Luize Salmgrieze

Agency Natalie Models
– Riga, Latvia

The Editorial Entertainer: Luize Salmgrieze

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 13, 2009

She’s not the newest girl in Paris or Berlin of these last two weeks but she’s definitely one you should never forget. She’s one of these girls that agents like to describe as beautiful yet interesting. Able to work out various kind of editorial, advertising job, runway or whatever. Pretty enough, never boring. Magical formula or good management ? A bit of both and a bit of luck as well, especially at the beginning. Pushed on the international scene by her agency in her home country, Natalie Models in Riga, she’s been noticed first as one of the stunning new faces a few season ago. Things take time and you’d rather take it slow sometimes. That’s how Luize did it, that’s how she made her marks.

Magazines are her kingdom, glossy paper is her best friend. She was recently featured in i-D by Tung Walsh, Zoo by Ellen Von Unverth, Mixte by Jacob Sutton and Elle UK by Thomas Nutzl. Quite a stunning line-up and and this time, it has almost nothing to do luck. Luize’s skills are kind of endless when you put her in front of the camera, she just seems to love it and find the right pose, the striking expression so easily. A mix of intensity and playful looks that always pays back: she finally seems to establish herself in the fashion world as a geniune editorial-girl. And a perfect entertainer. As you can see by yourself on her latest polaroids from Women Direct, New York. Take it slow… and take it easy.

Agency AL Models
– New York, United States

Magic And Mystery: Alexa Yudina

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 14, 2009

Last weeks have been hers, last shows in New York have been hers and our hearts belong to her since the day we saw her for the first time. Alexa Yudina and her unique look: someone who couldn’t not make her marks on the fashion scene with something that couldn’t not appear as captivating. You see her and the rest is history. She needed a kick to start seriously ? She got two kicks during Resort shows, at Calvin Klein and Miu Miu. Double love gives you wings and Alexa is ready to fly.

From AL Models to Women NY to the world, Alexa is definitely getting an international exposure these days. Not only from the shows (even if it would be enough) but you should also rely on her editorial-performances to enhance her power and popularity. Well, it’s less about popularity than about a rough diamond turning into the finest jewel. Photographers like Rony Shram or Erica Shires simply did marvels with her and magazines like Tokion will remember her on their pages forever.

Polaroids are always worth thousand words and that’s also why she’s Lexposed Face today. To show you how her magic and her mystery are purely hers, regardless of the styling level or the reputation of the show. She’s not only very interesting as another girl from the new generation, she’s also one of the most inspiring face we’ve seen over years. No less.

Can't Stop Now Don't You Know: Gloria Loitz

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 16, 2009

Materials haven’t stopped pouring in our inbox since yesterday evening. Gloria Loitz, again and again. Both her agency in New York, One Management, and her mother agency from Canada, the powerhouse Mode Models sent us their best of Gloria. Especially remarkable were her recent works with photographers Anderson and James Mahon, two of these not-so-numerous artists who are able to capture the best of a new faces in a few pictures.

Gloria is special. It shows. What you see is what you get: urban elegance, melancholic gaze and this little ring you surely haven’t overlooked. Editorial look meets runway silhouette. Sounds perfect and her portfolio is actually beyond perfection. With these little imperfections that makes the whole thing looks even more perfect. To make it simple: beware, explosive potential!

Fresh Flavored Couture Candy: Frida Gustavsson

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 17, 2009

We first noticed her last year, last summer exactly. We were already smitten by the freshness and the cuteness but had to see more. Pictures came step by step, mostly from Japanese magazines at her international beginnings. Thrilling cuteness again and being cute became Frida Gustavsson’s signature. We could even say it was her trademark and passport for months until she finally arrived in Paris, at IMG Models, a few weeks ago. Then came July and came couture. The sweetest Swede took another way, slightly out of her cute beaten tracks.

Couture brought her some unforgettable runway moments and put her on the map for good. Today, nobody can ignore Frida any longer. She’s the gorgeous one who opened Valentino among other highlights during these three days of frenzy in Paris. Count Elie Saab, Alexandre Matthieu, Stephane Rolland on the list as well. She’s classy and her fresh, playful attitude just can’t get overlooked. Backstage or on the pages of her revamped portfolio, the sensation is the same.

Isabelle Sauer: Just Watch These Polas And Dance

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 21, 2009

Isabelle Sauer. The more we see of her, the more we like. And if you are lucky enough to meet her, it will leave no more room for doubts. One look, one love and the story goes on. Isabelle belongs to these girls who capture your attention so naturally, without trying to hard. As models and as persons. We had two opportunities to meet her, once at her mother agency Modelwerk in Hamburg last April, once during the shows in Berlin at the beginning of July and our impressions remain the same. If they didn’t just grow strong and stronger while our expectations for her future started to raises. At the crossroad between classic beauty and uncanny-looking young woman, her appeal as a model is obvious yet hard to describe with a few words only. It takes pages or just needs a big wow.

As it’s pretty hard to write down a big wow with letters and dots, we might focus on facts which might tell you a lot more on Isabelle too. With a show line-up in Berlin including designers like Schumacher or Kai Kühne, an ability to catch your eyes on the catwalk and backstage, you might have a good taste of her potential. And an accurate idea of how her future might look like. Well, her future is starting now if it hasn’t already started. From a recent trip in Paris, she added to her roster some tests by our favorite photographer in town, Jessie Craig. Among others. Now she’s making her first steps in London. Modelwerk’s powerful scouting meets Select’s endless dedication to her development. A quick glimpse at her fresh polas is worth any explanation. As Modelwerk wrote it on their blog, there was a little moment of silence (before a wave of excitement) when they received them this morning. We bet you’re quite silent and/or/then excited too.

– Riga, Latvia

We Are Hypnotized About: Laila Pudule

by Maud & Pénélope . posted on July 23, 2009

Discovered by 2B Models in Latvia, definitely one of the agency to watch at the place to watch, Laila Pudule made her first steps in New York with Ford Models and we’ve just received her freshest news from London. Her future looks brighter than ever and her polaroid sheet is like a good taste of what’s coming up. We couldn’t tell you in detail what it’s going to be but when you’ll see the results we guess you’ll be quite smitten. Be patient, September is coming soon. Right now it’s all about her look and there is much to see, much to say just looking at her latest pictures.

With a portfolio getting better and better with each new polaroid, each new test, Laila’s career relies mostly on her unique look. Expressive eyes, light-brown locks. The best thing could be that she looks moody on pictures, not in real life which is a huge advantage for a new face today.A warmly welcome combination that could turn into her signature as time and show seasons go by. Right now we’re hypnotized by her polas from FM Agency in London. Ecstatic mood.
