Indian models, international work

2017

Pooja Mor

Elite New York signed her on in 2014 after Indian origin model Keisha Lal posted their selfies on Instagram.There was no response initially, till she walked for Louis Vuitton. Much sought-after today, Pooja is associated with the biggest names, be it Victoria Beckham, Derek Lam, Tory Burch or Calvin Klein. She worked with Patrick Demarchelier for the August 2016 issue of Vogue US, Txema Yeste for Numero China magazine and featured on the cover of The Edit magazine of fashion portal Net-a-porter.

Bhumika Arora

Bhumika Arora, a top international model today, was just the girl-next-door in Karnal yesterday. "Growing up, I thought I was ugly," she says. Her friends at the Chandigarh college where she was studying business administration thought otherwise, and sent her selfies to a cafe magazine. She made it to their model watch section and from there to local fashion shows. Later, she was included in the model pool for Indian fashion weeks. Even so, she wasn't exactly scorching runways, nor was she the first choice for designers. Delhi-based Samant Chauhan, who cast her in his shows, says she was always striking, but was never considered outstanding. In 2014, she sent her pictures to Elite Model Management in Paris, who signed her on. Her first international walk was for noted Belgian designer Dries Van Noten. Today, Bhumika has walked for all the big designers, including Balmain, Hermes and Chanel, and was on the cover of Grazia UK this February. She is so big now that she is off-bounds for Indian designers.

Born to Malayali parents settled in Ooty, Anima approached her after her friends sent her pictures to Gunita. Her first international walk was at NYFW Fall 2016 for Zac Posen. She is currently represented by the reputed Wilhelmina Agency in London, and walked for Nicholas K, Chiara Boni and Tome at the NYFW Spring Summer 2017. She has been featured in Vogue India eight times, and was the cover girl for Elle India and Harper's Bazaar

Urvashi Umrao

Urvashi Umrao was just another regular college-goer hanging out at the university fest in her home town Ankleshwar in Gujarat when she was spotted by Gunita Stobe, a former Latvian model who set up the agency Anima Creative Management in Mumbai in 2008 with her Australian model husband Mark Luburic. Urvashi had refused to see the first test shots Anima sent her; it took a lot of coaxing from Gunita for her and her family to consider modelling. "Never in my life had I thought a chance meeting would turn into something so monumentally big," said Urvashi. Anima's big bet for the year, she has already generated interest in Paris and Milan, and agencies are vying to book her for more international assignments since Anima posted her test shots on Instagram

Mumbai girl Naomi Janumala's Andhraite parents always intended to send her pictures to Anima after she finished high school, but Anima caught up with her first on Instagram. "I was on cloud 9, 10, 11, 12! I was only 16," said Naomi. It helped that her father, Jimmy Moses, is a stand-up comic, the celebrated comedian Johnny Lever is her uncle and her mother's family too is in the entertainment business.
