A great model isn’t made by looks alone; it’s in the way he or she moves, in their expressiveness, in their chameleon ability to contort into different shapes and personas. Antidote’s accompanying video for their ‘Icons’ shoot showcases more of those qualities, leaving no doubt as to the fact that Bianca Balti, Malgosia Bela, Naomi Campbell, Saskia de Brauw, Eva Herzigova, Natasha Poly, Aymeline Valade…

They’re all models at the top of their game (or at least near enough to it), but is Antidote magazine right to call them all icons?

The line between sugary sweet youth and raw unadulterated smut must be a fine one – if the ease with which Terry Richardson skates between the two is anything to go by. This shoot of Lindsey Wixson is on the youthful fun side; a trip to Miami with rollerskates and dolphins and icecream. Playing to the ’50s and ’60s fashion trends though puts the styling…

Designer bohemian never looked so good. Often when a campaign involves a huge cluster of models you don’t know where to look. Things can get too busy. But with Cavalli, that’s really just an exact reflection of the maximalist philosophy behind the clothing – so it works. Boys, girls, bare skin, floating layers, the clothing draped across the bare skin and the girls draped across…

What would have happened if Lindsey Wixson had proved unavailable to model for this shoot? That’s what I find myself wondering, considering that with those button lips and that dimpled chin, it seems to have been conceptualised just for her. Like a Doll is the title. Like a doll she is. Not just by her nature, but by the styling: candy colours and sheer knee-high…

See the words ‘casting call’ in a video title and you expect some fairly inane content of models saying their names, their agencies, and maybe walking back and forth a few times. I know that’s what I was expecting of this Rodarte casting call video. But I was pleasantly surprised, not to mention highly entertained. Who would have thought that asking models some simple questions…

When a fashion show starts with a blown-out gown that should technically be a showstopper, you know spring 2012 is in for a fresh start. Oscar de le Renta’s spring collection was different to what we’re used to from the man. It was less predictable and most sensational. As the high-profile celebrities and clients glamorised the front row, the raw backdrop muffled down before a…

Only a street style queen could pick out the creme of the crop. Especially when it comes down to New York City during New York fashion week. When model Lindsey Wixson isn’t performing her mainstream runway duties, she continues the style saga on the street, as seen in this cute, French-inspired do. The upper-torso shot is enough to justify her chic personal style. The pastel…

Z Spoke is Zac Posen’s offering to the young. Young, and young at heart, perhaps – but it’s a line that always manages to keep clear of too much girlishness or frivolity, always laced with a certain sophistication. Lindsey Wixson makes for the perfect, youthful Z Spoke girl in Posen’s latest Resort look book. The silhouettes range from full skirted and 50s to casual and…

One of the first photographs released from Alexander McQueen‘s Spring 2011 campaign depicts Lindsey Wixson amid a sea of butterflies. The initial image from the campaign captures the same back-to-nature rustic beauty that we admired when the collection hit the catwalk. We look forward to seeing more.
