Model Spotlight - Alek Wek

I just added this section to my editorial calendar, click here for more information. I will feature a different model every week. If you have any ideas/suggestions as to who you would like to see featured here on my thoughts, feel free to let me know.

This week, Alek Wek made it into my thoughts. She is so beautiful and I can remember admiring her as a child, bald women were not common then.

Alek Wek

She was born in Sudan in April, 1977. Her first appearance on a runway was when she was only 19 years. She has worked for Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Clinique and many others. For more info on her bio, go here.

I found a fashion set on Polyvore, who features her. I think she looks so fierce in that picture, kinda like beautiful danger.
