International Beauty

Thousands of models are scouted around the world every year to star in ad campaigns, editorials, lookbooks, and runway shows. Then, there are the special few who make it to the top using their beauty, brains, and positive attitudes to radiate throughout the fashion industry and are recognized for their talents.

Ajak Deng- Sudan

We first saw her in Italian Vogue with bleached micro-short hair and Louis Vuitton SS11 dresses. A fast favorite of high end fashion magazines and runways around the world, Ajak is what the fashion industry has been waiting for. Noted for her lithe and athletic physique, she made the covers of Vogue Gioello and i-D magazine (twice), and she was featured in numerous editorials in other magazines. Ajak and her family relocated to the UK and later to Australia, where she currently resides.

Abbey Lee Kershaw- Australia

Sharp cheekbones, doe eyes, and mile-long legs are just some of the attributes that make Abbey Lee Kershaw an amazing model. Abbey Lee began modeling at age 16 while attending high school in Melbourne, Australia. After she graduated, she moved to Sydney. In 2004, she won a Covergirl modeling competition and ever since has been a familiar face in the fashion industry.
