Precious new faces are getting more and more attention these days in New York as July is ending and the big things are starting next month already. Everybody is trying to get his best weapon in town, secret or highly promoted. Between the two opposite strategies, there is a few girls that neither hidden nor overexposed. Not yet. Apart from having some strange nicknames like wildcards or dark horses, these girls are often the ones who take the cake at the end of the fashion week. Neither totally surprising nor completely expected, just going where they have to and doing what they need to do. As simple as it sounds. This way to launch a career reamins one of the most reliable as all you need is a few words from the agent and a bunch of good polaroids.

That’s exactly how we noticed Tina Veshaguri, with a few great pictures and the right description. Digitals made in Paris in Next Models’ very typical style were just enough to make up our mind and the amount of exclamation marks in the mail we received gave us a hint on her agency’s excitement. Found via the extended and intensive scouting programme of Noah Models and currently under development at Next worldwide, Tina quickly went from her girl-with-promising-polas status to one of most photogenic newcomers of this upcoming season. Day in, day out or straight ahead to stardom, she’s on her way.

Jessica is like a precious little jewel that Elite treasures instead of overexposing her. Having walked in the spotlights of Prada Resort last year certainly means a lot but sudden hype quickly gets out of control and the strategy was a lot wiser than that. Walking any show labeled as close to Prada is a huge bonus but doesn’t secure a whole career which needs time and hard work. Or simply the ability to take the right opportunities, one after the other, to gather them in order to build the perfect portfolio. May we call Teen Vogue such an opportunity ?

Certainly yes. Teen Vogue offers both an incredible training ground for young ladies making their first steps and some high profile editorial pieces for their portfolio. Jessica worked with Arthur Elgort and it’s clearly something one wouldn’t overlook while having a glimpse at her roster. May issue was one of the reasons we thought of Jessica as a good Lexposed Faces, showcasing how she kept her freshness from the start and managed to improve her presence in front of the camera. The 18-years-old model from Texas, originally from Kim Dawson Agency there, has probably more hidden assets than Prada and Teen Vogue. But, if we want to talk about facts only, these two are rock-solid proofs she’s got what it takes to catch the good eyes
