Thema: Internationales Super-Model Liya Kebede:
"Born in 1978 and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Liya Kebede attended the French Lycée in Addis. It was here that she was talent-spotted by a French film director and began her rise to supermodel status.
On finishing her schooling she moved to France where she joined a Parisian model agency. After three months she moved to Chicago to live with her brothers (she has four in total) and continued her nascent modeling career doing catalog work. It wasn't until she moved to New York that Liya received her break into big time modeling.
In the fall of 2000, the legendary designer Tom Ford handpicked her to walk the runway in Milan for his fall/winter Gucci collection. Soon she was walking the runways for Donna Karan, Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana.
In February 2003, Liya joined Elizabeth Hurley and Carolyn Murphy as the newest face of Estée Lauder. It was a significant moment in the company's 60-year history, as Liya became the first black woman to front their global advertising campaigns for cosmetics.
Aerin Lauder, Vice President of Global Advertising Estée described Liya as someone who "defined modern beauty" and "has a global appeal, of interest to all ages and cultures." The $3m contract cemented Liya's place among fashion's elite and she has gone on to appear on the covers of American, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean and Japanese Vogue, as well Numero, V, South African Elle, Harpers and Queen, Essence and Time Style and Design and Bazaar."
