MODEL MONDAY ♥ LINDSEY WIXSON

Lindsey Wixson from a story in W magazine. She looks like an old movie star.

WHERE did little ol' Lindsey Wixson (Marilyn) come from? Wichita, Kansas, folks! In about a year, she's as huge as Lara Stone. And I couldn't be more thrilled about it. FINALLY some really interesting girls with some personality in their looks. I mean, there has been a long stream of girls that I like, but they all look the same. Way way too many Eastern Europeans on the runways in the past has seemed to  thinned out a bit, ahem. I also love all the new black models (thank GOD people actually woke up and started to use a non-blonde girl!). But Lindsey's look is neat. It's cherub. It's strange. It's almost Campbell's Soup Kid. And I'm stoked the new batch seems to be more character than mannequin. Which is a good sign for fashion and things to come in general (don't ask...I'm a trend forecaster. I just feel it in my gut.). I was so so thrilled the first time I saw Lara Stone in Oyster magazine when I was with them. And now I'm thrilled the next strange little thing is 15-year-old (yep) Lindsey Wixson. I think some of these new girls have old Hollywood star quality. So, because I didn't see too many crazy new makeup themes (this week), I thought would be a good time to show LW in the shows she's been in. You might not be into her. But I always gravitate to non-traditional beauty. It's just more interesting to me. And I'm a sucker for a heart-shape lip. ♡

@ JULIEN MACDONALD

REALLY ANGELIC.

@ RICHARD NICOLL

THIS LOOK IS GORGEOUS. THE WHOLE THING.

and here she is in the new Galliano ads (she already did Miu Miu!).

Post Script: Because some of you have been mentioning the GORGEOUS meow meow (miu miu) ads, I thought I should add them here:
