The British beauty

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

She has graced many high fashion magazine covers, has a Victoria’s secret contract, is dating a movie star, is the face of Burberry and has even appeared in her first feature film for Michael Bay, all at the age of 24. WOW!!

So where did it all begin for this 5ft 9in beauty? And is she the next Gisele or Kate moss? These are some of the questions that fashion industry experts will be discussing and asking themselves as they prepare for ad campaigns and fashion week. What impact does Rosie Huntington have on fashion and is it the same as the Brazilian beauty Gisele who can still make anything sell and who designers still want to book, even after being in the industry for over 10 years.

Rosie was born in Devon, England. She was bullied at school for her awkward looks and her full lips. When she was in college she was discovered by Profile model management, whilst she was undertaking an internship at a modelling agency where she was serving tea. She had no attentions of becoming a model. At the age of 16 she landed a gig with Levi’s, posing for their commercial.

She has stepped into the limelight thanks to her gig for VS. Since signing on as one of their angels in 2009, Rosie has graced the ad campaigns for the like of Prada, Karen Millen and Burberry. She has walked on the catwalk for Victoria’s secret, Animale and Andres Sarda.

Most recently Rosie starred in the blockbuster movie Transformers 3, replacing Megan Fox.

So where does this leave Rosie? And what can we expect from her in the future? So to speak it did take Rosie time to gain the recognition that she wanted. At the begging she paid her dues and worked her way up. She once graced the ads for the British high street brand Monsoon and now is the face for Burberry. The future for Rosie seems bright, there are many avenues that she can and will take. Most likely she will do more movies, continue modelling, and just maybe one day decides to launch her own bag or shoe line. She is still young and has many options to explore. We will defiantly see more of her in the coming years.

Only time will tell if she lives up to the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Adrianna Lima, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks. However, she is on the right path, so make space for a new top Model!
