Our Team

Kira Bucca is the Founder and Editor in Chief of Jejune Magazine.

As a passionate fashion photographer and humanitarian, Jejune Magazine is the perfect avenue for her to showcase people in the arts who are doing both positive and beautiful work.

Kira is a fashion, beauty, advertising and photo journalistic photographer based in New York City, but can be seen shooting all over the world. She is known for her moody iconic editorial style, that pulls the viewer into the image and celebrates its frozen moment in time.

When she is not working on Jejune or shooting fashion, she is often seen traveling the world, increasingly working with humanitarian causes. She is also an avid competitive pole dancer and instructor, and works with an amazing volunteer organization, House of the Roses, to teach second chance kids in the city how to dance.

Carré Otis has long been one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling industry. A native of Northern California, she first achieved fame when she appeared on the cover of Elle (France) in April 1986. Over the next few years, she became an extraordinarily successful supermodel, headlining campaigns for Guess, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and Revlon. Carré has appeared on the covers of Vogue (USA, France, Great Britain, Italy); Harper’s Bazaar; Glamour; and Cosmopolitan.

Over the course of her remarkable career, Carré has worked with the many of the greatest photographers of the past half-century including Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, Guy Bourdin, Matthew Rolston, Deborah Turbeville, and Michel Comte.

Carré has long been open about her past battle with eating disorders. Graced with years of recovery as a result of intense spiritual and personal work, Carré is committed to speaking out about the pressures that so often overwhelm young women in and out of the modeling industry. She has traveled around the world and appeared on many nationally televised programs, offering her unique insight into the business of beauty, and the high price that business demands.

Carré’s memoir, Beauty Disrupted, was released in 2011 by HarperCollins Publishers. She has contributed to Huffington Post, Mind Body Green, Elephant Journal, Patheos, The Conversation and Vogue Australia , and is passionate about the dangerous impact subversive media-messaging has on our culture-especially our young women-but also enjoys writing on topics related to health, nutrition, yoga, relationships, sexual intimacy, mind-body connection, and spirituality.

Carré grew increasingly concerned about unfair labor practices and poor working conditions in the modeling industry and has become an advocate for young women in and out of the industry. She’s on the Advisory Board of the Model Alliance, a non-profit industry group working to establish fair labor standards for models in the U.S., as well as a long time Ambassador for National Eating Disorders Association.

Her strong commitment to helping others reclaim physical and emotional health, develop positive body image--fulfill and empower themselves in all areas of their lives--is what makes her a powerful and inspiring voice for change in the world today. In December of 2013 she gave her first Ted Talk in San Francisco where she addressed several themes related to her activism.

In 2006 Carré married Matthew Sutton, an Environmental Business leader. They have two daughters, Jade and Kaya, and reside in Boulder, Colorado.

I started Femme On Trend to find myself, I was 16 and I didn't know If I loved or liked anything, so one day I discovered all about Fashion Bloggers on a TV show, those girls looked like they know what they were doing, they looked amazing and they were living their best life, doing what I always wanted to do, travel. But traveling with a purpose, for work, who would thought that you can do that back then on 2012? So I decided to learn something completely new for me, fashion. All about designers, brands, organizations, bloggers, journalists, magazine and seven years later, I got invited to shows at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, it blow my mind! And with the revolution of Instagram and social media I found my new career (I literally quit college and study Advertising) so I can relate more of what I was doing. This give me the opportunity of meeting new people from all around the globe, from the US to Europe, to even Australia! I'm still learning, but I get excited every season.
