Shake it Like a.....

I love the playful side that Freja has been showing us backstage this season. I know that you can't really tell much from pictures, but she seems to be relaxed and enjoying herself this time around. Perhaps the onset of maturity brings with it an acceptance and appreciation for one's circumstances. Or maybe she just reserves it for the polaroid camera. She's always doing something humorous in polaroids. I guess you have to be aware when someone is taking a picture of you with a polaroid, versus all the other backstage pictures that are taken of you without your knowledge.

Too bad the cameras and film have been discontinued. There is a campaign to save them though, so hopefully we'll still have great polaroids for many seasons to come.

Look Into Her Eyes

Are you tired of looking at runway pictures yet? Maybe these polaroids will help break up the monotony. Anyway, happy Monday. Marc Jacobs tonight! Good chance Freja will be there. She hasn't missed a Marc show...ever.

Backstage Fun

Fashion week can get hectic. Running around from show to show, making sure you're on time, going to fittings, trying to catch up with all the people you haven't seen since February. Freja seems to be taking this all in stride like the pro that she is. She can do her job, very well might I add, and still goof off and have fun backstage with her friends.

(Hmmm, where's your hand Heidi?)

And she's making new friends as well. Here she is with Karmen Pedaru.

That's my favorite shot so far. Two of my favorites together...just add Karolin and I'm done. Thanks for finding that picture slow_hands. The Heidi ones above are for you. :)

New Polaroid

"Danish star with the androgynous look got her first tattoo at 16. Freja Beha Erichsen is one of the tops."

Credit goes to candlebougie at tFS for the nice find! I believe the image is pretty recent. It was uploaded to the MUSE magazine facebook page today, May 4th. It's definitely from this past season judging by the hair. Now that I think about it, it's probably a by product of show castings from this past season, so it's not necessarily a recent picture. It could be from Frebruary for all we know. I'm so obsessed with knowing how recent this polaroid is because I want to know if Freja is growing her hair out, or if she's going to cut it again. Yes, who knew I'd ever be this vigilant about hair length.

Anyway, the polaroid comes from John Pfeiffer Casting and I was able to dig up an old interview from 2005 with John where he mentions Freja.

MDC: Speaking of new girls, are there any that stand out this season?
JP: For me, Freja (with IMG); I’m living for Freja, she’s such a nice girl, too.

Freja seems to have that special something that puts casting directors under her spell. In case you didn't know, she is also one of casting agent James Scully's all-time favorite models.

The queen of cool. Probably one of the most-requested models of all my clients. She is the perfect old-school clothes-hanger with a little eighties androgyny thrown in.

With acclaim like this, I hope it means Freja will be around for another few years. I can't bear to see her fade away yet, as models are prone to do in the very fickle fashion industry.

Happy Birthday Freja!

Today marks the 21st year that Freja Beha Erichsen has been on this earth. As a very meager present to her, I have created this blog in her honor. I hope she experiences as much happiness this upcoming year as we fans have experienced in her presence. To commemorate the occasion, a very early Freja polaroid for your enjoyment. Probably the earliest one that has ever surfaced.
