All this rain can make it easy to forget that bathing suit season is just around the corner. But nothing will remind you faster than a new generation of local models strutting their stuff on the catwalk! Sponsored by dealavue.com, Factor Women Model Management Company and Chosen Model Management held their “A New Generation of Faces” fashion show at LaSalle Power Company Thursday night for an exclusive audience of clients, press and industry professionals, and we were on hand to check out the scene. Below, find a few of our favorite skin-baring spring looks, provided by local fashion icon Ikram Goldman!

You don’t have to be a model to look ultra feminine in this romantic Jean Paul Gaultier top.

The neon hue of this Charlie by Matthew Zinc two-piece is sure to turn heads on the beach.

Cover up for a frolick in the sand with this sarong that can be worn as a dress or a skirt!

We love the ruching on these trendy floral print ­­­­­­Jean Paul Gaultier pants.

Sexy doesn’t have to be skimpy: This dress draws all the right attention without being too revealing.

Style Bonus: Not only did local band Evoli rock the show (we’re newly obsessed with their tune “Mexico!”) bassist/vocalist/Factor model Kauri Voss (far left) was down-to-Earth enough to briefly chat with us after her performance about her own chic look. Here, she single-handedly proves you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg to look like a million bucks: Her dress is from Target!
