Delesa Archer grew up watching Tyra Banks on America’s Next Top Model and hearing comments on her tall and slender figure, so it came as no surprise when she chose to pursue modelling; a choice that has seen her take the runway in international designer brands including Yeezy Season 2, a Kanye West clothing line and Jreamer, a Jerome Lamar brand that Beyoncé has become affiliated with in many of her song videos.
“I was a Tyra Banks fan since primary school and also a fan of Meleesa Payne, a local fashion designer and model,” Delesa told The Scene in an interview. “Then while growing up people were always saying, ‘girl you’re tall; go and model’. So all of this and having a fascination with fashion I decided to get into it.”
Delesa’s first foray on stage was while she was a pupil of Sacred Heart Primary during a school fair. Then during her time at Christ Church Secondary she modelled at concerts.
She has been walking runways professionally for six years now.
