Marilyn
At the rate with which models are flowing onto the market, it looks MOTW might have to evolve into Model Of The Day. Case in point? The whip appeal of these two MOTW candidates that hit our desks. First up is Nina Oord/ Marilyn whose celestial good looks caught our eyes. A follow through call later and it transpires that Nina is coming off a Jil Sander show exclusive in Milan, as well as a spread by Greg Kadel in Japanese Vogue. Calling from the set of Teen Vogue Nina said of her new found success "It's a little overwhelming and intimidating but still really fun."
Also leaving the model booking editors speechless right this minute is Elite's Look Of The Year winner Linda V coming off a huge show season where she broke through as one of the ten new faces with the most runway mileage (more on those stats next week). While scheduling her MOTW slot came news that she just booked American Vogue. And as well she should! With a body this Gisele-esque it looks like Elite has landed a new booking powerhouse.
