JUMP!


I love love love those editorials and ads where models are photographed jumping...I know there's many people that can't stand them or don't get why they are jumping (for not a good reason, in many occasions)...but I love them, the girls ususally look so relaxed and happy in them (with some exceptions...see last pic).
I can't help but think...do they really jump, or do they need some help or a trick?
The official jumping expert is Caroline Trentini...Anna Wintour loves showing her like that at least once a year.

  2. Beautiful jump shots! I love how they demonstrate fluidity and motion in the designs they are flaunting.
