biography
From Valentino to Alexander McQueen, Acne to Dior, having walked a total of 65 international SS14 shows this year, elfin beauty Marine Deleeuw appears to be an unstoppable force. With thick, dark eyebrows framing her russet eyes, her delicate features are archetypal of the universally coveted ‘je ne sais quoi’ of the French. Perhaps this is why Deleeuw walked 23 shows for Paris fashion week alone – everything from her beauty spot and swollen lips, to her dark hair and slender frame embodies the Parisian myth. Although a native of Northern France, the gamine beauty is not restricted to the stereotype. She has appeared in numerous campaigns – in 1960s monochrome for Louis Vuitton, heritage tartan for Moschino, and graphic coats for Carven – proving her aesthetic versatility. At just 18 years old, the model’s idiosyncratic union of quiet androgyny and classic femininity proves that she is certainly one to watch.
