Storm : a little collection for winter

A resource for anyone who wants to work in fashion. Don't know Oscar de la Renta from Emilio de la Morena? Don't know Mariacarla from Viktoriya? Don't fret: with weekly profile updates of models, designers, stylists, and so on, you'll know who's who in no time.

She comes from a relatively prominent family (her father was a distinguished notary). She is a descendant of the famous French sculptress Camille Claudel.
ReplyDeleteShe was approached in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris by Dawn Wolfe at the age of 13. Her father thoroughly disapproved of her quitting school and pursuing a career in modeling but she did it nonetheless. She has made appearances in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Allure, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, and perhaps most notably, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Victoria's Secret catalogs. Her campaigns include Bloomingdales, Armani Exchange, Calvin Klein, J. Crew, Nautica, Oscar de la Renta, and Tommy Hilfiger, among others.
She has walked for Gucci, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Nina Ricci, and Victoria's Secret.
Claudel appeared as "The Pregnant Model" in an editorial for the April 2006 edition of US Vogue, called "The Shape Issue".
