The Many Faces of Beauty
Out of all of the pictures that come out of fashion month, model beauty shots are some of my favorites. I love seeing models transform from one look to another under the magical wave of a brush. It's so interesting to see the how their faces take and adapt to the makeup in order to convey a designer's show concept; whether it be soft and glamorous or wild and edgy. Yet no matter how transformational the makeup is, you can always recognize your favorite model's features under it all. In addition to their long and lean bodies, models are models because they have faces that straddle the line between malleable palette and distinctive identity. Take a look below at how Freja's face embodies this notion wonderfully.

The Final Tally - New York
New York FW0910 - 12 shows total
It has been quite the exciting week, no?
It all started with Rag & Bone on Friday. Freja debuted longer hair and the return of fringe bangs that were her trademark when she first started out a few years ago.
On Saturday we had Alexander Wang. So far, Freja was two for two in terms of the big name shows. I don't know about you, but I was anxious the whole week because I kept expecting her to disappear all of a sudden like she disappeared from Milan last season.
Lucikly, on Sunday we got to see Freja four times. She had two looks at Herve Leger and two looks at Jonathan Saunders. The later show was a nice surprise as I don't think she's ever walked it before.
Monday was relatively quiet until the Marc Jacobs show that night. No surprise there as Freja's walked every Marc show since she started.
Freja made up for the calm day on Monday by walking in three shows on Tuesday. She showed up in two looks at the Diesel Black & Gold show, and she also made an appearance at Marc by Marc Jacobs, much to everyone's delight. The MbyMJ show usually has a cast comprised of lesser known girls so seeing Freja and the likes of Lily, Sasha, and Stam there was completely unanticipated. The day concluded with two runway looks at Narcisco Rodriguez.
Wednesday was completely quiet, and I thought my fears were coming to light. No Freja at Michael Kors or Proenza Schouler, both of which she's walked in the past (I think). Did she leave NY?
On Thursday we found out that the answer to that question was a resounding no. She walked in Tommy Hilfiger, Phi, Isaac Mizrahi, and Zac Posen. Her busiest day in New York! Freja was probably resting up on Wednesday knowing that she was going to be walking in four shows on Thursday. She's walked all of them in past seasons except for Isaac, so it was quite surprising to see her there--in two looks no less! And at Tommy I thought she looked particularily beautiful, looking as fresh as she did when she first hit the runways in 2005.
Today there were no Freja sightings, but it is the last day of New York Fashion Week so the girl is probably resting those tired feet and preparing for Milan. But more likely she's out dancing, partying and celebrating the end of a great week!
Freja doesn't walk in London so we get a little break before the whirlwind that is bound to be Milan and Paris. So in the meantime, what were your favorite looks in NY? Any upcoming shows you're dying to see Freja walk in? Any shows you'll be disappointed in if she doesn't?
BTW, most of the pictures are HQ so you can click on them to enlarge.

From a Different Perspective
It's always nice to see candid shots. I really do think they give you the best idea of what a model looks like in real life. No backstage pretensions, no runway sheen, no editorial stylings. Just the model in front of the camera, and the fan behind it.
This first candid was shot after the Alexander Wang show by breakfastatbarneys.blogspot.com. Here you see Freja on the left and Catherine on the right with her back to us.
This second candid was shot by FELNWE at tFS after the Herve Leger show. Just Freja, in all her normal glory.
Thank you to all the people out there that brave fashion month with fierce determination, loads of patience and cameras around their necks in order to bring all of us a glimpse of our favorite models.

I'm not sure if I should update with pictures every time they come in, or if I should just wait for the week to be over and update with one big post. If anyone feels strongly one way or another let me know in the comments.
Cheers!

First Sighting
Hooray! Starting off fashion month with an appearance at Rag and Bone! And it looks like Freja is growing her hair out and she has bangs again. I think its at the odd in between length right now so it will be interesting to see how the stylists at shows deal with it. As much as I love her with short hair, I'm quite excited at the prospect of seeing Freja looking like this again in the near future:
:) These next few weeks are going to be exciting so hold on!
