'Winter Carnival'

Sessilee Lopez and Joan Smalls have to be some of my favourite models right now. Joan Smalls is absolutely, positively one of the most beautiful women in fashion - I watched the Dolce & Gabanna Spring 2011 show about 5 times this past weekend just to see her walk. And Sessilee Lopez... man, Wendell Lissimore is one lucky gentleman. Whoever said models are 'strange-looking' clearly hasn't seen these two.

This October 2010 Allure editorial features Sessilee with yet another Dominican stunner, Arlenis Sosa Peña. The girls work it out in some luxe furs, prints, trench coats and (my favourite) Burberry shearling boots. The shoot was lensed by Norman Jean Roy and impeccably styled by Siobhan Bonnouvrier.

Back to black

I recently spent the weekend watching all the shows from New York, London, and Milan Fashion Week, and I have to say, the amount (or lack there-of) of black models is shocking! Seriously, you cannot tell me that there aren't plenty of talented young black girls, who could completely rock the catwalk. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't expect a complete overhaul of the fashion industry, but I'm pretty sure there are numerous black models, who could make many agencies a ton of money, just waiting to be discovered. With that said, I think we should all celebrate the current crop of young black models taking the fashion industry by storm. Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, Chanel Iman and Arlenis Sosa are doing extremely well in an industry where 'one day you're in, and the next day you're out' [Heidi Klum voice].

Yours fashionably,

Zee

Eclectic - that's how I would describe myself. From fashion, to music, to philosophy, to sport, to haute cuisine, my interests are wide and varied. I'm a 19-year-old journalism student who dreams of days in a plush, east-facing office, signing off the latest issue of a top fashion mag. Days of walking through the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in my gorgeous Maison Martin Margiela boots. My heart is South African but my soul is French. Onwards and upwards - that's where I'm going.
