Rie Rising


Since her performance in Femme Fatale has sent tongues...uhm.. wagging on our Industry Forums, OTM decided to play catch up with the newly blonde Rie Rasmussen this week. And rest assured, the rising actress is certainly maximizing her possibilities. Her fashion visibility continues into the S/S 03 season with campaigns for Moschino with Testino (who oversaw the blonde make-over), Blumarine with Tim Walker, Plein Sud with Steven Klein in addition to the H& M with Richard Avedon. "It's been really great that all the things I've been doing are the things I'm truly passionate about. It keeps it challenging" Rie confided while speeding her way to JFK. And the reason for the mad dash to Paris? A major tete-a-tete with Fifth Element maestro Luc Besson followed by a quick turn around back to NY where Rie snapped these Polaroids just to give the MDC faithful a glimpse of the new look. It's clear this girl won't stop! ...In other 1 Mgmt news Jamie surfaces on the D+G set, Daniela Urzi grabs the coveted Boss Fragrance campaign while newcomer Sveva lenses the Costume National.

MDC Speed Scouting Bash


It was a golden opportunity for aspiring models to meet and mingle with those ever elusive NY power agents and the crowd that showed up to MDC's first ever speed scouting soiree certainly seized the opportunity. Agents from 1 Management, R&L, NY Models and McDonald Richards fielded questions and portfolios from the attendees. Sponsored by Matrix by L'Oreal the party held at Lot 61 drew not only the MDC modeling community but also a gaggle of photographers, make-up artist, fashion and hair stylists. Which makes the marketing guys here go hmmm. Speedscouting LA here we come!
