I adore JA model Vanessa Ford

I met Vanessa Ford through Jamaican fashion icon and Pulse Model Agency owner, Kingsley Cooper in 2007.

Islandistas, it’s that kinda time again – Fashion Season!
New York Fashion Week kicked off yesterday at a brand new location – Lincoln Center.
And with the new location and new season, comes a host of new runway talent and as per usual, we are back to poring through the web pages of style.com to scout out the hot new islandista talent working the runways.
After the first day, one new model has pulled ahead of the pack of both old and new Caribbean models, snagging three shows on day one – Martiniquan model Melodie.
She got a shout-out last week from the New York Times’ in a piece by fashion critic Cathryn Horyn looking at casting directors’ (of course!) new favourites and has followed up on that, walking forVena Cava, Rachel Comey and Nicholas K.
Truth be told, lots of models of colour and of island walked for Rachel Comey – sent us scrambling to the Fashion Spot’s Jamaican models thread to i.d. some of the new faces.
Another newbie is Jamaican Ornelia Edwards who walked for Rachel Comey, as did Trini-descended Canadian Alyssah Ali.
By the way, Alyssah wants you to know that she Trini and proud eh? In an interview earlier this year with the Trinidad Guardian, the Canada-born model explained that there is still some confusion about her heritage, with many presuming she is from India.

“It was because someone wrote an article about me being Indian. Ever since, I have been trying to prove to people that my background is Trinidad. Even then, some do not know where it is and assume it is somewhere in Asia. I am very proud of where my family is from. I would love to celebrate my Trinbagonian heritage if given the chance,”
​

she told the Guardian.
