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

Patricia Schmid

Bowl-cut beauty Patricia Schmid is fashion's next It Girl, and not only because the Swiss dish was the date of the Proenza Schouler boys to the Met gala. She's posed for Mario Testino in the pages of French Vogue and she glows on the cover of i-D, not to mention the current Adidas campaign. Soon she can be seen in Numero, French and American Vogue and a campaign for Jill Stuart. Prepare to be Schmid-tten!
Eva Poloniova

Sixteen-year-old, six-foot-tall Eva Poloniova was the memorable figure in last season's Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs shows, since gracing the pages of V, Wonderland, Teen Vogue and Italian Marie Claire. From the land of former Model Mania stars Karolina Kurkova and Hana Soukupova, the hip-hop loving cutie is fashion's newest Czech charmer.
Gabriella Calthorpe

British baby doll Gabriella Calthorpe found her calling when Naomi Campbell introduced her to her London agency, Premier. With that fairytale start, the adorable Aries has appeared in Italian, Russian and the American editions of Vogue, as well as Vogue Italia Couture with Paolo Roversi. When not a fixture in glossies, Gabriella practices horseback riding and tennis. She's what we call Anglomania!
Adrianne Ho

Eurasian sensation Adrianne Ho is the latest Canadian to hit the international modeling scene. The fine-featured Toronto native has recently been immortalized by Canuk cosmetic giant MAC. Adrianne puts the Ho in hot.
Devynne Scilingo

Piscean princess Devynne Scilingo is no typical Jersey Girl. The petite blond with Angelina Jolie lips has kissed the pages of Italian Vogue, Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Elle Girl and D magazine. She exudes star quality and will soon illuminate the pages of Italian Glamour, Lula and British Elle. Devynne is simply divine.
Olga Sherer

Belarussian Olga Sherer is cutting through the modeling red tape. The fiery 15-year-old has appeared on the cover of Amica and is poised to be the most photographed redhead since Karen Elson. Olga can be oogled in upcoming editorials for i-D, Flair and Bon magazine. Keep your eyes on this ginger-haired jetsetter.
Suzanne Diaz

Reminiscent of an artist's muse, Suzanne Diaz has attracted the high-end fashion set. After a stellar appearance in the Prada show, her softly angular features can be seen in Italian Vogue and on the cover of Italian Glamour. Diaz dazzles!

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..
