I have not done a feature on a Male Model to look out for as yet because I love women and love to look at them. I have been so intrigued by the latest crop of young beautiful models that I must do a whole post on just young beautiful female model on the horizon.
I have put you in the loop on a couple of girls. I told you about IT GIRL: JOURDAN DUNN here on this site back in Sept 2007 and she is killing them now... In Vogue etc....she is everywhere....I went on about Chanel Iman.
So it's only fair that I check the temperature of some of the fellas for all my female readers. But I have got to share with you a young man that I feel have so much potential it's scary first. He is waaay under the radar right now because he is playing college basketball in his second season. He also plays college tennis. He is currently represented by TURP MODELS USA™ and was discovered by a stylist in the Shibuya section of Tokyo Japan this past summer. He has done a ton of High Fashion catalog work while in Tokyo this past summer. There are plans to bring him to Europe for the shows next season as well as New York Fashion Week.....He is NEXT!!!
Ladies & Gentlemen I introduce to you LONO BRAZIL 3. Yes this is my eldest son. He is more than amazing to me for obvious reasons. I am extremely proud of my dude. But you gotta admit, money is nice with his. His vitals;
No she is not African. Nor is she mixed with Chinese....SHE A BLACK GIRL!!!
She is from the BK! Coney Island to be exact. She goes to LaGuardia High School. And she is about to blow. Bethann, I'm telling you. You need to come on with it! Your hard work and all the advocating is about to pay off.
We told you to look out for Chanel Iman when she was a tender 15. I'm telling you now. This young daughter has got it. LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!

Here's what the French media has written: Paris police seek missing model, former Saint Laurent muse PARIS (AFP) — French police were searching Friday for a Guinean former catwalk model, one time muse of the couture giant Yves Saint Laurent, a week after she vanished from her Paris houseboat. Nicknamed the "black princess", the 47-year-old Katoucha went missing from her home on a central stretch of the River Seine Friday night, according to relatives who reported her missing on Monday. The mother-of-three disappeared after being dropped off near her home from a party and her handbag was later recovered nearby. Investigators are exploring all lines of inquiry, including a fatal accident or suicide, and divers trawled the Seine in vain for her body this week. Born in Conakry, Katoucha worked with the greatest couture stars at the height of her career in the 1980s including Saint Laurent who "loved her enormously", according to Dominique Deroche, head of PR for the designer. "She was exactly like an Yves Saint Laurent drawing, a proud head on a long neck, very slim but with strong shoulders, made for haute couture." "She looked magnificent on the catwalk and often wore very powerful outfits -- like a cubist navy blue dress with doves around the neckline." Katoucha left the catwalk for good in 1994, but in recent years she made headlines as an outspoken campaigner against female circumcision, launching a foundation against the practice. "Today at the age of 47, I want a woman's combat and I have chosen the battle against excision," she said in a recent interview. Excised at the age of nine, in her home country Guinea, Katoucha recounted the ordeal in a recent book entitled "In My Flesh". The daughter of the writer and historian Djibril Tamsir Niane, Katoucha spent an idyllic childhood in Conakry. "I grew up surrounded byu hibiscus and ylang-ylang flowers. I used to get drunk on the richest perfumes and saw myself as a perfumer or a model," she wrote in the book. But then her life changed forever. "We lived in Conakry, life was sweet, then one day mother said we were going to the cinema. And I found myself the victim of a horror movie. "An unimaginable trauma, that I had never managed to talk about, until I found love and wrote 'In my flesh'," she said. She said she saw her career as a top model, first with the designer Thierry Mugler, as a form of "revenge" for the horror of excision. "I embodied the most arrogant and admired kind of feminity, I who was supposed to be diminished."
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN KNIT DRESS WITH DETACHABLE POLO Black knit dress with detachable polo. Button fastenings run horizontally around the dress, just above the chest. Long sleeves. The hemline sits on the knee.
Knit chic, perfect for smart daywear with towering platforms, then move straight into evening removing the polo neck and shimmy those bare shoulders.
MARNI BELTED JERSEY BACK SHIFT DRESS
Navy belted jersey back shift dress. Round neck. Sleeveless. The front is navy; the jersey back is charcoal grey. Pockets sit on either side of the hips. The hemline sits above the knee. A zip fastening runs down the back.
Simple and seriously chic, wear with towering heels everywhere and anywhere.
It goes without saying to all women fashionista's that you "MUST" own a little black dress. And in professional terms, no matter what you are selling, you have to sell yourself or you are not going to be productive.
The more upscale your product, the more upscale the image must be. Or if you want to achieve upscale status your image must say "UPSCALE".
So don't go into H&M looking for something cheap to work. It will look just that"CHEAP".

Until today there is no authorised biography existing and the memories who Karl Lagerfeld would compose stay perfectly confidential. After three years of work, and over three hundred hours of footage, Rodolphe Marconi discloses the daily life of the star through his personal lens as a filmmaker.»
This is a new segment which I intend to continue on a regular basis(as often as my time permits). Here I will put on blast what i like to refer to as "FASHION FOOLISHNESS" and other crimes against humanity.
I snatched these photos off the internet but, I will keep my camera with me now at all times. Looking to catch you all out there. So remember....THE STREETS IS WATCHING.......
Kelis is on the cover of the latest issue of Bon a Swedish Magazine .
I LOVE KELIS!
I did a post on her last year announcing her as our it girl. And after further deliberation, we have concluded that she wins again hands down.
Their have been conflicting reports that she has a reality show coming soon. As well she has been seen around LA with a camera crew in tow......Which for whatever reason documenting her life is smart.
He's the problem though. She may be too fly for her own good. I am not so sure that mainstream America is ready for her. Unless some adjustments are made. She has a great personality. She's just kinda raw. And not in the Matrix.
Rihanna seem to be breaking through and her music is commercial for all intents and purposes. And she is swagger jacking Kelis & Beyonce at the same time.(Well Beyonce is swagger jacking Kelis too but that is a whole other subject) But Rihanna is winning with Kelis' formula. But she seems contrived.
Kelis is what she is. It is obvious. She is her own stylist. She is a tastemaker and a trendsetter. I am not sure her and Nas is a good look but I don't know him. And she likes him so I guess we gotta accept that.(Maybe I am a little jealous)
As far as her last record, I think they released the wrong singles. The song with her and Nas was not quite making it video wise. We loved "Bossy".
Everthing was right here. PURE GLAMOR!!!
She should have followed up with "I Don't Think So" and kept the Glamor coming. And serve these other chickas.
She also needs the right script. Something like Halle did in MONSTER'S BALL. That would do the trick. A movie project would let us see her expand in another light.
I wish I was her manager.......I'm just saying.
So let's just hold tight and wait for this story to unfold. And mark my word.
Like a supernova 7 For All Mankind came and went faster than you can say True Religion. You could not find a girl in the states that did not have a pair of 7's. And at first it was cute. And not to mention good for their business. But 7's were everywhere. Even Marshall's(I know because I shop there. The one on Michigan Ave in Chgo had Prada Shoes so....) Anyway, it was beyond commercial. It was sad......
It was harder, faster, stronger but not longer or should I say it was no longer.
Until now. 7's are back! The new must have jean for the girls that get it, are getting open on the 7 For All Mankind IVY IN YOSEMITE ORGANIC DENIM.
These wide legged, bell bottom panses are sooo sexy. And with the right shoe, it's over!!!
I see a chunky wedge or a nice Louboutin platform.
IVY IN YOSEMITE ORGANIC DENIM
They Ivy Pant is a one-of-a-kind combination. Lattice work mini-pockets on the front, extra large belt loops, and a sewn pleat down the front and back of each leg make the Ivy Pant cute and unique.
YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH THESE!!! Get yours now cause if the guys from 7 have it their way, the are gonna be everywhere by summer 2008
Wow what a difference a day makes. Or actually a week. New York Fashion Week that is!
Jourdan Dunn has just returned from New York City back to her homeland of England a changed girl. You see until this fall this 17 year old had never left England. Now she is one of the hottest new up and coming models on the planet!
She booked Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and L.A.M.B. By Gwen Stefani her first season! Not bad for a teenage girl whom has not been to prom or graduated from high school yet.
Dispite the fact that this is her first time on the ramp she's got the numbers. Height 178 - 5' 10" Bust 81 - 32" Waist 58 - 23" Hips 88 - 35" Shoe Size 39 - 7.5 Hair color black Eye color black
And other than fellow teenage model sensation Chanel Iman, She has potential to reach levels near that of her famous countrywoman and TOP MODEL NAOMI CAMPBELL. I think she is prettier than both and is more Tyra than Naomi. She also has a understated elegance that is rare from girls this young.
Jourdan was spotted by a scout from Storm - the agency which discovered Kate Moss - while shopping with a friend in a branch of High Street fashion chain Primark in Hammersmith, west London, last year. Sorm boss Sarah Doukas. famously spotted a 14-year-old Kate Moss and Naomi was discovered in a simular manner.
