SWEDISH MODELS FRIDA GUSTAVSSON

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today we’re traveling to Sweden to present one of the youngest and most promising Swedish models, Frida Gustavsson. Despite her youth, Frida Gustavsson is one of the most sought-after Swedish models and a regular face in the fashion shows of the most renowned fashion labels in today’s time. Although her modeling career has just started, Frida has already walked for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Carolina Herrera, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren or Versace, appeared in fashion magazines such as Elle, Numéro, and Vogue and starred in ad campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Jill Stuart, and Anna Sui amongst others. Dear readers, let me introduce you Swedish model Frida Gustavsson. Here you are Frida.

Frida Gustavsson was born in the Swedish capital, Stockholm on June 6, 1993. Her modeling career started in 2008 when Frida began modeling in her country of origin. That same year, the Swedish model moved to Japan in an attempt to boost her rising career and gain experience and international recognition. Said and done. The following year Frida Gustavsson signed for IMG modeling agency laying the foundations for a promising career in the fashion world. Already in 2009, Frida opened Valentino’s Fall Winter fashion show in Paris and walked for Lebanese designer Elie Saab. Have a look at Frida’s legs in the second picture. They are endless….

In September 2009, the Swedish model appeared in an editorial for “Vogue” Italy dedicated to Valentino’s couture collection, opened Richard Chai’s Spring Summer fashion show in New York and walked for BCBG Max Azria, Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Ralph Lauren. Already in September, Frida opened Luella, Pringle of Scotland, Gianfranco Ferre and Les Copains’ Spring fashion shows in London and Paris and closed Just Cavalli and Gareth Pugh’s Spring ones in Milan and Paris. Besides, websites models.com and style.com included her amongst the ten most promising newcomers of the year and in October the Swedish model appeared in an editorial of “L’Officiel” France and in a spread of “Crash” magazine. This is what I would consider as having a tight agenda.

Let’s go on talking about 2010. As early as in January, Frida was photographed by Mario Sorrenti for Jill Stuart’s Spring campaign, appeared in editorials for both “Vogue” Italy and “W” magazines and walked in Paris for Armani Privé, Elie Saab, Christian Dior and Chanel’s Spring Summer couture fashion shows. In February, the Swedish model starred in an editorial for “Numero”, opened Just Cavalli, Costume National, and Sophia Kokosalaki’s Fall Winter fashion shows in Milan and Paris and closed Marc by Marc Jacobs, Etro, and Just Cavalli’s. During the following months, Frida Gustavsson became a regular face for fashion magazines appearing on the cover of “Vogue” Germany (March), in a beauty editorial of “Vogue” Japan (April), the Spring issue of “Another Magazine”, and in editorials for both “Vogue” Japan and “Numero” (June).

To finish the year and during the months of October, November, and December, Frida returned to printed magazines appearing in editorials for “Vogue”, “Vogue” France and “Vogue” Great Britain. As you will probably have noticed, 2010 was another exhausting year for the Swedish stunner. That year she was the fourth most demanded model for the Spring Summer campaign only behind Polish and French models Kasia Struss and Constance Jablonski.

Frida started 2011 opening Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Summer couture show in Paris and walking for Armani Privé, Chanel, Valentino, and Christian Dior. In addition, she extended her contract with Anna Sui cosmetics, was photographed by Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino for a “Vogue” editorial and won the award given by “Elle” to distinguish the best Swedish model of the year. Out of curiosity we’ll say that Frida Gustavsson studies at the Swedish branch of the Central St. Martins College of Art & Design and that she hopes to become a fashion stylist specialized in pattern and produce design.
