Scoop into Trump Model Management’s bag of goodies and you’re sure to pull out a winner. That’s no surprise when there’s a flock of fine ladies on board including big-timers Lisa Cant and the agency’s most recent acquisition, superstar Milagros Schmoll. This time around we dipped our hand and hit the jackpot with three fantastic girls.
Siri Tollerød is the Norwegian on everyone’s lips. From a shopping mall to Milan, her career path is blisteringly non-stop. Fifty-nine Spring 2008 shows! She impressively nabbed DKNY Jeans on the strength of just polaroids and a video resulting in the dramatic, nighttime-in-New York campaign. Siri is Eurailing with stops at each of the major Vogues including the Italian bible twice with the great Steven Klein: June was out-of-the-gate power editorial, stylized and strong. October is eerie-chic! For the German September edition, she was a regal forefather with a twist. Her November Russia Vogue by Mark Pillai is a zany leggings and wig-a-thon that screams color. We really like the mysteriously iridescent November British Vogue editorial shot by Javier Vallhonrat. Did I mention a cover for 10? You need fire protection around Siri, she’s that hot. She’s described as a “nice girl” that “wants it in a normal kind of way.” That’s music to our years because that means staying power and we want a lot more from Siri!
Let’s talk about Ekaterina Kiseleva, the sensual Siberian who walked fifty plus shows this Spring 2008. Since day one her soft but ultra-engaging face has mesmerized us. Just thinking about that Sean and Seng shoot is enough to keep a smile on our faces all day. Her June appearance in W, shot by Craig McDean, is like a mini-episode of a really good show on cable. There’s whimsy, drama and candidness. Ekat is no stranger to the rainbow of Vogues either: Spanish, German, Russian, etc. From light brown to super blonde, she’s a treat. However the intensity just went up a notch because her hair is really dark now and it’ll blow you away. She’s got dynamite range, the kind you do write home about.
And now for the girl you will scour the web for info as soon as you finish reading this. Uliana Tikhova is from Russia and she’s the real deal. She did ten Spring 2008 shows but like a tourbillion-equipped luxury wristwatch, they are meticulous and she looked perfect. New York was the appetizer with a delightful tour at Alexandre Herchcovitch. Her Jeremy Laing appearance showcased her knock-out body with legs long enough to traverse the East River in a single stride. At Doo.Ri, Uliana was elegantly demure and stunning. The biggie was, of course, her walk at Marc Jacobs. Somewhat madcap, somewhat classic, she was a pure vision and wore those little critters marvelously. Milan was next and Uliana paired perfectly with the femininity of Anna Molinari and the sophistication of Marni. In Paris she firmly solidified her place in our hearts with her reprise role at Nina Ricci (just magic) and that visual cloud of chiffon that both hugged and floated around her at Alexander McQueen. Our personal fave had to be the hippie-girl freshness, fun and sexiness of Zucca. The editorials for this “smart, professional” girl are brilliant. Russian Vogue with KT Auleta, W with Craig McDean, Mixte with Jason Kibbler, Soma and the cover of A4 with the most awesome Gray Scott.
There’s plenty more from Trump in the coming weeks. The team is on the constant go looking for new faces that will amaze us. In the last few weeks they’ve been from Botswana to Prague finding more gems. Got to love them!
