I love the cyclical time in fashion when unique and unusual models are hot once again. Whilst Victoria Secret shows and the prevalence of the Amazonians will always remain, every so often a Gemma Ward or Hanne Gaby Odiele proves that models don’t always have to conform to a prototype.
I adore Lindasy Wixson. Judging by her strong presence in the S/S 2011 runway shows, walking for the likes of Versace, Alexander McQueen and Chanel, designers are swooning too.
American born Wixson has an angelic disposition, with exaggerated features sitting disproportionately on her alluring face. What is unmistakably different about this model is her plump lips, less then perfect gapped teeth and profound dimples. Almost cartoon-like, she has a presence on the catwalk, which is both enchanting and versatile. Lindsey can simultaneously play a high-end vixen for Versace, a 1920’s siren for Galliano or a fresh faced, glamour for Oscar de la Renta.
She has the girl next-door doll like appearance of Miranda Kerr, with the bite and edginess of a Lara Stone. Surely that’s a winning combo.
