Jaunel McKenzie is a Jamaican Fashion Model.
In 2002 when Jaunel McKenzie stepped on to the Pulse runway, the then 16-year-old had never aspired to be a model; still, she walked out the confident winner of the first ever Caribbean Model Search. She has since modelled for the likes of Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Giorgio Armani, Kenneth Cole, Neiman-Marcus, Next, Pepe Jeans, Oscar de La Renta, Saks and Victoria’s Secret.
McKenzie created history in New York when she became the first Jamaican local-based model to shoot American Vogue and has done campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, The Gap. With runway walks for YSL and Gucci, this young star is shining.
Whereas once McKenzie would test the waters by doing numerous runway shows, now she has the time and clout to be more selective. In a telephone interview with The Sunday Gleaner McKenzie said, “I can definitely be more selective of the runway jobs now then when I first started. It’s the standard to do runway because you get a lot of exposure and get known in certain circuits. I’ve done six years of all show seasons, so I can select what I want. Now, I tend to do high-end designers or new trendy ones.”
