Model of the Week
Model of the Week: Aminata
You probably don't know the name Mia Aminata Niara — she goes by Aminata professionally — but that should soon change.
The 5'9" stunner was born in Senegal, now lives in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, and speaks three languages. She's, as they say, big in Europe: Aminata has walked the runways of Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin and appeared in magazines such as Vogue Germany.
Model of the Week: Marisa Miller
As the new face of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Dare fragrance, Marisa Miller is on the road to being a one-namer (think Heidi, Cindy, Naomi). I caught up with her recently in New York and got her to spill some beauty secrets. Most surprising, however, was that the California native has eschewed suntanning over the last few years and believes it has saved her skin.
Model of the Week: Teiko Dornor
My friend Frank is an uber-talented designer, and when he showed me the look of this Nicolay and Kay release, I had to know who the gorgeous woman on the cover was. Turns out that she's a London-based model named Teiko Dornor — and she's much more than just a pretty face. She's a working model, a law student (who's on a break), a television presenter with OBE-TV, and the organizer of a pageant called Miss Plus Africa.
Model of the Week: Natalie Nwagbo
Londoner Natalie Nwagbo isn't going to let a little thing like getting kicked off of cycle three of Britain's Next Top Model discourage her from modeling. This 5'11" 23-year-old is an eight-year veteran in the biz. She got her start when a talent scout wandered into the nail salon where she worked and asked if she would fill in for another model at a fashion show later that week.
Model of the Week: Coco Rocha
In her four years of modeling, Coco Rocha has become one of the fashion world's most famous faces. Discovered while competing in an Irish-dance competition, the 5'9" beauty has walked countless fashion runways including those of Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, and Christian Dior. She's also appeared on the covers of top magazines including Numero, Vogue, and W.
Model of the Week: Chanel Iman
If you haven't heard of Chanel Iman yet, get ready, because this teenager might just be the next supermodel. The 5'9" Korean-American/African-American stunner has worked for a long list of designers including Christian Dior, Valentino, YSL, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, and Oscar de la Renta. Oh yeah, and she's already been on the cover of Vogue.
Model of the Week: Karolina Kurková
If the Jolly Green Giant had a gorgeous daughter, it would probably be Czech model Karolina Kurkova. I'm of above-average height, but she's so tall that I felt about as short as Milo while interviewing her. She's been on the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The Face among other magazines.
Model of the Week: Isabeli Fontana
Brazilian beauty Isabeli Fontana was the last model that Fab and I talked with at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The 24-year-old, who started modeling for Victoria's Secret when she was just 16, has appeared on the covers of Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and other fashion heavyweights. We had only a few minutes—literally—to chat, but she shared some good details about her skincare routine and philosophy.
Model of the Week: Angela Lindvall
I recently had a few minutes to talk with Angela Lindvall, whose face you've probably seen on the covers of ELLE, Nylon, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Vogue, and all the other big-name magazines. But she's more than a pretty face. The 28-year-old is an environmental activist, a vegetarian, and an outdoorsy, hippie-chic sort of lady.
Model of the Week: Hana Soukupová
It's been a long time since I first spoke with Hana Soukupová, the Czech model who's one of the most in-demand people. While backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, I had a few seconds to talk beauty with her (and of course, Fab got her fashion thoughts).
Even though Hana is about to turn 23, she looks like she could pass for 14.
