Girl We Adore: Maddy Relph A sexier world tour Presented by Amuse Society

girl we adore what youth
Photos: Jourdan Bowen

This is Maddy Relph. She grew up in Australia and was the paper girl for Jourdan Bowen, who lived on the same street as her. Long story short, they have been together for 9 years now and one day in-between her modeling and his mining, they decided to bail. Photog and muse. On the run. Go.

Australia. Spain. France and then Turkey ensued. Then London, New York and Vancouver. Then there was a van and a snow season. A drive to California, where they sold all their gear, ditched the van at a wreck yard and caught a plane. That plane went to Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica. Trip ended in Hawaii. 14 months, and now there is this: beautiful photos of a beautiful girl from a beautiful world.

Girl We Adore: Langley Fox Presented by Amuse Society

“If I don’t laugh at my outfit a little bit each morning, I’ll change.” Langley Fox told us this on the roof of the Ace Hotel after the World Premiere of Cluster. She was of course dressed impeccably, with just enough giggle. That night, it was a polka dot dress. Just perfection. And while Langley has…

Girl We Adore: Natascha Elisa In Search of Sadie Presented by Amuse Society

Natascha Elisa doesn’t make any plans. Things just seem to happen. She recently caught the attention of Amuse Society and it’s easy to see why. As a model, a blogger, a philanthropist, a business mogul, Natascha doesn’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon. It began in Australia at age 15 when she was scouted…

Girl We Adore: Kayla Varley Both sides of the glass Presented by Amuse Society

Kayla Varley left the small town of Bakersfield, California and headed to L.A. at age 17, armed with her self-taught photography skills and a whole lot of angsty ambition. Inspired by the works of Lauren Greenfield and Sally Mann, Kayla‘s photographic style commands attention. It has a bold, fierceness we like. Gifted a point-and-shoot camera…

Girl We Adore: Rikki Barton Inspired by Kate Moss Presented by Amuse Society

This shoot was inspired by the historic shot of Kate Moss reading in the bathtub shot by Sante D’Orazio for Vogue Italia in 1995. And while you need say no more (you had us at Kate Moss), this ode to the icon photographed by Mark Powell caught our eye. The smokey-eyed-but-somehow-adorablely-sexy literati in her underwear…
