My fave model, Stella Tennant. She's in her 30s at this point, with a couple of kids, but I've noticed her on the runways and in editorials recently. I've loved her ever since I saw her at the Dior show when I was an intern there. I think she's around 6' tall. Androgynous but beautiful!
I'm not sure how he does it, but there's something about Ghesquiere's work that elicits a visceral reaction for me. The clothes and accessories are probably a little bit over the top for most people, but for me they are a perfect balance between craftsmanship, artistry, and wearability. He's always pushing the envelope and the clothes always feel fresh and new, but rarely (to me at least) do they feel costumey. I also enjoy that they give the wearer a feeling of power and strength while still feeling feminine. The Balenciaga girl isn't a girly wallflower.
I'm not there yet, but his work is definitely an inspiration to me.
