Looking at a documentary on supermodels and they were talking about exotic models, and I was reminded how I took my book into Ford Models all proud because I just knew I was going to set NYC on her toes, well I had an interview with Eileen Ford herself and she told me…”you are too white to be black, and too black to be white and the exotic look isn’t in dear, but I tell you what, I’ll send you to a photographer that loves exotic models maybe he can work with you.” That absolutely broke my heart, but I picked my face up off the floor and left for the photographer she sent me to and it all worked out. He got me work in Paris for biggies like Pierre Cardin menswear and Pierre Balmain and in Tokyo for Yohji Yamamoto, Matsuda, and Kansai Yamamoto, and I was off and running…thank you Eileen Ford.
