First thing we saw of Magdalena was a lonely polaroid. So lonely but striking enough to put her name on our list. Wasn’t that long ago, end of 2007 and she signed with d’management since, which was definitely a good move in her career. We thought about her as a doll with the cutest chin ever, the kind of jawline we couldn’t not notice. She quickly proved to be much more that a lovely doll when she arrived in Milan and started to fill her portfolio with impressive tests. Brought a little more darkness and much intensity. Some will say drama. We’d rather agree. There’s something truly dramatic in her attitude in front of a camera. Her gaze. The way she moves. A presence. Nothing overwhelming in a bad way, nothing too powerful to be true. Just the most honest way to appear on some early tests. Lighter as a feather, fierce like no other.
No wonder this kind of book has made of our beloved beginner a natural choice for our favorite italian magazines. Twice in Amica by Massimo Pamparana then Vicky Trombetta (and we owe to both some marvelous new faces moment in that same magazine) and in Velvet by Takay. It’s no longer testing, it’s getting real as her book is gets thicker. And stronger. Last but not least and to tell it with a quirky gallicism, we’d say the cherry on the cake is her runway bookings last September. Albino and Antonio Marras among others. Two more good reasons to call her our favorite.
