What makes them so interchangeable?

I like her, but I wish she had more of a presence outside of editorials. I'm dying to see more smiles from her...or a twinkle in her eye. Something to draw me in! Or captivate me. I feel like she's just...there....

I agree. Always the same face on the runway.

Born In The U.S.A.
By Janelle

The American wave has begun! Modeling is an international business - a great girl is just as likely to be from Sao Paulo as she is from St. Petersburg and scouts have always searched far and wide for the next major face. Sometimes though, the best girls are quite literally the ones next door. The American model is experiencing a very timely resurgence and many of this season’s top catwalkers hail from exotic locales like New Jersey, California and Texas.

Given the variety of cultural backgrounds in the states American models represent an especially diverse range of beauty but all are blessed with the same down to earth charm that makes them favorites. Take a look back at some of modeling’s most memorable pitchwomen - Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, Carolyn Murphy, Bridget Hall, Hilary Rhoda - the list goes on and on, there is just something unique about the way the right American beauty can connect with an audience. Here are a few of this seasons much buzzed about newcomers whose personality and appeal make them the standouts of the new American wave.

R’el Dade

As easily one of the most elegant faces to emerge this season R’el was poised for greatness. Her flawless proportions could be found on the runway of any designer looking for an added touch of class - note her refined presence at Dior and Giorgio Armani as well as a confident stroll down the catwalk for Hermes. The sophisticated Texan teen is also making her mark editorially with stories in Numero and an upcoming slate of work with a few choice photographers.

That body is the business!

 

[haksare]

Mhmm, yes she's from Dallas Represent!!
I remember seeing her on the Kim Dawson board, she's definitely on her way to big things

 

[Northern Star]

She's lovely but she just needs to inject some personality and then she will be great. But she's only starting out so that will come over time.

Totally agreed B) Her face is absolutely amazing but that body... overwhelming! I'm so happy that R'el had such a nice first season - really hoping for some more print-work to continue her success.
