It must be great to produce this level of work without even trying....it just comes so naturally to herB) Some other girls really have to emote to have this much presence in print, and she just has IT.
Thanks for all the pics/scans

what i don't understand, how come she hasn't gotten a major campaign? her ability of selling the clothes is incredible. she'd be perfect for JPG, HERMES, GIvENCHY...so many others.

I agree she has an amazing presence in the photos that i personally think nobody can beat. Her eye contact is amazing, she works the product her face is just incredible, and she owns every shot. But I think a major reason she has not scored a major european campaign is because of the color of her skin unfortunately.

^ Although I try not to think along those lines (naively)......you have to wonder at this stage in her career if that is the reason.

I don't understand either. It is high time as far as I am concerned. I get tired of singing the same song, though.

^here's an article that came out today on the subject. It may be extreme (or is it?) but it is thorough. Only 14 American Vogue covers out of 1,416 were of minorities?

^I'm not gonna read the article but your comment about the 14 covers doesn't surprise me . I think Teen Vogue and Men's Vogue have had more minorities in their covers within the short time they've been out than US Vogue has ever had. If they can step up, why the hell can't US Vogue? -sighs- But I'm with Crakk, I'm really tired of playing that tune again.

This is a REALLY GOOD Interview - Sessilee

She is very inspiring and smart girl.

Here's an excerpt:

There’s still a lot more I want to accomplish in modeling and outside of it. It’s a beautiful time to be in this profession, because there are so many other models of color — girls like Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, and Arlenis Sosa. In the beginning it felt very competitive. There was so much awareness of what we were all doing and it felt like a race for a second. But it reaches a point where you have to ask ‘Who cares?’ If they are working and I’m working, then it’s all good. The truth is, we are all friends. Arlenis and I are godmothers to Jourdan’s baby. Those are my girls and I love them to pieces. I am just as happy for them as they are for me.

I treasure those relationships because sometimes being a woman of color in this industry can be frustrating. It seems like if a client wants an “ethnic” model for a shoot, they’ll either go for a light-skinned girl or the darkest girl you can possibly imagine. It is understandable because fashion is about making statements. But sometimes being in between can be frustrating. There have been times when I’ve been told that such and such designer is not using black models in their catwalk this season, but I’ll check out photos after the show and there is a black model. More often than not, the explanation is the girl is not really black, since she’s light-skinned. It’s a pain, but I’m hopeful that one day the industry will see that black — in all its shades — is beautiful.

Beauty Tip

I'm trying this one!

 

[happycanadian]

somebody NEEDS to cast Sess in a major campaign. it quite literally enrages me that such a superb model isn't getting work just because she's black. it's ridiculous. i hate it.

^YES! Agree totally. Sessi makes mince-meat out of most of the girls working right now. Campaign time for sure...can Major do it for her???
