Fashion News: Calvin is Done with Size Zero

In the past few years, the high fashion scene in NY, London, Milan and Paris has had many underweight and underage models walk down the runways during Fashion Week(s). It is quite normal for most runway models to be about 5'11'' and a size zero. Some girls are this thin naturally, but lets face it, most aren't.



Thankfully, American designer Calvin Klein has taken a step in the right direction to change the health issues regarding size within the fashion industry.

According to Fashionologie, the creative director of Calvin Klein, Francisco Costa, has done away with casting size 0 models and is reportedly committed to only casting models who are size 2-4.

Of course, increasing the standards to sizes 2-4 aren't in any way a big change, but this does allow flexibility for models and takes off some of the pressure that is put on these young girls to be super thin.

Booking the Calvin Klein show is one of the most prestigious jobs a model can have during NY fashion week, so maybe this change will be a good motivator for some models to maintain a healthier lifestyle?

Maybe other designers will follow Costa's lead and help solidify this change for the industry?

Who knows. I hope so.

Meggasus is Calling it Now...Breakout Faces of F/W 10.11

It's that time again!! Today is the first official day of NY fashion week and one of the most exciting parts of it is seeing which new faces will be the breakout stars of the season. Who will get the Calvin Klein exclusive? Who will open Prada? Who will walk the most shows? Who will be Russell Marsh's favorite new girl? (Oh, and in case your didn't know, Russell Marsh is GOD in the modeling world....he casts BCBG, Prada, Miu Miu etc).

So, I'm going to make a few predictions on which new faces will rock the fashion world this season. I'm basing this on gut feeling so..........here it goes. The first girl has practically zero hype right now, from what I can tell......but I still really like her and I'm rooting for her!

1) Mariel Soehner @ Ford
Why Mariel? Her show card really stuck out to me when browsing Ford's show package on models.com. I LOVE the harsh, platinum blond hair combined with her soft facial features. She photographs beautifully and her body looks amazing for the runway.

2)Kristina Krivomazova @ Marilyn


Why Kristina? Well, first of all she's with Marilyn ....not that I'm bias or anything...and the board there never fails to bring us a few new stars each season. Given that she did the Calvin Klein pre-fall shows, she has a good chance of being in Calvin this season!! Such an effortless beauty.

3) Amy Greenhough @ OneI would post Amy's show card if you could actually tell what she looked like from it, but you can't. (Why did One Management do that?) So here are some poloroids instead! I love this girl...she's just so cool. Her bone structure is amazing and her hair makes her really memorable!

Well, there you have it...my picks for this upcoming season. What do you think?

I can't wait to see what these girls can do...I will keep you posted on their accomplishments.

Vogue Farmington: "Whoa, Nelly"

So, Katie and I were in the parking lot of Applewood Diner and as we sat in Nelly Furtado (our car) we decided to break out the new camera and shoot an editorial. It was raining.
