With a few lines here and a few lines there, Ginta Lapina was a bit everywhere in our runway reviews. Now it was big time to write a piece all about her, she’s maybe the one who really deserves it this season. She hasn’t “exploded” on one day, she took it slow. Step by step, making sure to have the right names at the right place. It started at Proenza Schouler, her only show in New York. She probably could have walked more but it turned out to be a better move for her. She looked so precious and a bit mysterious. What was going to happen next ?
Next things happened in Milan when she walked for Antonio Marras, Blugirl, Sportmax and, last but not least, Dolce & Gabbana. They are not the kind of shows to create stars out of the blue but we should never forget it’s where it all began for many great girls. Good steps and good signs. Then Paris, Paris where anything is possible. Paris where designers do it their own way. It’s a bit of an old reputation, it’s not always true but the City of Lights remains unique from time to time when it doesn’t follow worldwide trends and offers brillant unexpected castings.
So, Paris was special in Ginta’s career and it’s always better when the climax comes at the end of the season. There was YSL first and Miu Miu on the last day of shows. Only one of them would have been enough to give her a serious kick but a girl with an unusual start needed a suitable ending of this kind. We just can admire such a tailor-made career, plenty of precision from day one to the end matching the strongest look and sweetest attitude. It took us days and days to decide which pictures to use for this piece on Ginta. After turning the whole topic upside-down we found out that some polaroids taken by Jonathan Leder were able to reflect her uncanny potential and probably the best to describe our current state of mind. They are quite a beautiful question mark which leaves us dreaming of what’s coming next again.
