Rachel Scott
North Carolina cutie Rachel Scott has plenty to smirk about. Currently the Taurean teen is taking Paris by storm, with plans on the rest of Europe.

Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor
It was only a matter of time before the daughter of Duran Duran’s John Taylor and photogenic photographer Amanda de Cadenet began modeling. The girl on film has already been profiled in Paris Vogue (seen here) and is definitely in good hands at DNA.

Jen Chia
Nebraska-born Asian sensation Jen Chia is striking a pose in all the right places. Look for her profile in Interview, in which she talks about dropping out of MIT to go to art school and hanging out with Michel Gondry. A self-described nerd, she tells us she has the world's fourth-highest Tetris score—and we believe our Chia pet!

Ashley Smith
New to New York, Ashley Smith hit the ground running since arriving from Texas just days ago. Calling to mind a junior Anna Nicole Smith, she'll be magazine regular in no time.

Sofia Knutsson
From the mean streets of Stockholm comes Aries teen Sofia Knutsson. Having only spent a short time in New York, the softly freckled striking Viking is packed with potential. Sofia? So fierce!

Ingrid Auestad
With a look that's both classic and futuristic, Norwegian knockout Ingrid Auestad is a kind of runway dominatrix who commands attention. The leggy lovely with bedroom eyes is a recognizable face back home, and if she has her way, world domination is not far off.

Auguste Abeliunaite
The fashion world is once again in the grips of Lithuania mania. Brazen brunette Auguste Abeliunaite has spent time in Tokyo, where she booked Japanese Vogue, before walking for the last Jil Sander show in Milan, which is always a sign of future success.

  Collections
We go backstage at the women's and men's shows in Paris, Milan, New York and London for a peek at all the fashion and frolic.

Hint Shop
The modern cultural history of Sweden and Norway pretty much boils down to ABBA versus Black Metal. As in, lilting melodies to disco beats versus shrieking vocals to grating guitar distortion. With this as its founding principle, dark denim label Anti-Sweden takes aim at Swedish skinnies.

 Shoptart
While Camelot is over for Olivier Theyskens, it isn't stopping Nina Ricci from showing some First Lady love by relaunching their famous Jackie O sunglasses. Also this month: Paul Smith, Mi Concept, Isabel Marant, Zero + Maria Cornejo and more.
