Arlenis - Marilyn
Age? 19
Where are you from? The Dominican Republic.
What’s on your iPod? Very soft music: Christian music, Chris brown,
Maxwell, Madonna to dance
What drew you to the fashion industry? I was discovered on the street.
Where does your inspiration come from? God first, then my family.
If you could change one thing about the world what would it would be?
The way people live. They don’t think about anything, about what’s important,
they’re living in the present. Also that people believed more in God, that
there was more spirituality.
How would your friends describe you? Funny, crazy sometimes, lovely,
always happy.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given? I remember one day,
I did a fitting with Alek Wek, and she told me I was doing amazingly well,
being at that Dior show with her right after the casting. She said, you are a
rocket! You are rocking it. She’s like a big sister.
What is your greatest love? My mom! She’s 46 but we look so alike. In
Paris, my agency told me (with a mom like that), of course you have thatskin! Her hair is soft, more beautiful than mine. My hair was straightened.
Yaris-FORD
Age?18
Where are you from? The Dominican Republic.
What’s on your iPod? Reggaeton, hip-hop, romantic music... everything
but house !
What drew you to the fashion industry? My mother has an Arts school,
and the etiquette teacher knew a modelling agency.
Where does your inspiration come from? I work to make money for
my foundation in my hometown, Higuey. It’s called Proteina (Protection
all’infancia americana). It encourages the children’s imagination – in
schools, hospitals…
If you could change one thing about the world what would it would be?
There are people who don’t respect what others think. We should tolerate
other people’s opinions as long as they’re not doing others harm.
How would your friends describe you? I say crazy things sometimes!
What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given? My mom told me
never to do anything that can make me feel bad in order to get something.
What is your greatest love? My foundation.

family to be proud of me.
If you could change one thing about the world what would it would be?
I would put an end to wars.
How would your friends describe you? Very friendly, sometimes shy but
fun, honest, outgoing, a good person.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given? To be yourself and
not get a big head because you are in fashion.
What is your greatest love? My family. They always support me. Your family is always there.

New face Sal (Rosalba) Garcia Signs with Elite
The 16 years old 5"11 beauty is originally from the province of Maimon, DR. She was signed within hours after her mother agent and director of Ossygeno Model Management Sandro Guzman sent some picture of her to some NY agencies and Elite Models was the first to respond. Very impressed with her beauty and eager to sign her right away without requesting any Polaroids or videos of her. Rosalba just finished high school and is on her way to New York city. We'll keep our eyes on this beauty, because we are sure she will take the modeling wold by storm!!
