| JULY 2000 |
|
ALL HAIL LIYA It's official. The market has a new model sensation and she is the exquisite 19 year old IMG model Liya. As noted in April's Of-The-Minute, the Ethiopian stunner has surfaced in all the crucial places, appearing in the July issue of American Vogue among a stellar cast of established models (lensed by Steven Meisel), while sharing the latest cover of V with Marilyn's Nina (shot by Mario Testino). And her breakneck pace continues unhindered with an "only girl" story by Michael Thompson docked at, once again, American Vogue and a forthcoming Vidal Sasson campaign lensed by the increasingly influential team of Ines van Lansweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. With a delicate beauty reminiscent of such legendary East African beauties such as Waris, watch for Liya to blossom in the forthcoming months from fad to beloved fixture. |
