What’s the last piece of clothing you bought? Addison Gill - “The last pieces of clothing that I bought was on a Uniqlo shopping spree in New York. I got some crewneck sweaters and jeans and leggings to mix and match. I like to wear a cute sweater and black leggings with my platform heels to castings.”Addison Gill Popular Haircuts 2
Who is your favourite designer? Addison Gill - “My favourite designer right now is Marc Jacobs. I got to meet and work with him during Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton Fall 2009, which is my absolute favourite. His Marc by Marc Jacobs line is also amazing. I love the Spring 2009 RTW. The womenswear is so fun, feminine and flirty.”Addison Gill Popular Haircuts 3
Canadian Addison Gill is the latest winner of the V magazine–Supreme Model Management model search, crowned yesterday on the blogs of both companies. At 16, she's got a heart-shaped face and perfect skin that are already making us envious. But it's her engulfing eyes that stand out as her best feature, reminding us of Masha Tyelna a smidge, only in a less startling way. Little is known about Gill, other than she won the Toronto-based Chantale Nadeau model-agency search when she was 14. But that's sure to change. Given that last year's winner, fellow Canadian Amanda Laine, went on to open the Alexander McQueen and Miu Miu shows in Paris her first season out, catapulting Laine into the international spotlight and a snowballing career, Gill's world is about to change as she makes her debut in the upcoming pages of V and on the catwalk this February.

I read a few books at the same time because I like to switch between different settings and story lines. I like the challenge of reconnecting to a book and its characters after I haven't read it in a while. Addison Gill Popular Haircuts 6
