After one of our more vigilant colleagues brought Aneta Bielecka to our attention, we contacted our wonderful friend Gosia at Avant Management Warsaw for details. Now 17, this Polish girl from Wroclaw was discovered last year when she took the proverbial bull by the horns. Aneta did what any 180cm tall gorgeous girl with “big blue hypnotizing eyes” would do. She got on the internet and sent in some photos. Of course Gosia was amazed. So much so that she trekked to see Aneta in person and just knew Avant “had to have her.”
Daniela, Must Be The Clouds In My Eyes
14 year old Daniela Borges officially began her third show season February at DNKY Fall 2008. That’s not a typo. A native of Curitiba, Brazil, Daniela was locally discovered by Emmanuel Nass of Nass Model Management. She instantly grabbed our attention at Jill Stuart Fall 2007 (her second, all-black ensemble was rock chick gorgeous) and we’ve been chatting up a storm with our friend Nass booker Paulo Campos about her ever since.
Meg: A Mega Bright Thing
“I just loved her immediately,” exclaims Ginny Edwards of Ginny Edwards Development, the New York-based mother agent with a precision eye for scouting and a sixth-sense knack for placing.

Fraternity Rush(a)
Andrey Korovko and Anatoly Krylov @ Lukovsky Model Agency Saint Petersburg
Is there anything more dreamy than a young Mikhail Baryshnikov? If you ask us or Liza Minnelli, we’ll say no (though a young William Petersen comes extremely close). The good folks at Lukovsky Model Agency apparently know this because they provided us with Andrey [...]
Hungary For Barbara
Barbara Pecsi @ Attractive Model Agency Budapest / Elite Model Management NY
The last time we were this excited about a Barbara coming to New York, she sold out Madison Square Garden and sang The Way We Were. Alright so you may not know 15 year old Barbara Pecsi yet but give her a few shows [...]
Turn It On, Bridget
Bridget Malcolm @ Vivien’s Model Management Perth / IMG NY / IMG Paris
I was showing Bridget’s polas to a friend and she described her as cute with beautiful eyes. Then I showed her some work from her portfolio. “This isn’t the same girl,” she said.
No?
“Wait, it is!”
Bridget Malcolm has a built in switch that allows [...]
Alina On Me
Alina Doronina @ Zoom Model Agency
Alina Doronina has an amazing face. A couple of flips through her portfolio reveals why she’s a beauty editor’s dream. Classical looks, yet there’s more than a hint of mischief that takes the shot to the next level. At 172cm, this 18 year old Russian doesn’t need to duck when [...]
Not A Moment Too Shun
Katya Shun @ President Model Management Moscow / Major Model Management Paris & Milan / Models 1 London
Yes, the cute coiffure charmed us. But there’s a whole lot more to 20 year old Katya Shun than an adorable hairdo. You’ve got to see this 178cm Moscow native move. Her walk and mannerisms are pure Armani [...]
