All I want for Christmas…

…is a smile on everybody’s face. It has to be a perfect smile, you have to laugh with your eyes first, just to know it’s a reflection of a moment of true joy and wistfull happiness. I love to see models smiling on catwalks and in advertising campaigns. And Freja looks so great in these photos, totally transformed, I almost see her giggling in front of the camera and stopping from jumping up and down just for a second for a perfect shot of Patrick Demarchelier. Why don’t models smile more often? Modelling isn’t all glooming sultriness. I do want to see models wearing the clothes, not the other way around, and I want to see them smiling, because if you look through Vogue archives you can see that they know how to do it with all their hearts. And isn’t it better for business too? I’m currently coveting Harry Winston jewelry… See? (lol)

    Wow, I love these photos! She looks so different! Before every show there should be a big banner backstage to tell them they have to smile before stepping on the stage.

    I’m so used to seeing Freja not smiling and this is such a big difference in the way she looks! I hope more models smiles in the ads too! xoxoxoo

    We aren’t that used anymore with the models smilling on the catwalk! I for one believe this is the way it should, making the public see how happy you are wearing those clothes. Very good subject and for sure we can open a big discusion about the subject. I think many are interested to see how the fashion world developed into those scary creatures walking at these shows

    I like when the models smile.. makes them more relatable. Although, I’d be smiling too, wearing all those jewels!! The second pic is my favorite!
