Dolce's Girls

Stefano Gabbana and Dolce Domenico opt for multiple girl casts for their D&G and Dolce Gabbana Fall/Winter 2011 campaigns. Super photographer Mario Testino shoots an eclectic mix of new faces for D&G's vibrant and youth-oriented campaign starring Tao Okamoto, Aiste Kliveckaite, Marique Schimmel and Melodie Monrose. Shot in a New York subway tunnel, the diversity of the cast of models aptly refects New York's populace.

Continuing on its Fall/Winter 2011 androgynous boy meets girl theme, Dolce Gabbana's campaign lensed by Steven Klein, features Isabeli Fontana, Jac Jagaciak, Liu Wen, Maryna Linchuk, Constance Jablonski and Kate King alternately dressed as men and women. Wen, King and Jagaciak look super cute posing tomboyishly in pants, suspender belts, singlets and bowler hats.

Class of 2011

V Spain highlights the newest faces in modelling for its June 2011 feature entitled "Back to School." Codie Young, Maud Welzen, Kate King, Ruby Aldridge and Marique Schimmel pose for Terry Tsiolis and demonstrate why they are currently under the radar of the most influential casting directors, photographers and magazine editors. Young, Welzen, Schimmel, King et al. eclipsed the competition at the recent Fall/Winter 2011 shows and are only just beginning to convert that exposure into real editorial and campaign traction. Schimmel appears in the latest D&G campaign shot by Mario Testino, and King features alongside established models Liu Wen, Isabeli Fontana and Constance Jablonski in the Dolce Gabbana Campaign lensed by Steven Klein.

Fall/Winter 2011 New Faces Kate King

Canadian model Kate King was tipped by top casting agent Anita Bitton in the lead up to the Fall/Winter 2011 collections as one of the faces to watch. Seventeen year old King has more than lived up to industry expectations by amassing a list of blue chip shows including Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim, Ports 1961, Diane Von Furstenburg, Cushnie et Ochs, Tommy Hilfiger, Prada and Emilio Pucci. Standing at 178 cm in height, King has a look that is exotic and modern. Of all the new models, King stands out to me the most with her long, languid limbs and a face that is mesmerisingly beautiful and relevant to modelling's current disposition toward distinctive faces. Represented by Elite Models in New York, King possesses a grace, presence and beauty that is reminiscent of Supermodel Christy Turlington.
