Happy Birthday to Marc Jacobs!

As I hopped online to day it came to my attention that it is the birthday of the one and only, Marc Jacobs.  As a fashion lover, it is my duty to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Not only is Marc Jacobs one of the most talented fashion designers in the game right now, he is a fellow former Parsons student, so I feel like I have an extra kinship with him.

Marc Jacobs has helped bring legitimacy back to American fashion design, and his time at the helm of Louis Vuitton proved to even the most discerning fashionista that an American viewpoint and designer was just as good as his french counterpoints.

A few of our models have worked for Marc Jacobs throughout the years and each time, it has been a privilege to see our models working with the best of the best.  Hannah Holman was even cast solo in the first Daisy fragrance ads, which was huge for her career.

We wouldn't be surprised if few models from our latest crop of standouts are cast for work with Marc Jacobs soon, because right now we have the most promising group we have had in a long time.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hye Park's Incredible Fashion Week

Rodarte 

Today's Major Moment Monday is from the Spring 2007 Fashion Shows.  Pulse Management discovery Hye Rim Park, put some major mileage on her stilettos walking down the runways.  She dominated the tents in New York and then went on to walk in the major shows in London, Milan, and Paris.  As you scroll through these photos you will see that she made an appearance in almost all of the top designers shows, and proved that your show wasn't a major one if you didn't have Hye walking down your runway.  Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Karl Lagerfeld, Rodarte, Louis Vuitton, and Oscar De La Renta are just a few of the runways she walked down.  If you consider the fact that these shows are within an hour of each other sometimes, you can start to imagine exactly how busy Hye was during these fashion weeks.  It's no wonder Andre Leon Talley said that Hye was his favorite model, he had plenty of times to see her working to solidify that opinion.

Beautiful Birthday Girls!

Two of our models have celebrated birthdays recently, and we can't let anymore time pass by without wishing them a very happy birthday!

We discovered Carson Bruner in her native California, and she has been all over the world since we launched her career.  Carson was a finalist in the Elite Model Look competition, and she has since worked for companies like Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Christian Dior to name a few.  Happy birthday Carson, we can't wait to see where this next year takes you!

Charlee Pilon celebrated her birthday last week, and we can't say enough good things about this girl.  We waited for her to finish high school before truly starting her in the industry, and she was worth the wait! Charlee has spent many of her months since graduating in New York and she is taking the fashion world by storm, click here to see some of her accomplishments.  The best is yet to come for this beauty and we are pleased as punch to be a part of your journey!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Marc Jacobs

For today's Major Moment Monday, we are going back 4 years to the S/S 2010 Marc by Marc Jacobs ad campaign starring none other than Pulse Management discovery, Hannah Holman.  You fashion lovers out there will remember this collection of Marc's with the oversized hair accessories (Madonna wore one to the Met Ball).  This was an exciting time in Hannah's career because after a few years of waiting, and of us hearing she was too short to ever book a high fashion job, our perseverance paid off and Hannah was suddenly all over the fashion scene.  Marc Jacobs loved Hannah, and decided to use her as the model for the launch of his Daisy perfume in 2011.  In the fashion world, once Marc Jacobs gives his seal of approval, you are pretty much golden.  Soon Hannah was walking runways for Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel), modeling for Miu Miu and she was the first campaign model ever for Alexander Wang.  Not too bad for a girl from Delta, Utah, who people told us would never work!

Carson Spotted on Marc Jacobs' Instagram

As far as designers go, there are few as big as Marc Jacobs.  We were ecstatic when we saw our girl Carson Bruner on his international instagram.  Carson is showing a look from his Pre-Fall 2014 Collection and both she and the clothes look amazing! Congrats Carson, we know this isn't your first time working for Marc Jacobs, and we are sure this won't be your last time!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman's Louis Vuitton Feature

Today's MMM is a recent one, it was published in Vogue Ukraine in September 2013.  Anytime our models are featured in a Vogue publication it is a big deal, let alone in a Louis Vuitton feature!  Louis Vuitton is one of the most influential and popular fashion designers of the past century, and the collection modeled in this feature is one of the last ones created when Marc Jacobs was at the helm of the French fashion house.  The feature was photographed by famed fashion photographer Elizaveta Porodina, and the images are simply beautiful.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Marc Jacobs

For today's MMM, we are going back to when our girl, Hannah Holman, landed this huge advertisement, Marc Jacob's fragrance Daisy Eau So Fresh.  In the world of fashion, there are few names bigger than Marc Jacobs.  Whether it is his eponymous line, Marc by Marc or the work he did while at the helm at Louis Vuitton, he is arguably the best American designer today.  (I may be partial to him because we both attended Parsons, but that is beside the point...)  Hannah was photographed by Juergen Teller for this ad that ran in most major fashion magazines.  Hannah grew up in rural Utah, and that came in handy on this shoot as she detailed in this article for Teen Vogue.  These days Hannah is still busy modeling and we are so proud that we are the ones who introduced this beauty to the world's fashion forum.

Happy Happy Birthday to our dear Carson Bruner! How did she spend her last day as a 16 year old? At a photo shoot for the incomparable Marc Jacobs in New York City! We are so proud of Carson and everything she has accomplished since we scouted her and launched her modeling career.  This girl has been all over the world in the past year, and her travels are just starting.  We hope you have a wonderful birthday, Carson.  We sure love you!
