Kimanee rocks 'Red'
published: Thursday | November 8, 2007


A scorching beauty, hot runway fixture and ace jewellery designer, Pulse supermodel Kimanee Wilson has much to celebrate these days.

In just five years, Wilson has launched her own jewellery line and has headlined campaigns for the world's top cosmetic brands, donned garbs for the biggest names in the business including Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Chloe, Nicole Miller, Roberto Cavalli, Cynthia Rowley as well as the Caribbean's own son Oscar de la Renta, and graced the pages of high-glam fashion glossies. Kimanee's most recent gig is her 24/7 fashion feature in Red magazine.

In an idea-filled eight-page spread, Kimanee shows fashionistas just how to sport the season's top dresses. She makes the transition for day to evening look effortless as she shows of the versatility of dress in all forms. Shifts, shirt-dresses and tunics never looked so good.

Migrated to New York

The Westmoreland native, however, wasn't bit by the fashion bug until she migrated to New York, with her mother in 2001.

Being in the Big Apple, Kimanee heard of an open call for models by, Elite Model Agency based in the city. She followed through and the next day at 17 years old, the former Manning's School student was being photographed for Teen Vogue. Kimanee is now signed to the Marilyn Agency in New York.

Extensive spreads and covers for Cosmopolitan, Allure, Vibe, British Grazia, L'Officiel, and Visionaire, the even-toned, lean, exquisite beauty has moved quickly up the ranks and became a campaign star for the popular U.S. retailer Target, Levi Jeans as well as the ubiquitous Ralph Lauren.

VARIOUS CAMPAIGNS

Kimanee landed several cosmetics campaigns and she has been hailed as 'the face' of Aveda, Avon, Sephora and most recently Clinique. The Clinique campaign, her biggest to date, has certainly buoyed her into the spotlight.

Recently, Kimanee's hectic schedule of bookings saw her shooting for repeat clients such as Nordstrom, Carlyle, Macy's and Avon. "I have some great clients who are usually really easy to work with," gushes Kimanee. As she cements herself as a part of the top group of Pulse models currently garnering international success, Kimanee celebrates her recent editorials for Red, Giant, Italian Vanity Fair and Town & Country.<
