Just the other day the September 2009 issue of i-D magazine was revealed with models Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, Chanel Iman and Arlenis Sosa on the cover. Yesterday the behind-the-scenes video showed up on the magazine’s website and today the editorial “Thriller” found its way into the forums. The ed. is fly but it’s neat to see the personalities behind the work. Once again if you haven’t read our interview with Sessilee Lopez, you can do so HERE.
Models Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa (pictured left to right) cover the September 2009 issue of i-D magazine. A few months ago via twitter both Chanel and Sessilee tweeted about a photoshoot from London of epic proportions. Well here it is; the top 4 black models in the industry posing closely together wearing all black against a colorful graffiti background. It’s beautiful that their skin tones are black but behind those tones are multiple nationalities and ethnicites; American, Korean, Portuguese Dominican and British. Also if you haven’t read our interview with Sessilee you can do so HERE.
Here is Sessilee’s photo from the Swimsuit Edition of V Magazine. Also, if you have not read it yet, check out our interview with the very beautiful model HERE.
Do you remember a time when models had an image of iconic levels? To most the answer is NO simply because today all a person needs is a professional photographer and a little Photoshop magic and all of a sudden everyone considers them a model. Well that may be a slight exaggeration but it is closer to the truth than anything else. On the contrary there are a handful of exceptions to that fact, one of them standing tall at 5’ 10”. Yes, Sessilee Lopez encompasses everything of a true model; she has the look, the body and that “WOW” factor. If that doesn’t make you a believer her personality will. She has the kindness of a saint, you know that sort of kindness that is genuine and sincere, not that “put-on” PR manufactured nonsense. Despite countless editorials, magazine covers (most notably covering 1 of 4 of the July 2008 all black Vogue Italia issues) and walking endless lengths of runways for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld and many more, Sessilee still claims that, “…things are just starting to happen for me”. Ms. Lopez has a good head on her shoulders; she knows how to reach out to others whilst protecting herself, something important in her profession. Her generosity extends far, allowing this interview to take place right before she jet-setted off to London, literally. Sessilee keeps it real all whilst living her dream. What we see is an outstanding 2009 for Sessilee. The same goes for the years that follow. Current state of mind: VIVA LA LOPEZ!
