Balenciaga Fall 2001
Though her modeling career began more than a decade ago, Liya Kebede is evergreen. With a new Paris Vogue
cover—13 years after her first—Kebede is once again in the news, but
make no mistake, the Ethiopia-born beauty has always been on high
fashion’s radar. A favorite of such designers as Nicolas Ghesquière,
Riccardo Tisci, Alexander Wang, and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough
and Lazaro Hernandez, Kebede has racked up countless runway miles and
always manages to bring a sense of elegance and refinement to her work.
Whether she’s walking like an Egyptian in classic Galliano for Dior or
sashaying down the runway at Tom Ford’s final Gucci collection, Kebede
has played an important role in several legendary shows. In her personal
life, she balances roles as a mother, activist, and fashion label
founder, but on the runway she’s capable of transforming into anything a
designer can imagine, which is why they look to her time and time again
to bring their collections to life. Click through the slideshow above
