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.

CURRENT VIEWING: EYES OF LAURA MARS: SONY PICTURES

I just opened a preview of a new edit that V mag sent over last night. Its 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. Its 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.

WHO's On First?

There's an interesting showdown brewing over at MDC. General agreement among the clients and contacts feeding us info at the day job is Gemma Ward has pretty much transcended her No 1 slot on the Top 50 since she now behaves in that iconic way of working at her leisure. For that, you can't blame a girl who's been treading the mills from age 15 ! The big Q is who inherits her spot as No 1? My phones are lighting up with advocates for two frontrunners, IMG's artistic Russian Sasha Pivovora and the eternal Brazilian must-have, Raquel Zimmerman. Right now it is a deadlock so it would be fun to get some feedback from the commited modelwatchers out there. Here are the relative pros and cons of our two contenders.

ARGUMENTS FOR RAQUEL:
1. The girl, after working tirelessly for the last 7 years deserves No 1 by merit of her track record , her proven longevity and her body of work. In other words Raquel's 7 years beats Sasha's 3.
2.As a physical presence in both runway shows and in photo-shoots, Raquel looms as the better model in terms of emotional range, body type and editorial versatility.
3.Raquel connects to the entire idea of fashion, is a great backstage politician and by stint of her warm and charismatic personality has kept a wide range of clients , from Vogue to Fendi to Chloe to Valentino (SS08 if she's in the final edit) in the past 5 years

ARGUMENTS AGAINST RAQUEL:
