We had a little casting with Elite girls yesterday.

We knew we were going to love Annabella as soon as we walked in the office.

Her beautiful bleached blonde hair and great expression on her face, we just loved her.

We definitely expect her great career in this year.

Victoria Brito/Marilyn Minter

Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting the unusual and energetic Victoria Brito. The Brazilian-born model has become known for her unique features and coloring - check out that blond hair. It's completely natural - I saw the childhood pictures to prove it!

Victoria has been around for quite some time - she started modeling as a child and has been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented people in art and fashion. Of course, the first thing I wanted to know about upon my meeting her was about her work with artist Marilyn Minter. Victoria was featured in a spread Minter photographed that was commissioned by Allure magazine about beauty in mixed ethnicities.

Just this morning, I was really excited to read that Allure would be working with Minter again. Check out this cool behind-the-scenes feature in Minter's studio on one my favorite blogs by gallerist James Danziger.

I can't wait to see what the next collaboration yields.

Casting Snaps - Jazzi @ Elite

We knew we were going to like Jazzi. We just had to. Her crazy-long hair, sweet demeanor, and smart-girl looks ad up to an package. We're sure we'll be seeing a lot of her this year.

Remember?

It seems like the nineties are everywhere right now. Trends aside, there are some things that are always just cool, like these two. Both Muse and RUSSH Magazines have done spreads influenced by Johnny and Kate. Do you think it ever looked better than the real thing?

Erykah Badu by Alan Foreman for Nylon

This month's issue of Nylon features an article highlighting Erykah Badu's much anticipated album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh with accompanying photograph by Alan Foreman. The image was taken in early February at Ms. Badu's home in Dallas. We're excited to see the rave reviews for one of our favorite artists on what has been heralded as one of the most anticipated albums of 2010. The article is well done, really complimentary, and nicely intimate - be sure to pick it up!
