I-D Magazine
Put aside Miuccia's Prada's perfectly crafted pink creations that sauntered down the runway at last week's show at Via Fogazzaro, the real scene stealer was Dominican stunner Lineisy Montero. She's so new that with no profile on models.com and barely a trace on Google, extensive internet trawling suggests this might have been her first major show.
Prada remains one of the most coveted shows for a model to walk. Jourdan Dunn's 2008 Prada debut as the brand's first black catwalk star since Naomi Campbell in 97, was pivotal in the South London-born supermodel's career.
For the faithful Prada disciples watching the live stream, it was love at first sight for newcomer Lineisy. A barrage of favorable comments flooded onto Lineisy's newly created Fashion Spot page, celebrating her exclusive for the Italian powerhouse. Fans are already calling for her to bag the coveted campaign come next season.
Lineisy's beauty is irrefutable, her almond-shaped eyes and flawless skin make her a standout girl irrespective of race, but what made fashion spectators really take notice was her hair. Her short afro was a breath of fresh air in a world where black models are usually made to conform to white beauty ideals when it comes to their hair in order to book the job. Lineisy's short crop stood for a lot more than just a fashion statement, it was a potentially exciting and overdue step forward in the perception of black female beauty.
