Model Temperance Nichols

Height: 5’10″   waist: 24   hips: 34   bust: 32   dress: 2   shoe: 9

Based in Denver, Represented by Wilhelmina Denver

This woman has great timing! Her submission landed in my inbox TODAY, just as I was about to post the model of the month I had chosen last night. (Be patient. The one I had in mind submitted months ago. Her/his time is still coming!) When someone this fiercely beautiful comes along, there is no time to delay. I had to share her with the modeling industry pronto! The fact that she is based in the city that launched little ‘ol me is an added perk. (Read about that HERE.) I can picture Temperance strutting down the runway to bigger markets, just as I did. Stay tuned to see where she lands!

The catwalk and editorial mags are going to love this blooming beauty. Her first test shoot looks like a spread from Vogue with a seasoned supermodel!

Seeking Representation

OK, if you want to know the definition of a marketable commercial face, you are looking at it! This adorable kid, “Coop,” is not only off-the-charts cute, he is also a triple threat in the making. I’m placing bets he nabs a national commercial in no time. Then, next stop Broadway!

Height: 5’2″    Age: 14    Based in Atlanta, Georgia

Another Cindy Crawford clone! I say “another” because Cindy’s daughter Kaia is a mini Cindy. But I think Kaia and Isabelle were somehow separated at birth; it’s hard to tell which looks more like supermodel Cindy! Not surprisingly, Isabelle’s mom was a model as well. I just happen to know she has two tall parents and a big growth spurt on the horizon, so look for her on the catwalks in a few years! Well, that is if she has time for Fashion Week. Isabelle also is an amazing musician, singer, and composer. 

See what all the buzz is about: What a beauty!

Represented by Wilhelmina’s Fitness Division in New York

Seeking Fashion Representation

Jasmina has modeled for many big-name clients, including Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Underarmour, Cosmopolitan, and Bob’s Stores. She is in fabulous shape and has already proven that models a couple inches under the average can work! Now she is hoping to break the height barrier and venture into the world of fashion. With that face, she has my vote!

French Fashion Flair

There is nothing like the flair of the French. Whenever I took a flight in Europe and landed at Charles de Gaulle, I instantly would be hit with a case of style envy. From toddlers to grandparents, everyone dresses with panache. They never look like they stepped out of a catalog but always out of a spread in Vogue. How do they do it?

Ultra Stylish Brigitte Bardot

A recent  article in the NY Times about the new book The Killer Detail, by French journalists Francois Armanet and Elisabeth Quin, outlined the easy recipe for achieving that certain je ne sais quoi:

The secret is balance and detail.

“Wear a vintage Chanel jacket — with jeans. Wear a little black dress — with flaming red stilettos. Never dress yourself from head to toe in one designer; never wear everything new.”

Models absolutely should follow these rules. Vintage clothes, a fantastic pair of jeans, the little black dress, the surprising detail that makes you stand out from the cattle-call mass—these are your best friends.
