In Bloom: Charlotte O'Donnell

Elite certainly seems to be getting their footing back. After years of riding the success of Coco Rocha on the runways they delivered Karlie Kloss and Ali Stephens two seasons ago, and finally broke the Top Model curse with Alice Burdeu last season. Oops, are we still not supposed to mention that? Anyhow, it should come as no surprise that I'm always interested to see what kind of new girls they're signing to their expansive board. Well, it appears as if Elite is keeping their talent in the family and relocating the incredible Charlotte O'Donnell from Elite Toronto down to the development board in NYC (yet another wonderful offering from Canada!).

There's a very expensive looking serenity to Charlotte's appeal, especially in those sparkling blue eyes, that reminds me of Giedre Dukauskaite to certain degree. More over, I love the way her wavy hair perfectly frames her long, structured, and yes slightly freckled, face. Charlotte definitely has a very particular aesthetic that I could see looking right at home on a Marc by Marc runway, or Teen Vogue editorial in the future.



Standing tall at 5'11", Charlotte is all the more bookable with her ridiculous set of 32-24-33 measurements that should make her a great runway girl in the future. Some girls can make even the most calm and peaceful features appear new and interesting again; Charlotte is definitely a part of that elite (I'm really sorry, but the play on words was just too tempting) group. I for one am eagerly anticipating her development!
