by Verena von Pfetten | 10:15 am, April 20th, 2011

Most models have really long legs. This is a fact, nay, requirement of the job. So when a model talks about having mile-long legs, you kind of want to roll your eyes and ask if she has two arms, a nose, and a belly button, too. But in Natalie Keyser’s case, the 18-year-old model featured in today’s edition of WWD’s Model Call, her legs are so long, they don’t even need to be photoshopped! No, really! Her words, not ours.

Is The Asian Models Trend Just A Trend?

by Justin Fenner | 12:47 pm, January 26th, 2011

It’s been a really good few days for Asian fashion models. First Louis Vuitton cast Taiwanese-Canadian actor Godfrey Gao for its spring campaign, then a gorgeous young Filipina named Danica Magpantay won the Ford Supermodel of the Year competition. And earlier today, Riccardo Tisci showed his couture collection for Givenchy with a group comprised of entirely Asian models.
