After being the star of the Givenchy 2010 catwalk, Joan Smalls has become the glowing starlight in the fashion industry and a household name.
No surprise that the Puerto Rican beauty has been named the #1 model of the moment by Models.com after racking up quite an impressive portfolio thanks to her global exposure and high demand from the most influential designers.
Joan Smalls is a symbol of diversity in an industry that still hasn’t quite adapted to the idea of ethnic balance.
Hopefully this well deserved honor will be a step in the right direction.
