Margaryta Senchylo is easy on the eyes but so hard on the mouth. There is something vaguely reminiscent of Esther Canadas when gazing at this 17 year old Ukranian. She is clearly an up and comer with a bright future on plenty of future catwalks.

Just two short years ago, Toni Garrn arrived on the modeling scene and in those two shorts years, this Hamburg native has managed to land in editorials for Elle, Italian Elle, Glamour, V and W. But, the most impressive feat for this relative newcomer is that she has been selected as the face of Calvin Klein Collection, replacing the beautiful and uber successful Natalia Vodianova. Talk about big shoes to fill! She walked exclusively for Calvin Klein this past Fashion Week (Fall 2008), meaning Mr. Klein must be making it worth her while to pass up, what one would imagine to be, a long list of designers offering her a spot on their catwalks. The new Calvin Klein print ads. featuring Toni, are superfluously graceful and they exude the clean lines and simplicity that has made the designer world renowned.

With a powerful 360 horse power V8 engine, this luxury sedan provides both a source of vigor and embodies the epitome of luxury. It is one of the only sedans on the market in which it is just as comfortable to ride in the backseat as it is to sit in one of the front seats. The options for upgrading this already sumptuousness auto are endless. Visit BMW USA to design your own version of this dream like sedan.
Oh, my…Miss Biana, you are a Beauty! Balti was born in Italy in 1984. Shockingly, she was rejected by Elite before making it with another agency. (Yet another Stunner that goes to show you, you can’t go by what by one person or one group of people think of you. So take note, all you aspiring models, keep your head up!!) Balti’s stunning blue eyes are made even more striking by her contrasting dark features. She has the look of an exotic model but she is still incredibly versatile. She seems to have hit her peak around 2005 with Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni print ads, although she made several appearances on the runway during fashion week for Diesel and Miss Sixty.

This new dimension of the marketplace has affected companies ranging from Fendi to Starbucks. The most stylish of the customization trend is the Fendi Artist Baguette. This chic canvas comes with Pantone Markers so you can create your own version of what the Fendi bag should look like.

The original Supermodels consisted of Naomi, Linda, Christy, Claudia, Cindy and Elle. They were only known by their first names. This exclusive group also sometimes included Yasmin, Tatiana, Nadja, Stephanie Seymour, Karen Mulder and the young Kate Moss. Naomi’s appearance on a Michael Jackson fueled Super Bowl Sobe commercial marked the return of these legendary beauties. Claudia can be found in current Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Salvatore Ferragamo spreads. Not bad for the thirty seven year old fashion veteran. Christy Turlington makes a beautiful colorful appearance in the new Escada ads. Louis Vuitton ad’s features relative newcomer Angela Lindvall, Claudia, Naomi, Eva, Stephanie and an almost unrecognizable Natalia Vodianova. Then, there is Kate Moss, who not even the most horrendous of PR incidents can keep down, appears in Donna Karen, David Yurman and Longchamp. Expect to see more of the Supermodels. The new girls just don’t have the staying power. They are young. They make two or three years of appearances and then, that’s it. Most designers don’t want the highly recognizable models, it detracts from the clothing so they chose young, interchangeable faces. Today is not really so different from when the original Supermodels came to be. They face the same challenges, making a name for themselves among countless other beautiful women. This goes to show how incredible the women who only need their first names really are.
