Tanisha Harper - World Class Appeal

We saw Tanisha Harper in some shots from an earlier post and we had to meet up with her for some coffee. This girl has done it all! Looking confidant and gorgeous, the Tokyo born belle walked in having just come from a casting for a runway show. This had been Tanisha's calling since being scouted out at 15. The biggest names she's  walked for are Oscar De la Renta and Ralph Lauren which doesn't hurt when being selected for Project Runway and the companion show Models of the Runway. She's also graced every other medium including billboards, campaigns, and movies too. InStyle, Vanity Fair, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, Jaffra, MAC, L'Oreal, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Read this quote about her we found online:

"[Tanisha's] career began to take off after a shoot with famed photographer, Patrick Demarchelier for the Cosmopolitan Cover model search that brought about national media attention for Tanisha, and was heavily profiled by newspapers and news stations through out the country, including, Entertainment Tonight and an interview with Katie Couric on Today for NBC."

Tanisha has a Bachelors in Media Arts which is so important when branching out from just Photo Stills. It may be hard to book her, but you can find the bombshell with Steve at FORD LA for print and with L.A. Models for runway. 

ADVICE FOR ASPIRING MODELS:

"Always stay true to yourself and be professional. Don't worry about what other models are doing. Just stay focused on yourself and the goals you wish to achieve within your modeling career. You must have a thick skin for this industry and love yourself for who you are naturally. If you don't feel comfortable doing something. Don't do it. Never let anyone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. Stay focused!"

With a name like Chanel...

We met with Chanel for lunch at a trendy macrobiotic cafe in Hollywood with a few mutual friends. You could see that this Russian/Mexican beauty is no way older than 19, but her flawless face and perfect warm smile makes you guess that people would probably be racing to get her in their photos. We guessed right. Pun slightly intended cause Chanel shot for GUESS at just 13 years old! Later we finally sat down with the model repped by L.A. Models over a can of coconut water to find out more about her. Target and Nordstroms love Chanel and these department stores can be the bread and butter for many models. But it doesn't end there. One of her favorite trips was shooting an editorial in Buenos Aires for ELLE Argentina. Not to mention her 17 editorials for Glamour Magazine. 17! The latest for this young pro is now starring in a Cover Girl Commercial with Queen Latifah. With a name like Chanel and a face of an angel, there is no surprise she's rocking the Modeling World. Go get 'em, girl!
