I watched the Full Frontal coverage of the Lacoste show last night and Charo didn't model for them. If y'all remember, she walked for them during last February.

Hello Ate Guy!

I think Charo is based in the Philippines, right? Chanel Iman is from the USA so its easy for her to be casts in shows.

Majority of these new models are not from the US honey. They too have realized that you can be the most promising new model living in say, Estonia but unless you move out of your comfort zone and make sacrifices for a shot at a career as a model in America, this potential will just be that....a potential.

But hey, who knows? Charo could show up at the last minute.

Charo's signed to Ford New York though?

[ateguy]

She is yes.

I should mention that it seems Chanel Iman is most visible of this year's Ford Models' top five winners. I saw her walking for Badgely Mischka, a major get for a newbie.

I hope Charo does shows in this Fashion Week, I really really want to see her.

[ateguy]

The NY Fashion Week is over (the tents went down Saturday morning).....hopefully, we'll see her in February for the Fall 2007 shows.

[funkalicious]

I hope she goes to Paris or Milan.

Many newbies do the European circuit first, create some buzz and use that buzz to catapult them to the front of the pack of the new models aiming for the spotlight in the NY shows.

I am sure Charo is merely waiting in the wings for her shot. Ford deemed her worthy of a third place finish after all.

I saw her in Philippine Fashion Week 2005(she was a guest, did not do the catwalk) , she looks a tad bit like Kate Moss. Some of the pictures posted doesn't look lflattering, maybe its the lighting or make up

One local I really love is Ria Bolivar.
