Perhaps another take-away from walking the show? Her style really has evolved since the beginning of her career. Gone are the Kawasakis and Rag & Bone leather jacket. In their place we have Balenciaga nearly from head to toe. Change is good. It's a sign of growth, maturity and acceptance of the evolving world around you. No one wants to be the same forever. I'm just surprised we didn't see this change happen sooner. Most new girls seem to buy into the hype and perks surrounding them almost immediately, not that that's a bad thing at all. For example, new face Keke Lingard is already sporting Acne wedges, the season's hottest shoe. During Freja's first season, she was still wearing her Kawasakis.
It seems like it took a little longer for Freja to accept her place in the fashion industry and her role as a model. She debuted during the FW0506 and we only started to see designer duds creep into her wardrobe last FW0910 season, starting with this Balenciaga leather bag.
I realize it may seem ludicrous to some of you that I'm using Freja's sartorial choices as an indicator of where she is in life and her relationship to fashion. I'm probably projecting, but I think you'd have to be blind not to notice a marked change in Freja over the last two seasons. Her approach to work, the type of work she doing and the quantity of it are different and I'm just curious as to why. I see evidence of this change most obviously in her style so maybe that's another reason why I've been doing so many clothes posts recently. I don't purport to know the real facts or give definite answers...I just want to make observations and provoke some thought.

how come you haven't posted anything about her numero 107 editorial :(
p.s. im so jealous of her amazing wares. but im even more jealous of her innate coolness. girl would look fierce in a plastic bag from walmart
love your blog btw
I think it's not so much of Freja finally buying into the hypes of this industry but rather, as she grows older, her taste changes/matures. Honestly, this is what i wish to think of her. haha i don't really wanna view her as an individual who finally "conforms". Ah well, i might be wrong, but i do love my ideals..
I'm still trying to figure out which one is keke.I'm no good with new faces.
I haven't post about the Numero editorial because there isn't much to say. At this point everyone's already seen it.
And to Pam, I don't necessarily think she's conforming now. I think she's still very much herself...but that self just happens to fit into the fashion industry better now.
And Keke is the one on the right with the massive wedges on her feet. :) The one on the left is Marike Le Roux.
i think that freja has just evolved...i mean doesn't everybody?its not exactly like i'd wear the stuff i had worn when i was seventeen..cringe..and designers will definately have had their influence on her,and 20's are a time to try new things...but freja always has had great taste.i miss the kawasakis though.
What model are those Balenciaga boots?
honestly, i am in love with her she and abbey lee are perrrrrfect! cool blog
