More Madeleine


Former MOTW IMG's Madeleine is booking up a monstrous storm lensing the Miu Miu campaign w/ Mario Testino and Katie Grand, Harpers Bazaar w/ David Sims and Anna Cockburn (only girl), Harper's Bazaar w/ David Sims (only girl beauty), Japanese Vogue cover w/ David Sims and Joe McKenna, Italian Vogue w/ Thomas Schenk and Joanne Blades, 10 mag. w/ Paolo Sutch and Sophia Neophitou, POP w/ Mert & Marcus, POP w/ Laurie Bartlet and Katie Grand (only girl fashion), and yet again, POP w/ Alistair McKellan and Anna Cockburn. This girl had better take her vitamins over the holidays because it's going to be an action packed show season for her ...also joining Madeleine on the Miu-Miu set was agency mate Diane Dundoe and NY Model sensation Stam. At DNA Valentino goes singularly to Karolina Kurkova while Amber Valetta is back in her Only Girl slot at Versace.

Very Iman


Our Industry Forum tipsters got the month wrong but the icon right. It is indeed Iman/T gracing the January issue of V magazine in a keeper of an image lensed by Mario Testino. And as promised, the issue features a rogue's catalog of New York agencies and their roster of models and employees. IMG grabs the opening double page spread but it's the Women/Supreme agency portrait that has tongues wagging. Agency head Paul Rowland makes quite the statement in a pair of blue Speedos. Plus the issue features further sneak peeks of the Spring ads such as the ultra-cool Givenchy starring Frankie Rayder.

Que Linda


Linda V. / Elite
Fashion addicts, on your marks! The Spring ads are already breaking in the January books. This Max Mara campaign for instance highlights Elite's Linda V. to maximum effect even as she has two American Vogue stories docked and waiting for release. Expect a massive Fall show season from this compelling newcomer.

Most Wanted


Torbjorn / DNA
When 6' 2" Swedish newcomer Torbjorn came on the market the bidding got quite ferocious, but when the dust settled it was the freshly replenished DNA that stood the winner. Seen here in one of his first editorials for The Face with Greg Kadel, Torbjorn is clearly one of the upcoming faces to watch in the January Paris and Milan men's shows.
