She has the ability to be a very well know supermodel. I don't know why she hasn't gone that far in high fashion. Maybe the reason is because too many black models look like her ( Noémie Lenoir, Denise Vasi ect). I just don't get why so many Caucasian, Asian and Latin/&or American models who look so much alike can be book for high fashion gigs in a heartbeat. Yet, its the total opposite happens for African/African American models who have simular features. I don't want to seem like a racist ( Believe me when I tell you I am NOT!) I just haven't seen that "Breakout Face" since the early 80's; No black model today is really recognized long enough; Its like their here one day and then they disappear. You would think the designers/photographers her in the fashion world would be open to more African men & women and use them as the new faces of elegance, beauty & high fashion. Models I can think of at the moment that are still well known for what they do would be Naomi Campell, Iman (And sure I'll add Tyra Banks in the mix. But when you think hard she really doesn't compare to Iman & Naomi because she hasn't modelled long enough). Well, that is just my observation.

Yup! I'm not 100% certain about the third one, but I think all of them are Margareth Lahoussaye-Duvigny.
