Who's That Girl?





















She is none other than Genevieve Jones. Ms. Jones arrived in New York in 1999, as what "It" people in the fashion industry would refer to as a "nobody". She definitely did not remain that way fast forward March 2006 and Genevieve Jones was being named "Girl of the Moment" by Vogue magazine. This had everyone shouting, " Who's that Girl?" No one could figure out who she was or what she did. She moved to New York for college but it seems she spent the majority of her time at parties. Genevieve's "exotic looks", impeccable fashion sense, personality, and being at the right places at the right time made people take notice. Reportedly, Genevieve, saw Russian supermodel Irina Pantaeve at a party, introduced herself and a friendship was born. The two began attending the best clubs and parties. Genevieve's next big break was meeting then aspiring designer Zac Polsen on the street. He was taken back by her looks and when he started his fashion business, he asked her to model for him. This only increased her popularity and led to a major increase in party invites, intro to Fendi, a photo-op in W magazine, and not to mention the countless pictures that were all over the Internet.

Genevieve is reportedly sought after by "fashion industry publicist to go to their parties and wear their things." This works in the favor of Genevieve and the publicists. It works more so in the favor of the Houses because although Ms. Jones is getting the clothes free. She is dressing herself and adding her own unique style. Designer Michael Kors states " this is much more credible then when a stylist dresses a celebrity." To this day, no one is exactly sure what it is that Genevieve Jones does for a living but it is this mystery that keeps people intrigued, questioning, and watching.
