**model of the moment: daphne groeneveld

When it comes to models on the runway, I try to ignore famous faces and focus on the clothes. It helps me to objectively decide if I like a collection, and besides, how many times do I need to see Karlie Kloss or Chanel Iman in yet another amazing outfit? I already know they're going to look great.
This past season only a couple of new faces stood out to me, and I was excited to see 16-year-old model Daphne Groeneveld walking in nearly every show. Her look, a mix of weird and gorgeous, combined with her bleach-blonde hair (which reminds me of another favorite, Abbey Lee) made it impossible for me to ignore her, no matter how fantastic the accompanying apparel.
Daphne Groeneveld only started modeling about a year ago, but she's already landed countless major shows and even appeared on the cover of French Vogue with the legendary Tom Ford. As for personal style, Daphne Groeneveld claims that she does not have a distinct or specific look, but rather knows what she likes and wears it. But then again, she's only 16... and while girls her age strive to achieve the coveted "model-off-duty" look, Daphne's doing the real thing.
On the runway...
Daphne opened for Calvin Klein's Spring/Summer 2011 collection...

She walked in 40 different shows during the Fall/Winter 2011 season...
Opening at Calvin Klein...

Opening at Altuzarra (this is my favorite)...

Opening at Vera Wang...

At Alexander Wang...

At Miu Miu...

At Pucci...

At Lanvin...

At Chanel...

At Prada...

This self-proclaimed girly-girl, who played with dolls and danced ballet as a child, looks like a living doll herself. She's stunning in Spring/Summer 2011 Dior Haute Couture...
