Don't Call It a Comeback

Bette Franke

Bette Franke come onto the scene in 2005 as a fresh faced new comer and walked an impressive amount of shows and got covetable print work. As time went on she was doing less and less work and was almost forgotten. Then, this season Bette came back in full force walking in a staggering 54 shows. She opened for Antonio Berardi, Akris, Barbara Bui, and most notably Valentino (who smells a campaign?). Her long legs, pouty lips, round face, and bright blue eyes may have made her a casting directors darling, but her ambition has clearly made her the it girl of the season and thee one to watch come spring campaign time.

Model of The Moment

Name: Miranda Kerr

Age: 28

Nationality: Australian

Height: 5'9

Measurements: 32-24-34

Spring 2012 Shows: Christian Dior, Loewe, John Galliano, Lanvin, Chanel, Viktor & Rolf, Stella McCartney

Love it, or hate it, the Victoria's Secret girls are invading high fashion. Miranda, along with Candice Swanepoel, Izabel Goulart, Doutzen Kroes, Karolina Kurkova, and Gisele Bündchen took the Spring 2012 shows by storm. However, the one who's star shined the brightest was Miranda. The married 28 year old mother of one managed to stomp the runways of some of the most exclusive and coveted shows, showing her high fashion chops. When not working it on the runway, she was showing off her impeccable street style with husband Orlando Bloom. Watch out for Miss. Kerr. I have a feeling she might be snapping up more than a few campaigns and covers this coming season (and I'm not talking about lingerie).
