Rianne Ten Haken is very particular about defining herself : “I`m as Dutch as possible.”
Discovered on the street in her native Holland, she won the Elite Model Look contest 2 years ago, but chose to finish her education before becoming a full-time model. The 17-year-old, cast by the biggest names in fashion (Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Versache) for her first season alone, and dubbed "the undeniable break-out star" by Style.com, describes her first catwalk experiences as “Hilarious.” The full-lipped Dutch says her favorite city of the 3 big fashion weeks (New York, Milan, Paris ) was New York, dramatically different from her hometown that she describes as “too small.”
