Dior - "Les Jardins de la Couture" by Victoire de Castellane

Although she can look plain at times, I think she's perfect for jewelry campaigns and presentations :luv:

She exudes sophistication here and at the Bulgari show in Venice.

Cover story Vogue Italia February 2024 :nopity:

She looks great, but this is atrocious.

The whole editorial is so painfully ANTM-coded :yawn:

Excerpts from her bio in this issue (translated):

At 21, Valeria Buldini is riding the wave of a new generation of [Italian] models. From the catwalks for Dolce & Gabbana or Chanel, to her first cover of Vogue Italia.

Cold, sea-colored eyes and ice-colored hair. At 15, after winning the Elite Model Look 2017, she made her debut on the catwalk and among her first fashion shows there was Prada. She saw fashion as a world too closed to be part of it, but then we saw it at Valentino, Acne Studios, Viktor & Rolf, Burberry, Fendi, Miu Miu, Chanel, Givenchy, Max Mara, Schiaparelli, Ferrari, Jean Paul Gaultier.

Born in 2003, she was born in Budrio near Bologna, from a bit of Russia (her mother) and a bit of Italy (her father). She competed at a competitive level in the long and high jump, now she stops her life in shots (see @vb.randompics on Instagram), and after studying at the NABA in Milan, she enrolled in the Faculty of Psychology. Every fashion week for Valeria Buldini is full of catwalks, as is every week dedicated to Haute Couture, in Paris but not only. In fact, she was the Italian model who closed the Dolce & Gabbana Haute Couture show in the evocative setting of Alberobello in Puglia... And there is no Milan Fashion Week without seeing her on the catwalk. Today, she is one of the seven girls representing the Italy of tomorrow on the cover of the February issue of Vogue.

Today she is a psychology student but she imagined her future in athletics. She learned to embroider from her grandmother and she still does it in her free time. She had her first casting when she was 14 years old, and closing the Dolce & Gabbana Haute Couture show in Puglia was one of the moments in her career that most moved her.

"I was a very shy, very closed person, I always spoke in a very low voice. Being a model, however, led me to open up," she says.

Congrats to her for landing the cover of Vogue Italia, though. A bit of a tacky start for the new year, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in the future.
