You Can't Take the Minnesota out of the Girl!

Liz Kennedy, who is currently in Tokyo with her BFF Olivia Hamilton (more on that later), posted some pictures recently that made us smile.  We found Liz in Minnesota, and then developed and launched her modeling career.  Liz has walked runways around the world, and been in editorials in some of the biggest fashion magazines (as detailed here), and like I mentioned, she is currently in Japan working.  Sometimes its easy to forget that she is a high schooler who likes the outdoors and hanging out with her family and friends.

We absolutely loved these pictures of her with her family in Minnesota, sporting camo and Crocs!  I don't know if I've ever seen someone looks as comfortable and confident in Dolce and Gabbana as she is wearing head to toe camouflage!  We love you Liz, not just because your an incredible model, but because you are one of our favorite teenagers.

Fashion News Live Interview and Inside Amato Premiere

Rocco Leo Gaglioti and Stacey Eastman at the film premiere

Last night some members of the Pulse Management team were able to attend the New York City premiere of the movie Inside Amato by Furne One, and the Art Hearts Fashion Week Gala after it.  If you remember we, we partnered with Fashion News Live for fashion week coverage, and hopefully you have been checking out their videos here.

Fashion News Live founder, Rocco Leo Gaglioti, directed the film and we loved being able to see his passion for the industry come through on the screen.  Stacey was invited to do an interview on the red carpet, and as soon as we get the footage we will post it for you all to see.

We spend so much time working on managing and finding out models, it was such a treat to go out for a night with some of our Pulse Management team members, who at this point are pretty much family!

NYFW: Sophia Skloss for Rodarte

Our model Sophia Skloss is having an incredible week.  Yesterday she walked the runway at the Rodarte Spring 2016 show, which over the past decade has turned into one of the most anticipated runways of the season.  We had the pleasure of having dinner with Sophia and her mom Karin tonight, and hearing her tell all of us about her castings, and racing from one runway to the next.  She mentioned that at this show Anna Wintour came up to her to inspect her Rodarte ensemble.  We couldn't get over the fact that this High School student that we discovered in Oregon, was sitting across from us telling us about walking the runways and being inspected by Anna Wintour herself!  Sophia is really coming into her own as a model and a young adult, and we are so proud of her. 

We have a lot more to update you about NYFW, but we will have to save that for another day because we have to go try to catch Sophia's next show!

NYFW: Demarchalier Exhibit Draws Top Models

Grace Coddington and Patrick Demarchalier

A couple of days ago, Christie's (the famous Auction house) hosted a party to preview photographer Patrick Demarchalier's new exhibit.  The fete drew a crowd that can be described as A-list without any hyperbole.  When you have Demarchalier himself, along with Grace Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Coco Rocha, Martha Hunt, and not one but TWO Pulse models in the room, it is a HUGE deal.  To prove that we aren't the only ones who think this is noteworthy, you can check out Vogue's write up of the party here.

Pulse Management discovered both Hannah Holman and Tori Praver in their respective hometowns, and then launched their careers, and took them out of obscurity onto their own covers of Vogue.  To see them celebrating a photographer like Demarchalier with their peers is awesome to us, because it just shows how far they have come since we found them. You can see more photos from the party here.

Major Moment Monday: Sophia Skloss for Yigal Azrouel

Happy Monday everyone!  Fresh of off the NYFW catwalk is a pic of our model Sophia Skloss, stomping for the Yigal Azrouel Spring 2016 RTW show.  Sophia looks fresh-faced in the best way, and we love the look of that dress with her willowy frame. Pulse Management models are no stranger to the Yigal Azrouel, last February our model Liz Kennedy walked in their show.  We posted about it here, just in case you missed it.

Congrats on another great show Sophia, we can't wait to see what else Fashion Week has in store for you!
