Faces of Fashion: Vanessa Moody (Alt. Version)

http://models.com/mdx/faces-of-fashion-vanessa-moody/ Since her arrival onto the scene Vanessa Moody’s fad defying brand of eye-appeal has grabbed her repeat audiences with fashion big wigs like Steven Meisel, Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander Wang, to name only a few. That’s an auspicious start in an industry with a penchant for flash flood-like model obsessions. The Texan model’s versatility has struck lastings chords with the fickle casting powers that be–and possessing that kind of assured shelf-life has become an increasingly difficult feat in modern modeling. It’s no further a stretch for her to embody the luxe campaign girl or the edgy editorial muse as it is for her to smolder down the runways for Chanel, Givenchy and Dior. After speaking with the down-home beauty, it’s apparent she’s only begun to leave her sample-sized footprint. Here, she is photographed refreshingly pared down by Nicholas Ong exclusively for Models.com, along with an impressionistic and penetrative film by Masha Vasyukova.
