Liz, Olivia, and a Whole Lot of Awesome

This picture of Liz Kennedy and Olivia Hamilton is like the gift that keeps on giving.  First we liked it because it is a great backstage photo of when these two walked in the Dennis Basso show during February's NYFW.  The when we saw Liz's instagram caption with it, that she missed her best friend, it made us so happy!  We love when our models are friends with each other, and when they can support each other's successes shows not only true friendship, but also maturity on their part.  

Then we saw that Liz wrote that Cece Drake (actress Vanessa Shaw's character from Pretty Little Liars) is in the background of this pic, it just made the picture that much better.  If anyone here watches Pretty Little Liars, you know what a cult following it has.

Just when we thought we have uncovered all of the awesome layers in this picture, we looked in the comments of Liz's post, and guess who commented? Dennis Basso, the designer of the fashion show! So not only do we love this picture of our beautiful besties, the designer of the show that they walked in together also liked the picture.  It doesn't get much cooler than that! 

Gia Featured in "Meet the Muse"

Have you all seen the feature Meet the Muse on High Snobiety?  This week they featured our model, Gia Whited, click here to see it.  We always love seeing our models' personalities come through, and when they are interviewed it makes it even better! Gia's pictures for the feature look effortlessly cool, as always, but we think her interview answers are even better.  Way to represent Pulse Gia, you are definitely one of our favorite muses.

More from Ashland for Dior

We are hoping you saw our post yesterday about our model Ashland Wendlandt walking in the Dior show in Tokyo.  We have a couple new pictures for you that we had to share.  Also, news stories about the show were popping up everywhere yesterday.  The fact that Rihanna was in attendance and it was her first event as the guest of honor was particularly noteworthy.  Check out this story from WWD, and this one from Style.com (two of the biggest publications in fashion). This show is hopefully going to lead to some big things for Ashland, and as soon as we can share details with you, you better believe we will.

Ashland, Rihanna, and some of the other models after the show

Yesterday our model Ashland had quite an exciting day.  She walked in the Dior show in Tokyo, which any fashion lover will know is huge.  There aren't many fashion brands as iconic as Dior, and Ashland now has walking down their runway under her belt. After the show Ashland got the pleasure to meet Rihanna, who is currently starring in a Dior campaign. Ashland who we discovered at a concert, went from being a normal Wisconsin teenager to walking the runway in Japan and hanging out with Rihanna.  We are so proud of you Ashland, and we know there are exciting things ahead for you.  This is just the beginning!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz Kennedy for KTZ

During February's NYFW, the famous (or infamous) designer Marjan Pejoski of KTZ made his debut.  KTZ has been showing at London Fashion Week previously, but this year he decided to show in New York.  Pulse Management model Liz Kennedy walked in the show, and I have to say her look is one of the most memorable from the show.  We are getting excited for fashion week in September, it will be upon us before we know it.  We have a group of models that we are readying for NYFW this fall, and we think it is going to be our biggest fashion week yet!
