Meet Me In Rio with Hannah Holman

I don't know how the weather is where you are, but where I'm sitting in Southern California it is HOT!  These summer days remind me of when Hannah Holman was in the Bershka SS 14 Ad Campaign, and looking through these pictures all I want to be doing is spending time on a beach in Rio! We scouted Hannah in a small town in Utah, but we love how she fits right in hanging on the beaches in Brazil.  Who knows if Hannah would have ever had a chance to travel to Rio, and all of the other incredible places she has been if she never started modeling.  We are glad that we were able to launch Hannah's career, and help her find an incredible way to travel the world.  We are just happy we get to see pictures from all of her journeys.

TBT: Nichole Martinez, Then and Now

It's been a while since our last Throwback Thursday post, and I don't know about you but I've missed them.  There is something about the nostalgia combined with the instant gratification of seeing how far a model has come that I love.  For instance the above picture of Nichole Martinez is from her first photo shoot with us.  Back in 2011 our scout Lacey found Nichole in Colorado, and then Nichole had a test shoot and from it we made her first comp card.  Below you can see Nichole's comp card from the most recent NYFW, last February.  Since last summer Nichole has been featured on Models.com, and twice in WWD.  We are looking forward to seeing what else Nichole accomplishes during her career, and we will continue to keep you posted on this beauty.

New Editorial for Liz Kennedy

We have always though that Liz Kennedy looks pretty luminous, so the title of one of her newer editorials, "Everything is Illuminated" is very fitting.  This picture was featured in On the Rocks Magazine, and was photographed by Charlotte Wales.  Wales has photographed editorials for Vogue, W Magazine, and V Magazine amongst many others, so we were thrilled that our model Liz had the opportunity to be in a photo shoot with her.

Right now Liz is back in her hometown in Minnesota, enjoying a little bit of a summer break and hanging out with her friends.  We discover our models all over the place, so we like to see them getting back to their normal lives and being regular teenagers every once in awhile. We try to help them stay as balanced as possible. So enjoy it Liz because come September, you will be needed back on the runways in NYC! 

The Many Faces of Kristina Jordan

Have you ever had that feeling where you know something exciting is going to happen, and you just can't wait for it?  Thats kind of how we feel about our model Kristina Jordan.  As I look through this series of photos of her, I know that this model has the potential for an incredible career and I'm so excited to see all of the things she accomplishes.  She recently returned home from working in New York, which we documented here and here.  It is going to be exciting to be a part of her developing career, and don't worry we will keep you all posted on everything she accomplishes!  In the meantime enjoy this stunning series of photos from one of her test shoots.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Georgia and Hazel for Teen Vogue

slideshow reposted from Teen Vogue

Each week on the Teen Vogue Instagram they post a slideshow called #modelmonday, where they share the faces of some new up and coming models.  Last Monday, TWO of our models were featured.  Georgia Weeks and Hazel Eakman's photos were included.  We are thrilled that out of nine models shown last week, two of them were discovered by us and are part of our Pulse Management team!  We have always seen great potential in these two models, and its amazing to see that Teen Vogue does too.

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!

Olivia Hamilton, Model Student

Readers of our blog know that our model Olivia Hamilton has had a whirlwind year.  She is from Colorado, but modeling takes her to New York, Europe, and Asia so she really is all over the place.  We recently discovered that while Olivia has been traveling all over, she has been not only keeping up with her school work, she made the honor roll!  It is of the utmost importance that our models keep up on their school work, and Olivia making the Honor Roll goes to show that it is not only possible to keep up, a model can excel at her studies while working.  Olivia is a model, ballerina, scholar, and more and we are so proud of her.

New Editorial for Natalie Keyser

One of the exciting (and frustrating) things about modeling is sometimes you never know when you are going to get pictures back, or when you will stumble on pictures from a shoot you were in.  Natalie Keyser recently found these pictures from an editorial she shot for a Mexican fashion magazine called Elfes Magazine.  Natalie spent some time working in Mexico City, and we were continually impressed by the quality of the editorials she was in during her time there.  

Pulse Girls Taking Over NYC, Part II

We posted THIS last week about some of our newer models in New York City.  Andrea Steele, Kristina Jordan, Georgia Weeks, and Hazel Eakman are becoming fast friends while learning about life in the modeling world and in NYC.  Both are pretty crazy places, so we love that they have each other! This squad of beauties are some of the most promising models we have ever represented and we can't wait to see what we can accomplish with them.  Buckle up everyone, it's going to be insanely exciting to watch each of their careers unfold.

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.  

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Carson Bruner for Vogue Paris
