Edit: Apparently it is not Freja in Balmain or IM. Sorry for the false alarm. I should know better by now than to perpetuate unsubstantiated rumors, but it's hard not to get caught up in the frenzy. It still doesn't change the way I feel about campaign distribution. Anyway, continue along with your saturdays.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three names, one model......two more campaigns? Balmain and Isabel Marant if you believe the hints and sly suggestions.
And I definitely do. Just take a look at the opening and closing exits in the FW1011 shows, and keep in mind who led the final promenades.
Also remember that Max Mara is already a given....just another brand with strong connections to Carine, Emmanuelle and the VP universe. Need I mention that both Balmain and IM are in that universe too?
Now take a look at the Vogue Paris Collections Cover, and the pieces begin to fit into place.
So the only thing I'm left wondering is, which month can we expect to see Freja on the cover of VP?
But for the sake of covering all the bases, there are lots of other models with three part monikers: Abbey Lee Kershaw, Anna Maria Jagodzinska, Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Hanne Gaby Odiele....but my mind keeps returning to just one: Freja Beha Erichsen.
Am I happy? Yes. But do I have reservations? Of course. I just never think it's a good thing when one model has a ton of campaigns because her work tends to lose impact when it's spread out over so much. And there is a lot of truth to the saying "you have to leave them wanting more." Over saturation usually leads to disappearance of the product or apathy from the consumers soon enough. So I guess we'll just see how this all plays out. Yeah, I know I'm not a very good fan because I should be all like "omg, this is amazing and the best thing ever." But I can't help feeling the way I feel....

Balmania
I normally don't update after every show Freja walks in because it would get very repetitive since most of you are already glued to tFS. However, I just had to make an exception today in honor of Daria returning to the runway! In probably the best surprise of the season, Daria walked in the Balmain show held earlier today, opening and closing it. Too bad this will be her only show of the season.
Freja also walked the show of course, in addition to walking Balenciaga early this morning. Daria is only second to Freja in my book, so I'm thrilled they're on the same runway together again. The last time this happened was the Versace FW0809 show nearly 2 years ago. I just love it when my favorites walk the same shows because it makes things that much more memorable. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get some good backstage pictures. Paris is shaping up to be a dream so far, isn't it?
How amazing does she look?! When I see someone like Daria on the runway, all the newer girls suddenly become inadequate and completely pale in comparison.

Looking for beautiful pictures?
Corbis is the site to go to in order to find the most beautiful backstage photos. Case in point:
The first three are backstage at Burberry and the last one is backstage at Balmain. They're all taken by the photographer Delphine Achard. Whoever she is, I think she's wonderfully talented and adept at capturing natural, intimate beauty and I think she has a Freja fixation as evidenced from the singular focus of the pictures above. :) I can't quite put my finger on what makes her backstage beauty pictures different, but they just don't look like all the other ones on other sites. There is something so alluring in the simplicity, perspective and lighting of these shots. I really hope Corbis puts up more backstage photos because you know they will be as wonderful as these are. And the world can always, always, use more Freja beauty pics.
Yes, I know this isn't Freja but I wanted to sneak in another breathtakingly beautiful photo taken by Delphine, of my other favorite model Karmen Pedaru.
