Kolfinna Kristofersdottir

Iceland, with its tongue-twisting names (remember Eyjafjallajökull?), is leaving us speechless once again. Kolfinna Kristofersdottir has been on every casting director's radar since her Marc Jacobs exclusive at the fall '12 shows, her first season. She then opened and closed Christopher Kane in London before killing it in Milan, walking for Prada, Versace, Fendi, Missoni, and Bottega Veneta.

 

Kolfinna's pixieish features have also earned her a few high-profile international Vogue castings, including April's Prom Night editorial in Vogue Italia, shot by Steven Meisel, and a shoot in Vogue Germany's May issue. A cross between Bjork and Karlie Kloss, she's clearly made to be seen.

Balenciaga Spring Ads 2012

A possible throwback to Patti Smith's starving years as a young musician holed up in flea bag motels, Balenciaga triumphantly channels an era of junkie and rocker chic fashion, complete with the apartment clutter that comes with missed periods and heroin overdoses.

The Balenciaga spring campaign was shot by photographer Steven Meisel with models Laura Kampman, Rosie Tapner, Juliane Gruner and Kirstin Liljegren.
