MIMI Magazine reports that 23-year-old model Jessica White has signed a contract with the North American cosmetics makeup company Maybelline New York.
Jessica’s big break to supermodel status came in 2003 when she was chosen for Sports Illustrated’s famed Swimsuit issue. Jessica went on to model in the next four successive issues. This was a first in history for an African American woman. Jessica quickly made headlines and was deemed the new Iman by the international press.
In 2006, her supermodel title was solidified when she appeared on the catwalk of the famed Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
That IMTA Blog quotes Serena Giovi, the Vice President of Marketing for Maybelline New York, saying, “We are thrilled to have Jessica White representing Maybelline New York. [...] Her striking beauty and spark for life, makes her a perfect choice for our brand.”
White is expected to make her television and print debut for Maybelline New York in February 2008.
