Recap of Sophia Skloss in the European Shows

Fresh off of a whirlwind New York Fashion Week (that we posted about here), our model Sophia Skloss hopped on a plane to Europe to be in the shows there too.  Here is a recap of the shows that Sophia walked in while she was in Europe.  Also, please keep in mind that these fashion shows are the top designers in Europe, and there are no bigger runway shows than those during the show season in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.  So each picture and show listed here is a major accomplishment for any model, let alone one model!

Olivia for Isola Marras F/W 2015

As summer hits us, I decided that I am going to use Olivia Hamilton's fresh-faced look from the Isola Marras fashion show as beauty inspiration.  Olivia's picture from this show has been posted in multiple places as a close up look of her hair and make up and we can see why, she is flawless! This fashion show was in February during Milan Fashion Week.  This runway set was one of the more creative ones I saw over Fashion Week, and we think that Olivia looks like a seasoned pro walking down it.  

MFW: Liz Kennedy for Les Copains

I was just looking through some pictures on style.com for some fashion inspiration and look who I stumbled upon,  our model, Liz Kennedy, in the Les Copains Fall 2015 Ready to Wear fashion show.  The show took place in Milan in February during Milan Fashion Week, the same week she walked the runway for Dolce and Gabbana.  Right now Liz is back in Minnesota enjoying some time with her family and friends.  I hope she's resting up because as soon as the fashion world gets done with their vacations Liz is going to be a very busy model again.

MFW: Olivia for Ter et Bantine

We are looking at photos from Milan Fashion Week, and we keep coming back to this beauty of Olivia Hamilton in the Ter et Bantine Show.  This show was a big one at Milan Fashion Week because it was the first time designer Kostas Murkudis was at the helm of the brand.  Murkudis has worked with Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, and Pringle, but this was his debut being at the head of the label, and the show and collection were amazing. This dress that our Olivia wore down the runway, looks almost fluid-like on her beautiful ballerina frame.  We love seeing our models on the runway, especially when they are as highly anticipated as this one.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz and Sophia Living the Dream!

Hopefully you all saw our posts about Liz Kennedy walking the Dolce and Gabbana runway, and Sophia Skloss in the Burberry show?  Not only are these models walking the biggest runways in the world wearing the designers' latest lines, they are also getting gifts from the designers.  Liz Kennedy's Dolce and Gabbana handbag is sure to be the envy of everyone who sees it!  Sophia Skloss was not only cast exclusively for Burberry's London Fashion week show, they gifted her a scarf with her initials embroidered on it.  Keep in mind these are regular teenage girls we scouted in their hometowns, and now they are walking for and wearing the latest designers from around the world! 

"Viva la Mamma"

A lot has been said about the F/W 2015 Dolce and Gabbana show.  We wrote THIS post about it a few days ago.  While Dolce and Gabbana has received some negative press about the show, we are still both appreciative and celebrating the designers ode to motherhood.  Not only did they send models with their children (clad in Dolce and Gabbana, naturally), they also had Italian supermodel Bianca Balti walk the runway while she was six months pregnant.  Bianca looked as beautiful and radiant as ever, and we are so glad that Dolce and Gabbana cast her in the show.

Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, said the following about the show:

"Pulse Mgmt applauds this ode to women, for the girls, the female, mommies, and especially my own WIFE Shayna Jones Eastman, for my own mom Sharry Eastman and my precious daughters Lily and Vienna Eastman. Lastly to the many moms and precious daughters whom I call clients. Without all of you the world would cease to exist! In many ways would not be worth living if it were not for women, mothers, the female, lil girls who grow up to be women/mommies are quite literally humanities future. Not to mention the FASHION WORLD. Thank God for "The Woman " Much love, reverence and respect."

We appreciate all of the women that we work with and that are in our families.  It is refreshing to see them celebrated in the fashion world.

MFW: Olivia for Hogan

Olivia Hamilton is exceeding all expectations we had for her debut fashion week.  She conquered New York, London, and now she is making us proud in Milan.  These pictures are from the Hogan Women's Fall/Winter 2015 Presentation.  We especially love the backstage selfie!  Olivia, you look amazing (as usual), and you are representing Pulse so well. We can't wait to see what she books next.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz for Dolce and Gabbana

The entire fashion world is talking about Dolce and Gabbana's ode to motherhood at their Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear fashion show in Milan.  The designers were not only inspired by motherhood, in the finale they had some of their models who are mothers walk the runways with their offspring in tow.  It was truly a beautiful and unprecedented moment in fashion history.  Our very own Liz Kennedy walked the Dolce and Gabbana runway, and we are proud of her not only for booking such a major designer's show during Milan Fashion Week, but for being a part of a show that embraced such an amazing part of womanhood. If you could see me writing this, you would also see me giving this show a standing ovation from our living room.
