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.
