Model Monday

My holiday has been on holiday. Rude, right? Not to fret because Model Monday is back (for now). Today's model is the one and only Jessica Stam. I absolutely love her look. She is a part of the group of models described as "doll faces" along with Gemma Ward who was last Model Monday's model. She's Canadian and grew up on a farm in Ontario. Her dream was to become a dentist. Ha.

Fast forward to her modeling career. She's been on the cover of American, UK, German, and Turkish Vogue and has been in advertisements for Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, DKNY, and many others. She was featured on the cover of American Vogue with models such as Coco Rocha, Caroline Trentini, Sasha Pivovarova, and Agyness Deyn as the new crop of supermodels. In Fall 2006, Jessica fell at the Chloé show and it took first place on the Top Five Runway Falls by New York Magazine. Applause, Cheer, Congrats! She starred in the Fall 2009 Fendi campaign shot by Karl Lagerfeld. She's done everything from high fashion to Victoria's Secret runways and now campaigns for Aldo.

Now fast forward to the part where I get really jealous. Marc Jacobs created The Marc Jacobs Stam, a handbag that was inspired and named after her. She's even made a transition from modeling to designing, collaborating with Rag & Bone on the Spring 2010 collection and then co-designed a capsule collection (jeans, a bag, and a cardigan) with Rachel Roy. She currently ranks #8 on MODELS.com's Top 50 Model List. Not hard to believe.
I mean...just look at her.
