 Elle est le visage de la spring 2012 et l'une de ces beautés fragiles et androgynes qui sort du lot. Morgane est authentique , Morgane est atypique , Morgane est exclusive et Morgane détonne sans le vouloir. Elle est de ce genre de femme qui attire l'attention , qui intrigue sans qu 'on sache vraiment pourquoi.  On la regarde, elle et son long coup de Girafe.
Le blond de l'enfance , la peau diaphane de la pureté et un regard à la fois espiègle,  à la fois innocent, à la fois maladroit. Elle  rentre dans la pièce et me dit  : - Bonjour je suis Morgane et elle s'en va... Je reste bouche bée et me tourne  ébahie vers son agent en lâchant un très élégant  : -  C'est quoiiiii cette bombasse atomique PU-TAIN ! Voilà ! je pense qu'un go&see avec Morgane Warnier est aussi incongrue que d 'imaginer Carine Roitfeld avec une paire de Sketchers. Le Go&See avec Morgane me rappelle la première fois ou j'ai vu un mannequin et pas des moindres, puisqu'il s 'agissait de Kate Moss. Beaucoup moins grande , mais la même nonchalance , la même fragilité , la même candeur et vue les réponses que la belle me donne à l'interview ci-dessous : La même espièglerie. Il parait que les créateurs n'aiment pas seulement les filles belles , ils aiment les filles de caractère aussi.
Les directeurs de casting  la surnomme   " Time to Time " car elle est de celle dont la beauté n'appartient à aucune époque et  à aucune mode... Une envie de marmonner un " Et dieu créa la femme... "  si Lara Stone n'était pas passé bien avant. Parce qu 'on ne cesse de la comparer la douce morgane , tellement elle nous renvoit à ce qu'il y'a eu de plus inédit dans le mannequinat de ces dix dernières années. De face : Lara Stone , de Profil : Natasha Poly , D'attitude : Kate Moss et lorsque sa candeur s 'exprime on dirait Une Mariacarla blonde ou une Kim Noorda.
J 'aime tellement  le style de cette petite que mon esprit à reussi à la mettre à la place de Yuliana Dementyeva sur la Campagne Givenchy accessoires !  D'ailleurs est-ce que Riccardo l'as vu ? Il parait que Tom Ford oui,  et il en est amoureux puisqu 'elle était second face juste derrière Wonder Abbey et plus si affinités. Il parait que Donatella avec le casting de new face le plus puissant de la saison ( cf critique sur Versace ) en est fan . Et on prédit à l'élégante brindille une ascension presque aussi fulgurante que sa grande soeur LARA.

INTERVIEW BY ORNELLA JONG - TALK ABOUT HER FEELING
Ornella– Hey Morgane, where are you from and how old are you?

  I'm from the south of France, near Toulon!

Ornella – How were you discovered?

I was discovered by Johann Mapaga on the Champs Elyssées, two years ago.

Ornella – What does the fashion world represent for you?

2 words: beauty and creativity

Ornella  – Are you aware you are the  little star of the Spring 2012 season? You haven't even been a « new face » and you are already exclusive and signed in the most confidential agency worldwide: SILENT PARIS! How do you feel after such a compliment?

First of all, thank you, but I think I still have a lot to learn and to prove in this industry. I am very lucky to have such an incredible mother agency, Johann Mapaga and an agency Silent which takes care of me!

Ornella – If I say Lara Stone, you say...?

A modern day Brigitte Bardot

Ornella – If I say Tom Ford, you say...?

Perfectionist, rare and elegant. One of the most incredible persons that I have met so far alongside the fashion stylist Joe McKenna. I was lucky enough to walk his spring 2012 show in London.

Ornella - You know Morgane, I have a bit of a problem...I am often getting into arguments with your agent because I never have an immediate « crush » on a girl. The only one who I loved from the second I saw her, was 5 years ago, and that was Magdalena Fracowiack, and I was right because she is still on top – and I am still in love...Now that I am a fan of yours, you are already a BABY STAR. One year from now, would you say hello to me if we ran into each other on the street?

If I am lucky enough to still be around in a year! Anything can happen! To answer the question I think that someone's true beauty is their simplicity and of course i would say hello because i 'm cool girl.

Ornella - Do you think you will still be in the charts 1 year from now?

I hope so, I am working on it with my agency and my agent.

Ornella – If I say vintage leather motorcycle jacket and skinny jeans, or satin YSL dress, which would you choose, and why?

Without even thinking, I would say; the leather jacket and the jeans, it's cooler! But I have a soft spot for the leather motorcycle jacket and the YSL dress, a style with more creativity and research.

Ornella : OH yeah i like your response! Clever girl, you are mischievous!

Ornella - If I say Prada or Miu Miu which would you choose, or why?

Both, because Miu Miu and Prada are both by the same designer, Miuccia Prada. Miu Miu represents the little girl; pretty and 'smart' and Prada; the woman who transcends time! I've learned my lesson well, no?

Ornella - Perfectly Miss Warnier !

Ornella – Cite two of your idols, and why?

I unfortunately do not have any hollywood idols, or american stars like Lady Gaga or Britney Spears, even though I like movies and music. I would say I have a inclination towards those who have marked our history.

Ornella – Tell me 2 things that you hate, and why?

Hypocrisy and lies, because they are two things which deprive someone of the truth.

Ornella- Tell me two of your dreams, and why?

I have so many; I think a dream must remain something personal, lets say I am a bit superstitious.

Ornella - Another great response

Ornella - You have quite a bit of insight, at your age I am a bit surprised....there seems to be a war currently between the young and the older generation, no? What do you think of Tavi Gevinson?

Rookie, wild but talented. I don't have a deep knowledge on bloggers, other than a few images and notes from a few such as Tavi Gevinson. I would say: « It isn't surprising to be a good blogger, the only surprise is to be a talented blogger, » that's what I read in the last British Vogue. I think that it is well said.

Ornella- And do you think of me as old?

Noooooo LOL

Ornella - Alright Morgane! This was all very cool. I wish you luck, and to kill it in Paris! Tea or coffee?

Neither, they turn your teeth yellow, but I would love to serve you a cup of tea...


Ornella -Beautiful and well-mannered.

INTERWIEW BY PONY RYDER - TALK ABOUT HER BEAUTY
PONY RYDER: Samantha, ammm, how would you describe your style?
SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE: I would describe my style as a sort of hippie/rocker. I really just like being comfortable and wearing what ever I feel like at the time. I don't wear heels any longer than I have too. And I tend to wear a lot of black. I always end up buying things in black, just because I know it will go with everything else in my closet, its a terrible cycle, I know.

PONY RYDER: Where do you shop for your clothes?
SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE: I love vintage shops! I hate it when I see someone wearing the same thing as me!! Buying clothes from a vintage store guarantees that that will never happen. And plus I actually like searching around the store for that really cool find. Other than that I also like shopping at Zara, Top Shop, H&M, American Apparel..
PONY RYDER: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant?
SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE: My favorite fast food place would have to be Taco Bell. I have loved that place ever since I can remember. And since I’m vegetarian, not many fast food restaurants have no-meat options, but with Taco Bell, I just substitute beans for the beef or chicken, and voila! Amazing 
PONY RYDER: How do you maintain yours skin?
SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE: I have to thank my parents for giving me some great genes, because my makeup and skincare routine are very minimal. I always moisturize in the morning with Dove Moisture Facial Lotion.
I use mineral powder makeup instead of foundation. It allows your skin to breathe more during the day, and it looks more natural as well.

At night I make sure I wash my face. I usually use Clean and Clear Morning Burst. I know it says you’re supposed to use it in the morning, but I actually prefer to use it before I go to bed.

Every other day I use a face scrub to feel a bit refreshed. And in the summer I use a toner as well, in the winter my faces is already so dry from the weather I don’t need it.
PONY RYDER: The best advice that make up artist gave you is...
SAMANTHA GRADOVILLE: Drink more water!! I recently had a makeup artist tell me she could tell I was thirsty at the end of my shoot simply because of the way the makeup was laying on my face.

She said it was easy to tell the difference between the beginning of the shoot, and afterwards. I hadn’t been drinking much and my skin had gotten dehydrated.

She also told me that during the winter, you should start drinking more water to avoid your lips from getting chapped.

Encore une fille lancée par la maison Prada. Samantha Gradoville prend son envol en ouvrant et clôturant le défilé "Mad Men" de Prada pour l'Automne/Hiver 2010/2011. Ce très joli brin de fille, née le 1er janvier 1990 à Omaha dans le Nebraska, devient alors rapidement un visage convoité. Son allure classique, limite glaciale, semble plaire énormément aux directeurs de casting. Pourtant, tout débute en 2009. Samantha commence par faire la tournée des agences de mannequins. Elle s'engage d'abord chez Major, puis change pour l'agence Marilyn, mais décide finalement de signer avec le groupe IMG. Ce dernier pousse sa nouvelle recrue sur les présentations du Printemps/Eté 2010. On apercevra la silhouette gracile de la belle américaine sur les shows de Peter Som, J.Mendel, Chado Ralph Rucci, Vivienne Westwood, Cacharel ou Yves Saint Laurent. Un excellent exercice pour se rôder aux exigences du milieu de la mode. Néanmoins, Samantha patientera six mois supplémentaires afin de décrocher ce moment crucial qui la propulsera parmi les nouveaux mannequins prometteurs : l'ouverture et fermeture du show Prada. Ne faisant jamais rien à moitié, le groupe italien décide aussi, la même saison, de la booker en exclusivité pour le show Miu Miu, à Paris. C'est le Buzz sur Miss Gradoville. Le magazine Numéro sera, alors, le premier à lancer son offensive sur la sublime Samantha, en la faisant poser dans la fôret de Fontainebleau, par la photographe Viviane Sassen. Elle parvient rapidement à s'imposer comme l'une des favorites du magazine français et enchaînera chaque mois une série Mode.

On la voit avec poser pour Anthony Maule, Sebastian Kim, Sean & Seng ou Sofia et Mauro. Consécration par le magazine qui lui offre sa couverture du mois d'Août 2011, toujours par le duo argentin Sofia et Mauro. Néanmoins, sa photogénie a été utilisée par d'autres bons supports comme le magazine Pop par le duo britannique Sean & Seng, Vogue Allemand par Paola Kudacki, Vogue Paris par Karim Sadli, Harper's Bazaar Uk par Anthony Maule ou Vogue Russe par Jason Kibbler. Bien managée, Samantha devrait facilement tirer ses épingles du business de la mode et de la beauté.
