Olympus Fashion Week in New York is just around the corner and models are already gearing up to present designer gear for the Spring and Summer
collections for 2005. With thousands of models making the Mecca to New York for this season shows there are a few that are expected to take the catwalk by storm and all are models with power agency, IMG Models.
Gemma, J.P., and Sessilee are young teenage models who are the new
faces to watch. All of these models have only been in New York for a few months and have already graced the pages of numerous magazines and catwalks for some of
last seasons- top designers. Gemma and J.P.s- exotic looks make them stand out
from the rest, but Sessilee is a classic beauty with facial features to die for.
Sessilee, the youngest of the three models stands 5-10" and is just
17 years old. This model came to New York in February seeking the glamorous life
after her mother lost her job in Florida. "I was discovered when my mom and I
went to an open call for IMG. She had taken her last paycheck to get us to New York and it paid off," Sessilee said. Sessilee participated in several shows in what was just her first week in New York City, which happened to be Fall/Winter 2004 Olympus Fashion Week. "I went on several castings with just a Polaroid Picture and I landed most of the ones that I went to, including Vivienne Tam," says Sessilee.
Since last season, Sessilee-s portfolio has expanded to include more
magazines than she can count, including Elle, Trace, and Vibe. She is even shooting a television and print commercial for Calvin Klein’s CK1 fragrance later this month.= All of this, and Sessilee’s career has just begun. When asked if she wants to be a supermodel, Sessilee responds, "I just want to be successful."
