April 6, 201015 yr Model Wall: Samantha GradovilleWhen I learned Samantha hails from Omaha, Nebraska, during her visit to the Vogue offices, I had to know if she is a fan of her hometown band Bright Eyes. To my delight, she shares my teenage obsession. “I really like the Faint, too,” she adds. Now with her career taking off—she was exclusive to Miu Miu and opened Prada this season—Samantha only makes it home to switch out her fall wardrobe for spring. She lives out of her suitcase between New York City and Paris, crashing with friends or in model apartments. “I lose a lot of clothes, and it’s kind of hectic but fun to see my friends so often,” she says. And if she had to get a place of her own, it would be in Paris—there’s plenty of good music there, too.

April 7, 201015 yr Author Love her, thanks for all the Updates. I'm seriously excited to see which editorials she'll do and maybe what campaigns she will score. It's time.
May 20, 201014 yr Author ^This just makes me sad that she is not in the Prada campaign. Sam would have been perfect for that collection. :wub2: I still can't believe that Miuccia didn't pick her.
