Here's another model I adore [yes I'm on my modeling ish today...]. She's 29, Ethopian, and definitely taking the model industry by storm.
Her rise began when Gucci creative director Tom Ford, who was mesmerized by her during a Milan catwalk show, handpicked her for an Yves Saint Laurent campaign. After that, she caught the attention of Estee Lauder's CEO. Liya signed a $3 million contract in March 2003.
“I’d love it if young girls can see me and say, ‘She’s done it, and so can I’.” - Liya
