Dazed & Confused Issue 165 Cover Shoot

For September's cover, shot by Will Davidson, Dazed fashion members Karen Langley and Katie Shillingford worked together as a styling duo to captured their favourite new faces wearing some of the strongest collections of the season including Burberry Prorsum, D&G, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu.

“We wanted to work together so that it was a mixture of our styles, we’ve always appreciated each others aesthetic so we thought it would be quite a fun idea to combine the two," Katie  
“Our September theme was excess. I think working together, we felt more confident to pull off slightly more outlandish styling ideas – like mono-brows. I’m sure some people will love them and some people will hate them. …we love them!!” Karen

“Cato Van Ee was an exclusive to Prada and Miu Miu this season, as soon as I saw her on the runway she made it on my casting wishlist for the season. I shot her for the August issue of Dazed and was so impressed. She moved so well in front of the camera and is just a real pleasure to shoot.” Karen 

Name Cato Van Ee
Age 19
Nationality Dutch
Where did you grow up?
I was born in South Carolina, USA and also lived in California until I was 8. Then I moved to Holland to Bentveld-a beach town close to Amsterdam.
Where do you live now?
In between Europe and New York. I try to be in Holland a lot but I’m getting an apartment in New York so I will be spending more time there.
How where you discovered as a model?
My hairdresser in Amsterdam sent me to an agency in Holland and insisted I give it a try
How long have you been modelling?
I was discovered when I was 15 but I was always very focused on school so the first time I started internationally was in February.
What’s the most exciting job so far?
Last week I shot a commercial for D&G with Mario Testino. It was so different standing in front of a rolling camera but a lot of fun and a nice challenge to be acting. I was very nervous for this job but I think it turned out well.
What’s your dream job?
A shoot with all my friends and family, so they can experience what I do everyday
Who is your favourite Supermodel?
Christy Turlington. She is a beautiful woman and next to being a supermodel she is well educated and does a lot for charity
If you weren’t shooting today what would you be doing?
Probably sleeping in and then just hanging out with my friends, going to the beach and just enjoying summer

I don’t believe in a best and worst feature. I’m happy in myself and that is the key to being beautiful.

Stella McCartney

I was tied up in tights from top to bottom

Latex shorts, a skuba suit, a tutu from the national ballet and a motorcycle helmut all at once

“Whereas Pernille is brand new, she’s only just started and is at the beginning of a very exciting time. She walked in as a timid 16 year old but when we dressed her up, gave her red lips and put her in front of the camera, she became a completely different person.” Katie
