SLIDESHOW: Local models take Manhattan. Here, Maja Hansen in Seattle Met’s Spring ’11 fashion spread. The Seattleite was just short-listed by a top fashion casting director and pictured on style.com. To see Hansen and fellow Heffner model Miles Frank in action during New York Fashion Week, click the slideshow link.
View Slideshow »Maja Hansen the recent St. John show in New York. I’ve observed that walking the runway isn’t exactly Hansen’s strong suit. If you were at Nordstrom’s Designer Preview, you observed the same thing. But that face! So it’s interesting that she was cast for a live mannequin-style show.

To review: I do get pretty psyched when Seattle is in the national style news.
On a recent stroll through style.com I came upon a blog post that named Seattleite Maja Hansen among notable casting director Andrew Weir’s top three up-and-coming faces in the New York fashion scene. Um, not too shabby.
Hansen was a dream when she starred in our spring ‘11 fashion story, High Rise Sublime; I knew when i met her among a dozen or so other girls at a Heffner Management casting call that she was The One. I’m a sucker for short hair, and I loved her classic-but-not Christy Turlington vibe. Looks like New York is loving it, too. Not only did she get that style.com shout out, but she was cast in St. John’s mannequin-style show earlier this week (or, you know, earlier this fashion week). Check the slideshow to see her in “action.”
And then, I noticed another Heffner face, Miles Frank, in the Richard Chai Love show—and then in the Timo Weiland show, and then in a spotlight post on the style.com blog. Hmm, now let me check in with something here: Other models that have been the sole subject of blog posts on style.com? Kate, Agyness, Coco… Not too shabby at all, Frank. The Kirkland-based drummer and his band even played a NYFW party hosted by his east coast agency, Root Management.
What’s up, Seattle? You are looking F-I-N-E. Check out your townspeople in the slideshow here.
