Learn Your Supermodels: Jacquetta Wheeler

Jacquetta Wheeler comes from a very specific breed of models. The coltish, boyish, fun-loving cool chick. The mold forged in the sixties by Twiggy, and exemplified today by Agyness Deyn. Cool Brittania girls. Low maintenance girls. Girls you think you’d want to hang out with. Short haired, big smiles girls. You know the type. I adore how radically unsymmetrical her face is. One eye is notably higher than the other. She’s gorgeous. I’ve also heard that she’s left modeling to pursue higher education, which is always commendable.

Know Your Supermodels: Anouck Lepere

Anouck Lepere, a member of that special coterie of women who A) possess beauty that makes mere mortals weep and B) is  way fucking smarter than those same mortals will ever be and C) super cool on top of all that. Before the runway irresistibly beckoned, she was a student of architecture in Antwerp.  Then she got discovered and singlehandedly brought eyebrows back into fashion. The fantastic crystal-palace glamor of girls like Karen Mulder has allure, undeniably. But more intriguing is the un-glamor glamor of a girl like Anouck, whose hair and eyebrows are her own, who looks even in couture like she just happened to stroll in dressed like that, and who seems like somebody you could (and would want to) cross paths with in real life.
