14 Things To Know About Leomie Anderson, the Next British Supermodel

Mar 16 2016 - 7:00am

Despite 2015 being a great year for models championing diversity in the industry [1], the fashion world still has a long way to go. And a wonderful new voice is speaking out about the need for change.

British model Leomie Anderson took up the mantle for models of color after arriving at a recent Fall 2016 show to find a makeup artist ill-equipped to deal with darker skintones [2], despite knowing how varied the models' races would be. This trailblazer's tweets about the incident [3] have sparked a discussion about awareness within the industry.

We love Leomie for speaking out — and there's much to know about the supermodel-in-the-making. Check out 14 reasons you need to follow this rising star as she takes the fashion world by storm.
