After appearing on the cover of Elle Brazil at age fifteen she was picked up by Guess? to star in their Millennium campaign.  She began her Victoria’s Secret career as the first spokesmodel for VS Pink, and has appeared in countless campaigns and catalogues for the brand, cementing her place amongst their most legendary supermodels.  

The mother of two began her own fashion and lifestyle brand in 2014, Alè by Alessandra, with boho goddess style and plenty of sex appeal. With countless covers, runway shows, editorials, and campaigns, she is never far from the public eye.  In fact her Instagram account is full of images of her children, beach life, campaigns, and loads of behind-the-scenes shots, all for her 7.3 million followers.

Alessandra is the National Ambassador of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a cause close to her heart. We cant wait to see her walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2016 from Paris, as she proves that there is no age limit to beauty and sex appeal.  No doubt there will be lots of insider photos on her Instagram.  Go Alè!!

Model Crush Monday: Victoria’s Secret Angel Elsa Hosk

Swedish beauty Elsa Hosk is about the walk the runway for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, 2016, for the sixth time, her second show as an Angel, making her one of a select few under contract to Victoria’s Secret.  Known for her enviable curves and icy beauty, she is quickly becoming one of the iconic faces of the brand.

She began modeling at age 13 when her dad submitted photos of her to a local agency.  Her career took an upward turn when she was photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth for Guess!, a brand whose epic campaigns have made household names out of their previous models. 

An athlete at heart, Elsa played professional basketball in Sweden for two years before her career took her to NYC.  To keep in peak physical condition is a year-round commitment for her, training regularly at boxing, basketball, and her favorite body-transforming workout, barre.  Clearly it’s working! 

Loves:  being naked.  Hates: traveling alone on planes.

Wide-set blue eyes and a smattering of freckles, Elsa is a quintessential Scandinavian beauty, with a face that harkens back to movie stars of another era and a body that reminds us the amazon models of the eighties.  Her classic beauty has made her a natural for brands from Dior to Dolce et Gabana, Ungaro to Lilly Pulizter.

MODEL CRUSH MONDAY - LUCKY BLUE SMITH

       

Discovered at age ten and signed to Next Models at age 12, Utah-native Lucky Blue Smith and his three sisters have taken the fashion industry by storm, famously being photographed together by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Homme Japan when Lucky was only twelve years old.  How many teens have had such an illustrious career by 18 years old that they have enough life experiences to write their autobiography?  “Stay Golden” gives readers the story of Lucky’s upbringing, his family, being homeschooled, travels, explosion onto the fashion world scene, and his surf-rock band “The Atomics” with his three sisters. 

With 2.6 million followers on Instagram, countless Pinterest pages dedicated to him, Lucky’s face is everywhere, from magazine covers and editorials, to fashion runways, to campaigns, to music, which is in fact Lucky’s passion.  No doubt acting opportunities are on the horizon as well.

 

Lucky is now ranked the top male model in the fashion world, appearing in campaigns for Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Phillip Plein, Moncler, and L’Oreal, and on the covers of Vogue, GQ, Numero, i-D, W, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar amongst others.  We can’t get enough of those steely blue eyes that reminds us of James Dean and a young Paul Newman, and the world is watching to see what Lucky will do next – modeling appears to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Model Crush Monday - Daphne Groeneveld

Wide-set blue eyes, bombshell figure, and more than a passing resemblance to Brigitte Bardot have made Dutch supermodel Daphne Groeneveld a favorite amongst designers, photographers and editors for over five years.  It is hard to imagine that this beauty once hated her pillow lips, which have now become her trademark.

Scouted at age sixteen, Daphne has gone on to front many campaigns based on her unique beauty, appearing in fragrance campaigns for Jean Paul Gaulthier, Dior, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford – a rare feat for any successful model. 

Daphne has a rare ability to appear child-like or “femme-enfant” in some editorials and campaigns, and then overtly sexual in others, which makes her one of the most versatile models in the industry, allowing her to easily go between runways and editorials, to commercial clients.

 

At age 21, Daphne continues to appear in campaigns such as for Tom Ford and Miu Miu, and on the top magazine covers such as Vogue, Bazaar and Elle worldwide.  This “Baby Bardot” is ranked amongst the top 50 models in the world and has so many great projects in her future. With a face and body like hers, she will no doubt tire of the modeling industry long before it tires of her!

XOXO  Shelley
