-To coincide with the arrival of spring accessories on his e-commerce site, Alexander Wang is releasing a behind the scenes video of his SS10 runway show. Style.com has a short preview which you can see above. It's only 45 seconds and you can see Freja about 16 seconds in. The full version will be released Monday on Alex's site, and if the preview is any indication, it looks like we'll get plenty of Freja to satisfy our backstage curiosities.
-Freja moved up a rank to a solid number 4 on models.com Top 50 Models list. Lara, Anja, Natasha, Sasha and Raquel are the only ones before her. If I recall correctly, Freja's career high position was number 2, but I could be wrong. Any one remember? Anyway, as long as she keeps working at the same pace and level that she's been at for this past year, I don't see any reason why her rank wouldn't gain one or two more spots. However, I'm not sure she'll ever reach the number 1 spot. Freja's a wonderful model, but let's be realistic; you have to be damn near iconic (I'm talking within the industry here, not just with fans) to reach that spot and her quantity of work just doesn't add up. If Meisel shoots her for a Vogue Italia cover, US Vogue puts her on their Models of the Moment issue, Nick Knight features her on ShowStudio monthly, and she lands blue-chip ad campaigns beside Chanel then we'll talk. Until then, it's not gonna happen. (Prove me wrong Freja, because I would be happy to eat my words.)
-You can see preview images of Freja's new Vogue Nippon editorial shot by Terry Richardson here and here. Being that the images are low quality, I'm pretty much ideologically opposed to everything that Terry Richardson stands for, and I need a break, I'll spare you the long write up about this ed...not that any of you were dying to read it in the first place I'm sure.
-New York Fashion Week officially beings in 12 days on February 11th! We'll likely see Freja touch down for her first show Friday night at Rag & Bone...that is, assuming she's going to walk this season. I don't see why she wouldn't, but with Freja I've always come to expect the unexpected. And the SS08 and SS09 seasons are always fresh in the back of my mind, making me hold my breath in hope that she doesn't unexpectedly skip out again. We'll see. After all, life's pleasures are derived in anticipation.

I remember something about her being number 2 as well.
I can't remember who came before her, though. Raquel, maybe?

^You're probably right. Raquel has been working for at least a decade at such a high level that I can't think of anyone else who could have been number one at that time.
i think i kinda understand where terry richardson's coming from. I mean his work in general. The main problem i have, is that it is often at the expense of others. And usually, women related. Or of course, i could just be an overly sensitive woman with a bunch of feminist ideals.
Do you get what i mean? i don't know..
I totally agree Pam, though this ed seems pretty tame by Terry standards.
@Pam: I totally get what you're saying. There's a marked difference between treating women as objects and empowering them. Also, I wouldn't mind his stuff so much if he didn't always photograph himself with his thumbs up in so many shots. It's just creepy and degrading imo.
more than anything the editorial's setting is what distracts and makes me lose interest.as far as her ranking goes, 4 isn't bad considering how streaky her work flow seems to be compared to girls ahead of her.
i just hope she gets a major cover soon, all these 'indie' appearances isn't enough for me.hell a numero(sans Karl) would suffice.
Such a great video!
how do you get this mmulptiple pages on blogger thing? its so cool!
@jac: I found out about it here. It's still in limited testing phase, but I find it very useful!
thank you so much! interesting :)
not a big fan of terry either -
anyone knows what is the song playing in the video?
@Retrograde: lol, it says at the end of the video. It's "Healer" by The Chromatics on their album Night Drive. :)
haha, (I suck). Thanks!
