This girl needs to become an absolute ICON, I just have so much hope for her. A face like that does not come around often.

totally agree.

 

[liralita]

Same. She's one of the newer models I'm most excited about long-term, she's got everything.

That editorial is great but it needed about 200 percent more Riley. Can't believe she only got one photo when her shot was such a standout.

Jesus, the Mac video/campaign is just STUNNING.

I agree with rubydon, one spread is not enough. Her shot is incredible none-the-less!

Model:
Riley Montana – Next New York

Where are you from? How were you discovered?
I’m from Detroit, Michigan. I moved away to LA for two years. First year and half, I worked a regular job and finally I got to the point where I needed to pursue what I moved there for. I got signed to an agency there and the first 6 months I was just working on my book. After that, I moved to NY hoping to get signed to an agency. The rest is history!

What has been your proudest moment so far in your modeling career?
Givenchy was my first major campaign and I was nervous because it was my first job and I didn’t really know the business too much. It was a great experience and everyone was so nice and chill. My W Cover was amazing too because it was able to be with such big girls and it inspiring to see how they worked but also how humble they were.

What is one thing no one would ever guess about you?
I can sing! I grew up in the church so I started when my Grandmother found out and put me in a choir. She sent me to vocal lessons and everything.

What is one thing you would like to do next?
I want to do it all! I’ve done a lot but I haven’t done the most I think I can do. I want to be the top girl and I know I have a lot of talent within me to show. I don’t want to limit myself!

She's so regal, she just oozes luxe to me especially in her showcard. I really wish her a fantastic season.
