And they all started as Wild Things…
Douglas Perrett, the man who collected polaroids of today’s most famous models with no make-up on, is about to launch a book. Wild Things is nothing but a reunion of the casting director’s polaroids from the past 10 years. That being the case, it shows the very beginning of some of the world’s most beautiful women’s careers.
Posing with their faces clean, the very young (and still frightned because of all the excitment of a starting modelling carrer) selves of Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Joan Smalls, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Arizona Muse, Candice Swanepoel and Chanel Iman are there to prove these lovely young women have grown from already charming young girls.
Explaing the title and purpose of the book, Perrett said: “Wild Things is a hash tag we use on our twitter feed for every model we feature; a revolving door of the new faces looking for their big break in New York City. The book is a catalogue of my favourite go-sees from 2000 – 2010. Polaroids are a dated archiving system. Now everything is digital and laser prints, takes a little longer and is not as eye-pleasing”.
Revealing he remembers every single face that crossed his path and camera, the expert in models looks for “personality, a connection to the camera and to myself” when he meets a model for the first time. Admitting his book’s most special models are the one’s who didn’t make it and left no memory, he also recognizes the popular Joan Smalls, who surprised him, as one of his favorites.
