Models Off Duty

The great Daul Kim did it when she went all blonde. As the fashion world mourns for her, a new rising star has taken force, most noticeably because of her Asian roots and blonde hair. Capturing that edge that Daul posessed, yet going beyond and capturing her own youthful and almost regal look to her, Soo Joo (@ Wilhelmina NY & IMG Paris) is a definite stand out. With her statuesque figure, a friendly and positive attitude that shines through any camera lens, and an urban sense of style, Soo Joo has proven that she has staying power. And as casting directors and the industry in general, pays more and more attention to her, her image gets stronger. Yes, it might be Daul Kim inspired, but it is Soo Joo’s spirit that comes alive and creates her own persona, her own name and her up-and-coming star status. We’re watching.
