Jeneil gets Nasty

Published:Sunday | May 4, 2014 | 12:00 AM

Days after publication of her unprecedented double in German and Japanese Vogue, as well as the trendy Flare fashion glossy, Pulse supermodel Jeneil Williams has hit the headlines yet again as the hot stepper in the latest Nasty Gal campaign.

As if being featured simultaneously in two editions of the fashion world's most iconic brand was not enough, Williams continued to set the fashion firmament ablaze with her Flair Magazine editorial. Now she's a Nasty Gal.

Nasty Gal is a global online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking women. In 2006, founder Sophia Amoruso started an eBay store selling a highly curated selection of vintage pieces. In just five short years, the shop has grown to become an international style source offering both new and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories. The name was inspired by the song and album Nasty Gal. Betty Davis, the patron saint of badass women, was known for her unapologetically sexy funk music which comprises the brand's vision of femininity - complete with lame platform thigh-high boots.

Williams is one of the world's leading supermodels, and continues to defy the challenges faced in the modern modelling industry. Her success can only be described as phenomenal. In 2013, a sample of Jeneil's work included spring and summer campaigns for Jean Paul Gaultier, Edun, Louis Vuitton; spring summer runway for Edun film, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood; fall winter runway for Zac Posen, Kenzo; Editorials for Elle Magazine, The V Gentlewoman, Another Magazine, YSL Beauty Pop and W Magazine, Jimmy Choo Resort Look Book, and Nordstrom Portrait of Style look book.

During her career, she has done campaigns, magazine covers, editorials and runway for some of the fashion world's most important clients. These include: the covers of Italian Vogue (all-black issue), i-D (three times), The Wall Street Journal (twice), Love, American, Italian and Russian. Campaigns for: Victoria's Secret, Motorola, Benetton, Baby Phat, Top Shop, Aldo, Sephora, Balencaga, Calvin Klein, Coca-Cola & Diet Coke, and Nordstrom. Runway for Isaac Mizrahi, Burberry Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith, Lanvin, Nariso Rodriquez, Nicole Miller, Prada, and the Pirella calendar.
