Chrystèle Saint Louis Augustin
She is one of my fave models, born 12/27/74, a Capricorn like me, plus she looks like she could be Noemie Lenoir's big sister. Although she looks biracial, she is in fact, not. Her parents hail from St. Martinique. She is on of the most sophisticated and successfull runwa models of all time.
Here is an article from CNN
A wild, free, untamed head of hair!

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Chrystele St. Augustin admits that when she let her hair down, it made big fashion news.
But this blue-eyed, 22-year-old French model says she's always wanted to be on the other side of the camera, reporting the news.
Less than two years ago Chrystele was at school studying journalism. Back then, she said, she always kept her hair tied back. When she finally let it down, she was discovered by a photographer. Now, she is well on her way to becoming a super model, and is about to conquer New York.
"I was a student looking for a job, then I did a commercial for Benneton and the casting director asked me if I wanted to join an agency," she said. "I wanted to be a journalist, but I wanted to show positive things, because usually in news you usually get bad things. I wanted to show positive things on the way all the people live."
While she has an interest in reporting, she doesn't always enjoy being the focus of the fashion media. "I must say that sometimes it is a bit annoying because you are doing things and you have to answer the question while you have to do other things, you know. And sometimes the questions are really always the same, and you get bored after a while."
Questions about her hair rank high on her list of "boring questions." But it is her hair that has made her distinctive as a model. "People from fashion make me discover beauty in myself that I didn't know," she said. "They make me discover that wearing my hair open is great and beautiful."
In school, her hair would block her classmates' view of the teacher unless she tied it back. Now, photographer Ruven Afanador said, "She's an exception in her beauty. There's really nobody that has this kind of look, this kind of features, and this type of hair. The whole combination."
Chrystele is five feet 10 and a half inches tall. Her parents are from the Caribbean island of Martinique, but Chrystele was born and raised in France. She lives with her mother just outside Paris, but says she's also having fun discovering New York -- she always wanted to travel as a student. "I really like New York at seven in the morning, when there is nobody and just when the sun is coming on the skyscrapers," she said. "I like downtown, Soho. I think it is really lively. It looks like a little village, and I really love it."
She wants to stay in fashion only as long as she can feel useful and feel that she is still growing professionally. If her modeling career ends, she would consider going back to journalism. "I've got a lot of things I can do," she said. "There are so many things in the world you can do."
