Fashion’s Latest It Girl Comes Straight from Guadalajara SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 7:12 PM by JANELLE OKWODU Though it may not be home to as many supermodels as Brazil or Russia, Mexico has given the world some of its most dynamic models; among them ’90s Sports Illustrated regular Elsa Benítez, Gucci-era Tom Ford favorite Liliana Domínguez, and current runway sensation Issa Lish. The latest to catch the eye of fashion insiders is Mariana Zaragoza, a 16-year-old newcomer from Guadalajara, who snagged one of the sought-after exclusives at Proenza Schouler. Selected by casting director Ashley Brokaw to walk alongside stars like Julia Nobis and Mica Arganaraz, Zaragoza made her modeling debut in the biggest way possible—something even she can’t quite believe. “Here I am, in New York City, and it’s amazing!” Zaragoza said post-show. “This has been a huge opportunity for me to grow as a model, get more experienced, and meet new people.” In many ways, Zaragoza’s story follows the classic new-model narrative: She never considered a career in fashion until a local agent approached her and her mother while they were shopping at the mall, and then it was pretty much all she considered. “I couldn’t get the modeling idea out of my mind,” says Zaragoza, who is now signed with IMG. “My cousin was taking classes at an agency in Guadalajara and invited me to go with her. That’s when it all started.” A flamenco dancer with a gift for posing, Zaragoza spent the next year building her book with tests and editorials before getting the chance to work behind the scenes with Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez in the days leading up to the show. “Then I got to see the final pieces ready for the runway,” said Zaragoza, who may be new to the fashion world, but is not immune to its many charms. “It’s hard even to choose just one thing I liked best; there were so many beautiful pieces! There is so much effort involved in the creation of each piece of a collection, in a single photograph for a campaign, and in the planning for a show. It literally is a work of art.” Even when she wasn’t immersed in Proenza Schouler’s process, Zaragoza’s New York Fashion Week has been pretty magical. The model has spent her time jetting around the city to see the sights, picking up an occasional souvenir for her friends back home, and checking in via FaceTime with her pets: three Vietnamese pigs. “I adore pigs!” she says, and she also collects them in figurine form, citing the current tally at “more than 300 pieces.” Zaragoza even found time for the most New York of experiences: a major celebrity sighting. “I was walking down the street after a fitting and saw a bunch of people in the street. Suddenly I look up and there were David and Victoria Beckham on their way to a coffee shop!” http://www.vogue.com/13476273/marian...clusive-model/

Elle est jeune, elle a du style, de l'allure, et une chance folle : Mariana Zaragoza est entrée dans le club très fermé des it girls de Vogue. Vous entendez son nom pour la 1ère fois ? Laissez-nous faire les présentations. De longs cheveux blonds, des yeux bleus qui lui mangent le visage, des lèvres boudeuses… et pourtant, la nouvelle it girl révélée par Vogue est bel et bien Mexicaine ! A 16 ans, ce mannequin atypique est en train de concurrencer ses grandes sœurs Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner ou Miranda Kerr. Elle défile déjà pour les plus grands : Proenza Shouler durant la fashion week de New York, Christian Dior à Paris… et maintenant, la voilà dans les pages de Vogue ! Découvrez notre portrait de cette nouvelle it girl si prometteuse. Repérée dans un centre commercial C'est à Guadalajara, à 500 kilomètres de Mexico, que la jeune fille a grandi. Son 1er post sur Instagram remonte à plus de 4 ans, et révèle l'une de ses passions : les cochons (elle possède plus de 300 figurines, et a adopté 3 cochons vietnamiens !). Ce n'est pas son seul intérêt : Mariana pratique le flamenco, adore les baskets fluo, les sorties avec les copines… Une ado, quoi. Jusqu'au jour où une agence de mannequin la repère dans un centre commercial et lui propose de faire un essai. Les clichés Instagram de la belle changent de style, et elle les commente désormais en anglais. Le début de la gloire ?
Le Mexique, le nouveau pays des tops ? Mariana Zaragoza a beau tout juste débuter dans le mannequinat, elle a déjà réussi à s'imposer dans des défilés aussi prestigieux que ceux de Prada, Dior ou Proenza Shouler pour les collections de printemps 2017. Et le magazine Vogue, toujours à la pointe de la tendance côté it girls, n'y voit rien de très étonnant. Car le Mexique serait la nouvelle mine de silhouettes fashion et de jolis minois. Elles se nomment Karime Bribiesca, Daniella Valdez ou Cindy Gradilla, et toutes partagent la même origine géographique. Les beautés brésiliennes et russes n'ont qu'à bien se tenir !
