The way she did her turns/poses, very gracefully. Wow!

 

[Modelspiceuk]

Such poise and grace; and I'm envious of her "swanlike" neck

 

[Rotex]

I know right

that's a freakin' beautiful editorial

I see from her profile that she is represented by Elite in Paris, London, Milan and Copenhagen, but not for NY (Marilyn). Does anyone know why? (Marilyn does have an impressive list of models, I must say).

She has a beautiful feature on Style.com http://www.style.com/trendsshopping/stylenotes/032912_Nyasha_Matonhodze_Altuzarra/

Matonhodze navigates the city after arriving from her hometown of London. Fashion week has just begun, and she's already walked her first show: Richard Chai. "It was the first show of the season, so you realize it really is fashion week. You don't notice until you're completely surrounded by the cameras, and the makeup, and everything."

Matonhodze arrives at Altuzarra's Chinatown studio for her casting.

Matonhodze walks for Altuzarra, stylist Vanessa Traina, and casting director Kannon Rajah and is cast in the show.

"...It's around that time when just about everything starts to get busy now because shows have started, so everyone just tries to get all the girls at once. It's just busy, but I guess busy is a good thing. You want to be busy, because if you're not, then you're just like, 'Oh, am I not good enough?' "

Why did you want to be a model? "America's Next Top Model. I know it's completely not what modeling is about now that I'm here, but…"

Matonhodze tries her show look on at Altuzarra's studio. Above, Matonhodze with Altuzarra's makeup artist, Tom Pecheux.

Getting prepped backstage at Altuzarra's Fall show.

"Elite said yes, which was my first choice, because they win a contract from Elite on America's Next Top Model—that's all I knew. So I went in there and I was like, please, please, and never expected to get through. I'm not going to lie to you—I went in there expecting rejection full on, so when they said yes, I was shocked." Matonhodze would eventually be taken on by Marilyn Model Management in New York as well.
