6. Sessilee Lopez (Dominican Republic)
Although relatively young in the fashion game, this beauty of Domican, Afro-American and Portuguese descent has already strutted her elegantly long frame and piercing eyes to the top, appearing on one of the four covers of Vogue Italia’s all-black everything issue–putting her on a par with Naomi and Liya Kebede. Although she has appeared in plenty of other mags and some major campaigns, her main claim to fame is still on the runway–where she has walked for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Hermes.
