Models to Watch

R'el Dade
Newcomer R'el Dade got her start when she became a finalist in the Kim Dawson Model Search in 2005. Ali Michael might have taken home that prize, but with a face as beautiful as Dade's, her breakthrough was inevitable. After signing with the Marilyn Agency early this year, she booked editorials at Numéro and Interview. Casting directors immediately began raving about her natural poise and elegance. Wayne Sterling, editorial director at Models.com, enthused, "Beyond having an amazing spirit of freshness, this girl boasts the best body I've seen on a newcomer in years." And she walked the fall Valentino couture show as an exclusive, so expect to see her at some of the larger shows this season, and at Valentino again, natch.

I had no idea she was a Valentino couture exclusive. I knew she walked the show, but exclusive! That's major.
Great way to represent Dallas, R'el! Keep it up!!

^ Amazing, her body is incredible!

 

[Spark]

Thanks for the HQs, those shots are just incredible!

 

[mariemaud]

she's darling, an edgier version of Lisalla Montenegro, also very similar to Jourdan's looks sometimes (especially in Numéro ed )

 

[stefanelle]

^ Yess, in the Numero especially They have similar bone structure, I guess, it seems to be hard to recognise if it's Re'l or Jourdan if Re'l turns her head a bit or raise it up! Like them both, but while Jourdan seems to be the 'preetty' one, Re'l is a bit the more 'edgier' version for me

 

[Sugarmama]

^I dunno, they're only slightly similar to me. There is something sleek about Re'l to me.

 

[ediewarhol]

I am excited to see this girl on the runway.

great pictures! I always thought this girl had long hair i dunno why, maybe because she always has her hair slicked back.

 

[lanvinray]

I'm so excited to see her!!! I hope she books Calvin Klein

 

[nijuyanah]

^ That would be more than amazing - I mean... she'd be perfect!

Totally! Calvin Klein only books one gorgeous black girl every season and with Jourdan on leave, she might take her place unless Lyndsey returns at Calvin again, oh well She's still gorgeous!

 

[haksare]

A CK exclusive would be major!
