Fashion’s never-ending cycle of renewal means there is a constant stream of exciting new talent making their mark on the industry. Behind the scenes, a new generation of creators is innovating in hair, makeup, styling and creative direction, bringing new ideas to the table while paying homage to fashion’s strongest visual tenets. The up & comers of this era unite for this Models.com editorial featuring a lineup of notable new models from New York’s top agencies. These fresh faces are at the very start of their modeling journey and are captured beautifully by an illustrious set of talents whose names you should commit to memory. Photographer Jd Forte has assisted Steven Meisel and David Sims, honing his own style as he learned from photography’s masters. Hair stylist Shinya Nakagawa worked alongside Julien d’Ys while makeup artist Yumi Lee serves as first assistant for the legendary Stephane Marais. Set designer Nick des Jardins is a talented alum of Mary Howard Studio and stylist Jessica Margolis has crafted looks for the likes of Agyness Deyn and Emily Blunt.

Seriously, we’re still using fur for things like this? Outdated and disappointing.
Stuningly Beautiful Women.
there is Alicia instead of Kama, I guess?
Kyra is the real deal
If its fur, go for faux, not fur real
Michelle C : very interesting, very French.
Where is new face Maggie Laine from IMG ?
Kwak is just gorgeous.. Soo lovin that Wilhelmina is bringing more asian faces in the NYC market.. I am also a firm believer that Kate Goodling is going to be the next Karmen Pedaru.

I’m simply flabbergasted. One shot displays women covered with masses of dead animals, while the next shot reveals models who appear to be treating a [live] dog with munificence. This could not get anymore warped.
Kate has a very distinctive and beautiful look. I think she has the potential to be successful.
Regarding Kwak JiYoung, her first name is JiYoung, not Kwak.
I am so in LOVE with KWAK!
Is it me or does it seems as though in the groups shots the girls are on slightly different pages?
Oh God, please don’t use fur! That’s cruel!
Kama Bronisz did Versace!
Michelle C. (she needs to change a name probably) and Laura O’Grady are stunning, looking forward to see more of them in the industry!
Michelle C. is captivating! Looking forward to seeing more of her work!
FUCKING FUR; DONT USE FUR!!!!!!!! THATS SO HORRIBLE, just flesh
Lovely models, and some nice clothes, but as noted in some previous wise comments, the fur…seriously? Furrier Adrienne Landau is probably angry at all life, human and animal life, for being a victim of a plastic surgeon whose botox needle seems to have gone awry on her face, giving those not only in fashion, but Hollywood, a bad name, and children nightmares. Models, designers, and editors, until you are ready to go to a slaughter house and witness animals suffering in pain from the torture and murder of those that rip their skin and fur off their feeling bodies for your so called fashion, and call yourself the murder that you are with fur; fur that went out style with the caveman beating women over the head with a club and dragging them back to the cave, get some guts and say NO to fur, unless you truly are just another plastic surgery casualty whose botox has tainted not only your face and brain, but what little soul and compassion you have left. Keep fur on LIVING animals, where it belongs! – subnormal magazine http://www.Peta.org

They all look sick and undernourished, I dont mind a thin person but there is a huge difference from thin to these bags of bones.
Keeping fit is good for everyone but this is more like an illness than anything, should in no way be related to fashion or as an expamle for beauty.
