Emily Meuleman is the second out of three newfaces at New York Models we would like to introduce for S/S14. What we like about the South African beauty is that she is a truly captivating editorial model. She is not only a versatile and naturally powerful but also manages to give everything a touch of herself which is very unique. With a gaze that is intelligent and nonchalant, Emily has worked for some of the most prestigious magazines such as i-D Magazine, Vogue Italia or Wonderland and here is hope the print visibility will translate into a fabulous first show season for the brunette beauty. Keep the girl in your mind!
