The GADAL Danish Connection...

GADAL Models+Danish Photographer+ Rubberduck (Danish Brand) =????

Tell me kids? What's the answer? Take a look and determine for yourself; whatever the answer is it sure looks like fun!

Whether it's 'rabbit ears' made of shoes or frolicking in euphoria there's nothing like a a great pair from Rubberduck to make life that much more fun!!!

Here Victoria turns from model into Sandal-wearing Kung-Fu Beach Godess (or whatever floats your boat!)

Our very own Erin and Victoria had a blast recently when Rubberduck sent Danish Photographer Oliver all the way to Barbados to shoot their stuff and have some fun in the sun.  Judging from the images they certainly had a blast!!!

Victoria in her element and wearing her signature beautiful smile.

Something tells us, Erin was behind these two shots...what do you think?

If it's fun you want Barbados is certainly the place...just ask Rihanna. Oliver said in his strong danish accent- "The shoot went beyond well! The girls were great!"


See the GADAL facebook page for the final selected images in the photo album.

Erin Interviews with Easy Magazine

Gadal's Erin did an interview with EASY Magazine for the STYLE FILE section of the April 3rd  edition in the Sunday Sun published by the Nation Newspaper (story by Natanga Smith Hurdle).


If you missed your copy of the EASY MAGAZINE don't despair, here are some of the shots from that interview along with some additional shots to feast your eyes on.

Bubbly, Bright, Beautiful; all fitting descriptions for the lovely Erin Griffith, but don't be fooled, there is much more to this 5' 9" barbadian beauty than just another pretty face- with a strong head on her shoulders and a wisdom beyond her years the promising model is also a business-woman at heart trying her hand at everything under the sun including dancing; song-writing; writing movie-scripts, sitcoms, short-stories, books and commercial advertisements. 

Her strong sense of self was nurtured as a child when she; according to her, was more interested in playing with the boys, getting dirty and making mud-pies or being by herself. Certainly not the typical dolls and pretty-princess routine. 


She even tries to convince us that her daily wardrobe decisions revolve more around "if it's clean" and "it doesn't need to be ironed- great!" than what colours go with what or the latest 'must have brand'. Yet for all her self-confessed 'tom-boyishness' Erin can be the girl who knows how to change her own car tyres in one second and the sultry, seductive goddess in the very next breath!

Erin in fact is from a family of beauties; her mother Margaret Bovell being runner-up in Miss Barbados Beauty Pageant in 1985 and who could ever forget when her mom (who took the stage-name "Miss B" sang My Child the song that went all the way to the Pic-O-De-Crop Calypso Finals in 1989 where again, she was runner up and placed a strong second.


We see a future as bright as her smile for this Gadal Model. 


Brains, Beauty and Brawn is the 'Erin Story'...keep watching and stay tuned to this girl, her star has just begun to shine!

Barbados' Rihanna on the Cover of American Vogue: Behind The Scenes.

Barbados' Rihanna continues to fly the Barbados Flag high by yet another accomplishment in her meteoric career; landing the cover of American Vogue.

In this behind-the-scenes video, music's undisputed princess talks about her love for fashion "like a kid in a candy store" who can't get enough; but focuses more importantly about issues of loving your body the way it is (complete with flaws) while using fashion to highlight your strengths.

Photography by Annie Leibovitz and filming by Barbara Leibovitz.

Christopher Interviewes with Easy Magazine

Gadal's Christopher recently did an interview with EASY Magazine for the Beauty and Fashion section of the March 6th edition in the Sunday Sun published by the Nation Newspaper (story by Natanga Smith Hurdle).

In it he talked about his model routine; growing into his own fashion sense; the weirdest thing he has ever worn on the runway; and that making a statement is always more about your personality than the clothes.

If you missed it you missed-out but don't pout yet, here are some of the shots from that interview along with some additional shots to feast your eyes on.
