SESSILEE STRIKES IT HOT

Thanks to models.com for their weekend headline showcasing our amazonian Sessilee Lopez on her globetrotting, award-scopping week! Last week Sess dropped in to the only place to be this July - South Africa - to pick up her Model of the Year award at the African Fashion Awards, sharing the winners' spotlight with the likes of Pat McGrath and Edward Enniful. From Johannesburg she whizzed back to Paris to appear in Jean-Paul Gaultier's couture show, sashaying straight from the catwalk back to the airport to head to Jamaica, where she has spent this weekend guest judging at Jamaica Style Week.


Our heads are spinning just racking up this airmiles....

Sessilee for Jean Paul Gaultier

TOP SECRET

The Victoria's Secret Show is always a major event, and with this season's new Angels on show, plus eye-popping acrobats, a choir, another staggering Heidi Klum post-baby appearance and the usual elaborate set (polka-dotted dog balloon, anyone?) the extravaganza was as unmissable as ever. We were thrilled to see Dorothea Barth Jorgensen making her debut at the show alongside VS regular Sessilee Lopez...

SESSILEE GETS HOTLISTED

Grazia's review of London Fashion Week was good news for Sessilee Lopez, who they named as their top model to watch for the SS10 season. Eagle eyes from their fashion team then, as Sessilee went on to book some big-hitting catwalk appearances in Milan and Paris, including Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, and the opening slot at Jean Paul Gaultier.

SESSILEE RISING...

With show season just around the corner it's a great time for our girls to be out there rocking some hot editorial... and Sessilee has some major action going on in the September issues! As well as the i-D cover we posted a few days ago she is also out in Steven Meisel's theatrical "Performance" story in Italian Vogue, in Dazed & Confused (by Atlanta Rascher), and on the cover of Arise, out next week, where she's seriously working the 80's power dressing vibe...

SESSILEE: PRETTY YOUNG THING

Sessilee Lopez is a cover star for September's I-D Magazine, featuring in Emma Summerton's visceral story shot here in our east London backyard. We love the mischeivous mood of the graphic cover, and this shot from the story itself deserves extra attention for that incredible hair!

ARISE PROFILES OUR GIRLS

Issue 5 of Arise Magazine hits newsstands this week, featuring a profile on some of our amazing black girls - Sessilee, Sigail, Sylvie and Georgie, who also featured on the cover of Issue 3. And look our for another Elite cover star on this beautiful magazine next month!
