We're crazy in love with these new faces
By Joseph Tenni

Dominika Kucharova
Slovakian sensation Dominika Kucharova can’t, and won't, stop. After walking for Alberta Ferretti and Marc Jacobs, the willowy brunette appeared in a Prada campaign and currently appears in Dolce & Gabbana’s fall campaign, alongside Model Mania alumnae Julia Dunstall and Shannan Click. She's a force to be reckoned with.

Barbara Berger
Sizzling Barbara Berger is the latest Brazilian to get her buns to New York and hit big. With runway appearances at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and Betsey Johnson, the leggy Leo scored a spot in Emporio Armani’s new campaign. Look for her in Wonderland magazine, too.

Adriana Cernanova
Okay, another new face from Slovakia? Whatever is going in the country we've barely heard of, we're not complaining. And neither is Bratislava-born beauty Adriana Cernanova. She's already shot for American and British Marie Claire, walked for Givenchy couture and is now sitting pretty for much, much more.

Larissa Spores
With her flaxen-blonde mane, Larissa Spores turns heads wherever she goes. The corn-fed cutie from the midwest is the new teen on the scene. You'll be seeing more of her soon enough.

Melissa Baker
Another midwesterner, Ohio native Melissa Baker, has everybody talking. The doll-like brunette has an impressive resume, having posed for the Sisley campaign (shot by Terry Richardson) and Abercrombie & Fitch (shot by Bruce Weber). She's all city now.

Edythe Hughes
All-American blonde Edythe Hughes had a fortuitous start when she was cast in a Calvin Klein show—always a stellar sign of things to come. The gangly girl has gone on to shoot editorials for Dazed & Confused, Velvet and Italian Glamour. Choose Hughes!

If Rad Hourani were writing this blurb, it would be over already. That's because, for the soon-to-explode French-Canadian designer, it's all about extreme minimalism. Thus, the concept behind this one-size-fits-all, unisex, sleeveless T-shirt—printed with the dates and times of a calendar—is that it can be worn by anyone, anytime.

01, 22, 16. Nope, it’s not bingo night; it's the numerical filing system at Maison Martin Margiela. Adding to the mathematical fun is a new line of fine jewelry in absurdist proportions and scale. Also this month: Comme de Garçons for H&M, Louis Vuitton and more. By Franklin Melendez

"Madonna starves herself on a raw macrobiotic kosher vegan kaballah diet and works out three hours a day to maintain the physique of a 12-year-old gymnast boy, and then has the cheeks of a 300-pound woman implanted into her face. And her forehead is like a plastic baby's bottom. It's like Nicole Kidman's forehead at the height of her botox addiction, and we all remember how unfortunate that era was."
