Floating in Space
Frank Tell's chic Parisian ladies go to space
"The young Spanish designer based in New York tightened things up for spring summer and explored the very restricted idea of a chic Parisian going to space. Cue dresses with severe cut-outs and textures of crumpled cotton in copper that glints subtly."

"Bradford is Blogging: Wake-Up with Make-Up"
Ranya Mordanova @ Supreme (NY)
New York fashion week is already over, last shows took place last night (Paris time) and the frenzy should slow down in town and cross the ocean to hit London (already done). Good surprises, less good surprises, little fashion shocks and good moments following the whole thing from here that might turn into sweet memories, especially as we take care of our soundtrack as well. Won't reveal the beat, though, apart from heartbeats maybe. One thing is sure, this morning we woke up with make-up while checking out what Bradford Gregory did over the last few days.
Among the nicest surprises of the week is definitely Ranya Mordanova. Not that we didn't expect her to catch a couple of cool castings but her walk at Anna Sui was quite the crowning and pushed her status a little higher again. See the world from above and tell us how it looks like. If her appearance at Rodarte sounded like a natural option after Givenchy and Vogue Paris, Anna Sui was less expect and certainly adds another arrow to Ranya's bow, from gothic creature to girly schoolboy (or tomboyish schoolgirl up to your current mood). Here she is, pictured by Bradford at 3.1 Philip Lim - best casting and styling ever for Lim's label. Let there be light.
Naty Chabanenko @ Women (NY) and Karmen Pedaru @ Next (NY)
Two feline beauties, always perfect in their editorials (that famous supplement of soul some girls are able to bring without even being aware of it) and that we prefer backstage than walking. Naty Chabanenko, impish creature in front of the camera giving a glimpse like others say hello. So, say hi to Naty and get that playful point. Same show, same room, other atmosphere. We wrote it in our previous post, it takes a good girl's mood to change an atmosphere. Karmen Pedaru, lost in her thoughts, gazing at the unkown and leaving us in mystery. Eagerly waiting for the Estonian's next piece on glossy paper and let there be light again.
Katya Kulyzhka @ Women Direct (NY)
Katya Kulyzhka made her marks this week walking for United Bamboo and DKNY, bringing her freshness and cuteness everywhere with her. Get caught by the impish, playful look like us - Katya will be our next TMSRRE-girl, we promise you. There is much energy and good vibrations coming from Women Direct's darling. She's got a card for Milan now and we bet her journey isn't about to end. Backstage queenie in making ?
Daniela Kocianova @ Supreme (NY) and Alex Sandor @ One (NY)
After the playful, the quiet, thoughtful expressions out of two of the most intellectual looks of the week. Supreme's newcomer who's actually already a perennial favorite of ours, Daniela Kocianova and One's sweetie-with-stamina from Romania, Alex Sandor were both among the good surprises of the week. You can never clearly predict the future (even near) of such models: their very own look will always appeal to a few good eyes but you never know how many of these will be in the mood. As Daniela grabbed Marc by Marc, Ruffian, Vera Wang and Alex gathered Jason Wu, DKNY and Phi on her showlist, the mood was good. Both were caught by Bradford at Alexandre Herchcovitch. Crashing beats and fantasy.
Mey Bun @ New York Models (NY)
New York Models editorial prodigy turned blonde for the shows and was spotted last minute at Koi Suwannagate by Bradford Gregory. It will remain one of the most striking picture of this week and the intense gaze she gave to his camera echoes her performances in i-D by Chadwick Tyler and Vogue Russia by Terry Tsiolis. The perfect goodbye. And see you soon.

"Bradford is Blogging: Backstage is Bubbling"
Jules Mordovets @ IMG (NY)
Time is running fast and Bradford is blogging. That's the biggest news of the week so far, apart from the shows results of course. For anyone wondering what a talented photographer can do when he can't do tests, Bradford Gregory's blog will give a detailed poetic answer. We love the personal approach, the atmosphere on his shots and, as you may guess, the titles of his post. Just brilliant and worth to check daily this week.
First pic we picked from it is Jules Mordovets at Zac Posen. Always classy and starting another flawless season with Zac Posen of course, Herve Leger, Ruffian and, since yesterday, Rodarte in her pocket. View more here: Burning Bridge and Ecstasy - a must-see for Tiiu Kuik supporters celebrating a comeback and Abbey Lee addicts as well.
Wiktoria Malicka @ One (NY)
Wiktoria was promising on pictures, we know now how it translates on runways. The poised Polish beauty at One Management had a little climax this week at Rad Hourani (where Bradford captured her unusual beauty) after popping up here and there including at one of our favorite casting, Vivienne Tam. More Rad by Bradford here: In a Room Without a Window.
Ryan Martel @ DNA (NY)
We were waiting for Ryan to appear somewhere and we fell in love with her delicate look at Rad Hourani (who definitely has one of the most interesting castings of the season, Gloria Loitz opened/closed and the aesthetic was strong from look one to final). We put her on our list after seeing her in DNA's Spring 2010 package, got a good feeling and kept our fingers crossed. Bradford caught her sweet and mysterious sides together on the same picture, giving us a clue on how much presence she's got even when she doesn't look at the camera.
Myf Shepherd @ Next (NY)
Can't get enough of Myf. Season after season. Love the sense of humor, the drama, the poses, the hypnotising smile. We were lucky enough to see what she can give to the camera, live at a polaroid session in Paris. Her stories in Pop and 10 are beyond captivating, her backstage performance are turning moments into momentum. Myf's got that Midas touch and her book is gold.
Alex Sandor @ One (NY)
Alex Sandor is another of these girls that never fade away and keep the mystery alive season after season. Intellectual beauty, truth to One's aesthetic, she's been caught reading by Bradford Gregory with a slightly impish expression behind her book. Good vibrations, vivid mood and elegant walk are highlights of hers and whatever happens you can count on Alex. View more on the series including her and Myf here: A Spray of Stars Hit the Screen. So true.
Yulia Kharlapanova @ Women (NY)
Just as Myf or Alex, Yulia has become a timeless beauty of our times building a strong book, solid runway reputation and using her potential to the max wherever she goes. She's also one of the most geniune person you could meet in backstage. Natural and naturally elegant. The first star from Avant Models Moscow, catwalk queen at Women worldwide opened the way to a brand new generation of young sprouts from Russia.
Make sure you saw it all on Bradford's blog and be back there later today for a fresh update on the latest shows in New York. More pictures, more titles, more love.September 15, 2009
