new girl: KELLY MOREIRA


Newcomer Kelly Moreira got her big break in an unconventional way: MySpace. After submitting her MySpace profile for the 2009 Elite Model Look France, she went on to become a finalist in the competition. She may not have won, but they signed her anyway. And a mere two weeks later, she was walking the spring Lanvin show like a pro. Confirmations from Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent, and Dries van Noten followed. And just like that, Kelly became the runway toast of Paris Fashion Week. Hopefully, editors and casting directors took note of her catwalk turn, and her editorial debut will be equally grand.
