Raquel Zimmerman

Racquel Zimmerman by David Sims for +J

" If Modernism can still be called a period style like, say , Rococo or Victorianism , it is paradoxically inspired by the attempt to avoid all references to the past.

The modeling industry is awash with hundreds of pretty girls but it is not enough for the model to be a face.

I-phone face off between TI and Hugo

It is a hard blow when a door-person doesn't know you, doesn't get you and doesn't care. It' s harder still when as a doortrix it's your first night ruling Montana, the boite is jammed packed and then you proceed to tell Angela Lindvall, "Sorry but we are at capacite' . There iz nothing I can do. Perhaps you go to smoke a cigarette... come back in 20 minutes...30 minutes" . Welcome to Paris shade and TI sat ringside last night for the shadiest door scene in all Paris so far this season. But fear not... this shady story has a happy ending.

Proof perfect that Raquel Zimmerman is a true Brazilian girl. I think this might be what Erik meant when he talk about girls who build a bridge between high fashion and the commercial world.

Faye Dunaway gives maximum drama Eyes Of Laura Mars

I just opened a preview of a new edit that V mag sent over last night. It is a story featuring Linda Evangelista and Raquel Zimmerman referencing "Eyes Of Laura Mars", a film so 70's not only does it star Faye Dunaway, it has Barbara Streisand wailing the theme song, Helmut Newton shots standing in for the work of "Laura Mars" and cameos by Studio 54 fixtures like Sterling St. Jacques. It is a fun weekend watch and a great primer for really getting into the nuances of the V edit. Will Linda channel Dunaway for the scene where Laura has to flee down a pier, dressed in overlapping layers of wool, tweed and cashmere in a vain effort to stop a murder she just "saw" in her psychic mind. Can't wait to upload the V 52 sneak peek over at MDC tmrw.
