A Career in Pics

Her feline presence, strong and slender, and her consistent and hard-working career have made her a reference for the fashion industry and other models. She continues to work as the first day appearing in campaigns for brands such as Hugo, Celine and Michael Kors.

Here comes the plot twist: in 2004, Carmen Kass takes a temporary break from her modelling career to run as an Estonian representative in the European Parliament and to shoot the film “Set Point”. 

Carmen Kass can’t stop; in 2003, she is also the image of Gucci in a controversial campaign.

And while the rest of humanity was living an aesthetically questionable 2000s, she became the face of Chanel, made a cameo in Zoolander (playing herself), appeared in the also questionable Pirelli calendar and starred in campaigns for Michael Kors, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent and Tommy Hilfiger.

With the turn of the century comes the image of Kass that sticks with us and makes her a golden goddess: her campaign for Dior's J'adore perfume. 2000 is Carmen's year; her success is corroborated by the VH1/Vogue award for the best model of the year. A golden dream.

1999 became a pivotal year for Carmen Kass; it was on this date that she was chosen to close a Dior fashion show. She was 21 years old and was about to make a definitive leap to stardom.

A year later, Kass's image becomes international: she poses for Vogue USA, appears on the cover, and does so in a white Ralph Lauren bikini. She also starred in her first campaign for Versace. An icon of elegance and charisma began to take shape.

Born in 1978 in Estonia, Carmen Kass is said to be "more than a model" because she is also a renowned chess player and president of her country's national league. She rose to fame in 1998 when she made her first Chloé advertising campaign and has since become part of the subsequent and equally successful generation of supermodels. 

Laura Ponte is once again everywhere. She has worked internationally for Phoebe Philo, Loewe, and Lemaire, and has been captured by the lenses of David Sims and Johnny Dufort for W Magazine and Print, styled by Lotta Volkova. Her timeless presence and unmistakable gaze are not just back—they’re redefining what it means to return.

Laura took a step back from fashion’s spotlight to launch a more intimate, bespoke project: designing wedding dresses under commission. Her focus wasn’t on the fashion itself but on revealing beauty—real, complex, human. Each dress became an exercise in listening, in elevating, in transforming insecurities into confidence.

Together with Nieves Álvarez, Bimba Bosé, Verónica Blume and Martina Klein, Laura starred in a tribute to Davidelfin. The designer, who shared with her a deep creative complicity, called on his timeless muses for a nostalgic yet modern editorial that reunited five unforgettable faces of Spanish fashion.

Her career kept rising. Laura appeared on the covers of major fashion magazines across the globe—Vogue, Glamour, Elle, and L’Officiel, among many others. In an era still dominated by conventional aesthetics, she became a symbol of a different kind of elegance: cerebral, austere, magnetic.

She became one of the highest-paid Spanish models globally, working with some of the most prestigious fashion houses and photographers in the industry, such as Bottega Veneta, Hugo Boss, Marni, and Valentino.

Born in Vigo in 1973 and raised in Oviedo, Laura Ponte's entry into the fashion world was marked by reluctance. Initially, the idea of becoming a model didn't resonate with her. But soon, a French scout saw in her a magnetic strength that defied expectations.

From a chance discovery at a concert to becoming a regular for the most respected names in the industry, Oscar Kindelán has shaped a decade of men’s fashion, leaving a mark defined by sharpness, precision, and quiet elegance.

Oscar appeared in a standout editorial for ICON El País, photographed by Gorka Postigo and styled by Nono Vázquez. Alongside Fernando Lindez and Pablo Fernández, he embodied the strength of a new generation of Spanish male models.

He joined the Models.com Top 50 and Hot List, and was nominated for Model of the Year. Billboards, editorials, and runway shows followed—from Boss to Loewe to Ferragamo.

Oscar became a fixture on the world’s most coveted runways, fronting campaigns and lookbooks for brands like Bottega Veneta, Loewe, and Valentino. No longer the new face... he was the face.

Models.com named him a breakout star. That year alone, he walked for Louis Vuitton, Dior, JW Anderson, Fendi, Hermès, and more. The industry had taken notice.

Oscar made his international runway debut for Prada’s SS16 show, handpicked by casting director Ashley Brokaw. A quiet entrance—but a powerful one.

Born and raised in Madrid, Oscar Kindelán was scouted on his way to a concert in 2013. A skater with striking features and no plans to model, he suddenly found himself with a future in fashion.

Rocio finishes her Design degree in record time while working and launching her own fashion label, Crusset, based in Spain.

In 2023, she stars on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Mexico; Juankr Zorrilla immortalises the model in an extensive feature.

In 2020, Tom Schirmacher portrayed her for DKNY Fragrances. She settles down to work in New York City, developing a solid portfolio of clients. She also begins studying design at Parsons School of Design. 

The Balmain Hair campaign arrived on Crusset's doorstep. Photographer Edwin S. Freyer portrayed her for a black-and-white ad on this occasion.

In 2017, she walked the catwalk for German designer Philipp Plein in his SS18 collection. Crusset became an increasingly well-known face on the international scene and moved to New York, although, while travelling and combining her studies, she finished her Economics degree in Spain.

Also in 2015, she made her debut for Vogue Spain in a feature shot by photographer Gorka Postigo. This year, her European career took off.

Rocío Crusset began to be followed at the age of 12. By 2014, at just 20, her career was established in Spain, and she started her international success. By 2015, as her first cover for Glamour shows, Crusset had become one of the most recognisable Spanish models.

Everything that the past has brought Lindez has succeeded; neither campaigns, catwalks, nor the audiovisual world can resist him. Unlike this Versace campaign, in which dark colours predominate, the future looks bright for the model and actor.

In addition to positioning himself as one of the most quoted Spanish models worldwide, Lindez has also acted in series and audiovisual projects. He has shone in his role as Joel in the Netflix series Élite.

Fernando Lindez's big projects followed in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Loewe, Prada, Dior, Versace, Louis Vuitton, AMI, JW Anderson, Jacquemus, and Fendi, among many other major fashion houses, fell at his feet during these years.

The catwalk shows, magazine covers, and powerful campaigns for Lindez start. In 2019, he was the face of Davidelfín. Prada signed him for its SS20 catwalk, and he made the front page of ID Magazine.

Only a year later, he got his first big break, posing for Loewe's SS19 collection. This campaign was the starting point of a career that quickly became consolidated and echoed throughout Europe.

Fernando Lindez was born in Madrid in 2000. He began his modelling career at UNO in 2017; his talent had already shown a meteoric projection.

Vogue, Elle, Oscar de la Renta, Harper's Bazaar and much more: Hana Jirickova's career has been marked by the top names in fashion. She has a future just as golden as her iconic Lady Million.

Hana Jirickova has starred on countless covers of the fashion world's leading magazines: from Vogue to Elle to Harper's Bazaar and an outstanding editorial in Pop Magazine in the style of Madonna in the 80s; she has been, is and will be a determined, hard-working model with an overwhelming personality. She has also been the face of Tommy Hilfiger's Pre-Fall 2023 campaign. 

Her face became recognisable to the general public because Paco Rabanne signed her as the model representing his Lady Million staff and his perfume Eau My Gold. Becoming the image of this iconic product makes her occupy a predominant space in the fashion world's imagination.

Jirickova's second big breakthrough came, and her career took up a gear: in 2013, at 22, she moved to New York. There, she walked for Oscar de la Renta and Ralph Lauren. Hana Jirickova is already a name of her own on the fashion Olympus.

The world is a place to explore and conquer for Jirickova during her first years as a professional model. During this period, she was photographed by Peter Lindberg, shot memorable covers with Steve Hiett and posed in front of top photographers.

 Hanah Jirickova was born in 1991 in Brno, a picturesque city steeped in history in the Czech Republic. At 16, while strolling through an art gallery, she was "discovered" and won her first modelling competition, the start of a glittering career for this blue-eyed talent. In 2009, she signed with the Silent Model agency in Paris.
