natural model: wakeema hollis/hollis wakeema

Hollis (her model name) is American, born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1984. She now lives in New York and is signed to Why Not and New York Model Management. She's known for her hair (damn skippy!) and lips.

She has walked for Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Trovata, Vivienne Tam, Baby Phat, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Tracy Reese, among others. She has also modeled for Nordstrom, Paul & Joe for Target, Moschino and been the face of Paul Smith Women.

Elle has quoted her saying "I am from a small town in Tennessee so for me the novelty never wore off; it's just still really exciting. I love meeting new people and working for new designers because I'm just a little jitterbug, you know. I'm all over the place!"
