So what is it about Ms.Tilberg that has put her in this coveted  position, besides her aggressive beauty? Yes she has an direct, almost skate-punk attitude and a sufficiently ambiguous presence to justify the attention. She stomps around backstage wearing army boots and floor length army coats while showing off her -half-dozen piercings. Most young models would never take the risk of being so outrageous, but you see, Tasha is inevitable.

 Tasha

"To tell you the truth, I never expected any of this", confesses Tasha, "I'm happy its happening and I'm totally grateful but I'm the same person I've was two years ago. Its just that now I feel I can just be myself and not worry." And how does it feel to be dubbed the Next Big Thing a la Kate?  
"Scary." she retorts. "the good thing is now I can come in at the last minute and get my make-up done as opposed to having to sit around and wait for hours, but backstage, you feel a little a pressure. But I don't care. I'll always be myself.  When the shows end I go right back to my farm in Canada".

The true answer to the question is that statistically Tasha Tilberg has been extremely lucky. Lucky to be that thin, that pretty and most of all that photogenic. Lucky to be discovered by a hot agency that has then proceeded to package her with exquisite shrewdness and lucky to be working at time when an edgier beauty is the ideal.

"Simply put", notes Terry Richardson the cutting edge English lensman who is another fan "Tasha is not your cliche of a generic blonde girl with the collagen lips and the false boobs that you see everywhere and so she's as different as its going to get. But frankly she's also classically beautiful in a way that will always sell".

 

So for now Tasha is it, the star player who slinks into chic Manhattan boites' on a rainy Friday evening, tangled up with a posse of her friends smiling and air kissing a gauntlet of newer "friends". She's chilling on one of the back couches, she sucks back a free Heineken with all the wildness of a Catholic school girl set free. Somewhere in the room a flashbulb went off and by reflex, Ms Tilberg swiveled her head in the direction of its incandescent flair catching the last streams of light. As her face hung in perfect profile, you could see what they were talking about, the edginess and the classical sweep of it all. She may have had her doubts but "they" had plans for her.
Watch this face. Its what freshly minted stardom looks like.
