Liz Kennedy for Farfetch Magazine

These pictures of Liz Kennedy are so chic it kills me. They are from an editorial she did for the French Magazine, Farfetch.  Everything about these photos, from the all black wardrobe, to the Parisian bob she is sporting, to the set and special effects just ooze edgy sophistication.  This is a look we haven't seen yet on Liz, and as usual you look incredible!  This is another fantastic editorial to add to your book.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Ashland in the Dior Haute Couture Show

Video from the official @Dior instagram

Last week we posted a teaser of when our girl, Ashland Wendlandt, walked in the Dior Haute Couture show, but now we have more pictures and details for all of you.  The Haute Couture shows in Paris are as high fashion as they come, and this Dior Fall 2015 Couture show did not disappoint.  It was held at the Musee Rodin, and many of the most important people in fashion were sitting front row. I can't emphasize enough what a big deal this show was!

You may remember that a few weeks ago Ashland walked in the Dior Tokyo show, and she made such an impression that she was then cast (Exclusive) in this Couture show in Paris.  Not bad for a model that we discovered in Wisconsin!  We love the backstage pictures that her mom sent us, it is always a treat to see somethings that most people aren't privy to.

Ashland, you are amazing and we are so proud of you!

Bon Voyage Ashland and Jen!

Hopefully you all remember Ashland Wendlandt, our model from Wisconsin.  Since we discovered her and launched her career she has traveled to Los Angeles, New York (multiple times), Japan, and now she is in Paris where she walked in a show for Dior! (We'll update you more about that soon) Ashland's awesome mom Jen (who is also a scout for Pulse Mgmt), has been by her side for all of these trips.  Ashland is so lucky to have not only a management team that is looking out for her best interest,e but a mother who is willing to put her own life on hold to help her daughter pursue her dreams.  Granted they are both traveling to some incredible places, but it is not without some sacrifices (including missing her son's High School Graduation).  We are so grateful not only for the parents of our models trusting us with their son/daughter's careers, but for the things they willingly give up in order to support their children.   

Bon Voyage Georgia!

Do you all remember Georgia Weeks?  Well, we have big news about this beauty.  She just signed a major contract in Paris, and is headed to France shortly.  We love when we have news like this.  It is literally life changing for our models, (and their parents) and it is so exciting. Congrats Georgia, you are living the dream! We will keep you all updated on her adventures in Paris.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Ali and Hye for Vogue Paris

For today's Major Moment Monday, we are going back to April of 2008.  Vogue Paris did an editorial on the top models in the industry and it was photographed by none other than Scott Schulman, the Sartorialist himself!  The models selected for this editorial, are still some of the biggest names in the modeling world including: Angela Lindvall, Coco Rocha, Doutzen Kroes, Natasha Poly, Raquel Zimmerman, and Sasha Pivovarova.  Not one but TWO Pulse Management discoveries were included, Ali Stephens and Hye Park. We discovered both Ali and Hye in Salt Lake City, Utah and launched their careers.  Its pretty amazing to think these two models from Utah, ended up being included in an editorial for Vogue Paris, with the top models in the entire world.  If that's not major, I don't know what is.

Karsyn's on the Move!

You all remember Karsyn don't you?  We wrote about her recently in this Major Moment Monday post.  Well Karsyn has been a busy model, and these are some images from her recent test shoots.  Our partners have been so pleased with how her photos are turning out that now she in headed for New York, Los Angeles and Paris.  Not bad for a girl from North Carolina.  Good Luck Karsyn, and we look forward to seeing your work from each of these cities, because judging from your photos lately, it will all be amazing.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Karsyn for L'Officiel Magazine

For today's MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY we are thrilled to share with you Karsyn Bartruff's editorial for L'Officiel Magazine.  L'Officiel is a French Fashion magazine, and we love seeing our North Carolina girl grace its pages.  Karsyn has been busy this year so far, especially in Asia, and we have plenty of pictures to share with you of this up and coming model, so stay tuned!

Armon for Montagut Magazine

We have been getting photos back from Armon Eastman's summer in Paris, and each time we are like little kids on Christmas morning opening the files.  The latest photos we received are from the French clothing store Montagut's upcoming look book.  The look book with Armon's pictures is not posted on the Montagut site just yet, and seeing these pictures but not the whole book is killing us.  It seems that during his time in Paris, Armon mastered the Parisian talent of looking effortlessly cool.  We'll consider that time well spent.

Armon's Gearing Up for Paris Fashion Week

Buckle up everyone because today marks the kickoff of the beginning of New York Fashion Week.  Click here to see the post we did about Fashion Week and the schedules for the various ones coming up this month.  Basically it should be called Fashion Month, because September is when fashion's elite travel all over the world to see what the top designers have created.  It is an exciting and sometimes exhausting time for all involved.  We have these models in New York ready for the shows, and we can't wait to report back to you what they have been cast in.

Now, onto Armon!  These pictures are the front and back sides of Armon's Paris Fashion Week card, and we LOVE it.  The front shows Armon the amazing model, and the backside shows all the rest of the hilarious sides of Armon's personality.  While in Paris, Armon is signed with our Partner City Model Management.  It won't be very long until we can post about what he's up to for Paris Fashion Week, so stay tuned everyone!

Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

For today's Throwback Thursday, we are not only keeping it in the Pulse Management family, we are keeping it in the Eastman family.  That cute little guy at the front of the picture is the one and only Armon Eastman!  Armon recently returned from a working in Paris, alongside another Pulse model, Carson Bruner.  He has been in pretty high demand since we signed him, making his dad Stacey Eastman (Pulse Mgmt President) proud!  Also pictured above is Alec Eastman, one of the six Eastman siblings.  Alec is currently in the Bio Chemical Engineering Program at the University of Michigan, which makes his dad just as proud!

If you are currently a Pulse Model and want to be one of our Throwback Thursday posts, please email your childhood picture to lisa@pulsemgmt.com.

Armon in Paris

We have been so busy keeping up with Stacey Eastman's adventures in New York, we need to take a minute to update you on the other Eastman making waves in the fashion industry. Armon Eastman is currently in Paris, and we can't get enough of these photos of him.  Famed French photographer Anthony Arquier took these as a test shoot, and we think they are incredible.  Keep up the good work Armon, we have a feeling these won't be the last of the amazing pictures we see out of your Paris trip.

Carson for Christian Dior

Carson Bruner is making us so proud in these behind the scenes pictures from her shoot with Dior!  If you aren't familiar with the House of Dior, please click here, so you can understand the magnitude of this shoot.  Carson has been in Paris for a couple of weeks, and so far so good! We can't wait to see the final product from this shoot, because in our opinion Carson and Dior are going to be an incredible combination.

 

How Do You Say "Lucky" in French?

One of the major perks of working in the modeling industry is being able to introduce our models to places, people and cultures that they may not otherwise be exposed to.  Two of our favorite models, Carson Bruner and Armon Eastman jetted off to Paris this week and we are loving seeing their pictures.  Pulse Mgmt President (and Armon's Dad), Stacey Eastman, accompanied these two on their trip.  Carson and Armon will be busy working while in France, but it is fun to see these pictures of them, just being teenagers in one of the world's most amazing cities.  Keep posting pictures you guys, we love seeing them!
