In Milan?

The Burberry Prosum show was today and Freja didn't walk. Fashionologie has an interesting report up:

"According to rumors, last night, Gucci demanded all girls cast in their show fly into Milan, pronto. That means Burberry's usual all-star London lineup — Freja Beha Erichsen and Lily Donaldson among them — were already gone; Burberry did nab Jourdan Dunn and Lisanne De Jong, however."

We know that Freja is both a Burberry and Gucci favorite, walking in both shows countless times throughout her career. However, I suppose this means that she's more of a Gucci girl since she didn't show up at the Burberry show. Makes sense considering she's been a Gucci campaign girl many times while Burberry continues to stick with British faces.

Of course, Freja could have just skipped London altogether to get some much needed rest. She didn't walk in any of the week's other big shows: Julien MacDonald, Christopher Kane, Pringle of Scotland, Jaeger London (the last two being brands that she's done campaigns for in the past). Who knows? I guess we just wait and see until tomorrow if Freja shows up on the Gucci catwalk.....

London Again?

It feels like the SS10 shows just ended, but it's already time to start thinking about the FW1011 season just two short months away! And Burberry starts things off with the news that their runway show will again be held in London instead of Milan.

When I heard about this move last season, I was a bit skeptical as to whether Freja would walk in London. I knew she was a Burberry runway regular (and I'm convinced that if she were British she'd already have a campaign under her belt). But in nine seasons on the runway circuit she never once made it to London. Nevertheless, she surprised us all with a strong debut season walking in 6 shows, which makes me wonder if she'll repeat her performance for the upcoming season?

Freja started working like crazy halfway through 2009 with tons of editorials, campaigns and her strongest runway showing in a while. So if she keeps this up my guess is she'll be making the London stop again. But at this point it's all conjecture. You never know about the runway prospects of established models like Freja. One season they're everywhere, the next season they're gone...I'm looking at you Raquel Zimmermann.

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.
