The Discovery...Lameka Fox

dis·cov·er·y
dəˈskəv(ə)rē/
noun
- 1.the action or process of discovering or being discovered.
A year ago I featured Lameka Fox here as my February muse of the month. When I feature muses here on the blog and now also on the new boy meets girl blog it is because these women inspire me and I want you to learn about them too. Some of the women I feature you may know and others you might not.
When I featured Lameka here it was two months before I casted her in the Boy Meets Girl core look book photographed by my dear friend and incredible photographer Sophie Elgort.
Lameka and I were in contact for several years prior to casting her and I always thought her look would be perfect for Boy Meets Girl and that she would be a big model one day. Last May I felt it would be the right time to bring her into a casting. I remember telling Sophie about Lameka and when Lameka walked into the casting room Sophie and I both looked at each other and said "this is it!" Lameka tried on samples (photos below from the casting) of mine that had come in in the wrong color. When someone makes salmon sweatpants look chic, effortless and cool you know you have found the next supermodel!
For me the discovery of a fresh face or a new artist is what I truly love about the many things I do. A lot of people joke with me that I was probably a model scout or talent scout in my former life.
Since my feature of Lameka and casting her in the Boy Meets Girl shoot, Lameka was discovered on Instagram by IMG models covered here on Vogue.com and has been featured in countless magazines such as Elle, Teen Vogue and T Magazine and has graced the runway for high end brands such as Burberry and Valentino. I spoke to Lameka about featuring her here in my Midnight Inspirations section and showing you what her 2015 looked like via the eyes of her instagram account. Below are some of my favorite moments captured. I am so proud of Lameka. She has taken her new found modeling career with grace and she certainly is the next top model to watch. Cheers to you Lameka. Wishing you an incredible 2016.
