Monthly batch of hot new models to feast your eyes on
By Joseph Tenni

Remy

Discovered in a Chicago restaurant by Ford's sharp-eyed scout, Susan Quillin, Remy has had a rapid rise that gives new meaning to the term "awe and shock." She was immediately booked as the new Calvin Klein poster girl and quickly hit the pages of L'Uomo Vogue and Oyster. It's an all-out blitz.
Dovile Virsilaite

As we love saying here at MM, Lithuania mania continues! Dovile Virsilaite is the latest Baltic beaut to drive us crazy. Bringing up the coveted rear of the alphabet, the willowy brunette has racked up appearances in W, V, the Valentino Red campaign and, coming soon, Italian Vogue and the Versus campaign, both lensed by Steven Meisel. You better letter!
Lizette Lodin

Movie-star blonde Lizette Lodin, who bears a striking resemblance to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, got her start in the biz as a finalist in Elite's Model Look competition. Now the 17-year-old Swede appears in the new D&G campaign, shot by Steven Klein, among heaps of other starring roles. She's our leading lady.
Gerren Taylor

The young and the restless Gerren Taylor received some negative press as she was starting out last year because of her tender age. Now, however, the California cutie has hit 13 and can be seen in W, a campaign for Marc Jacobs, and is currently in New York shooting the next Tommy Jeans campaign. At this rate, we predict the Doogie Howser of modeling will graduate med school, cure cancer and fly to the moon by her 18th birthday—or maybe not.
Aline Weber

Imagine never seeing snow, watching a movie on the big screen or even tasting mashed potatoes. Aline Weber recently arrived in New York from a little Brazilian village in just such a state. But the Aries has more than made up for lost time with an appearance in W, by Mario Sorrenti, and the next Teen Vogue, shot by his sister Vanina. Aline's favorite dish now? Yup, you guessed it: taters.
Sarah Parr

The Maryland-born, Massachusetts-raised and Manhattan-based Sarah Parr is blazing a trail. The Taurean can be seen in 20Ans, Amica, Australian Harper's Bazaar and Russian Elle. The girl's on fire.
Diana Sillaots

Estonia's best is taking off. Clocking up squillions of frequent flyer miles, Diana Sillaots can be seen in Japanese Vogue, Teen Vogue and Grazia. Next stop, world domination.

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.

 Shoptart
While the launch of Rick Owens' London store has been pushed back, we can report the space will be just as dark and macabre as you could want, with a few added touches alluding to the British Empire’s wicked history—like this sculpture of his head on a platter. Also this month: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Heartless, Prada and more..
