International model Natasha Harper has been walking the runway for eight years now, ever since she was just 15 years old.
“I was actually at an event at the Cultural Centre and Michelle Cole and [the late] Trevor Rose came up to me and asked if I had modelled before and told me to give them a call. A week later they had me trained by Riah Austin,” Natasha said.
Natasha began modelling Michelle Cole’s pieces, before moving on to a few of Sonia Noel’s. In the past she’s modelled for local designers Keisha Edwards, Randy Madray, Ryan Berkley, Mwanza Glen and Roger Gary. For the past two years she has been on the international catwalk, walking for designers like Caesar Galindo, Korto Momolu, Mauricio Alpizar, Edwing Deangelo and Laquan Smith whose pieces have been worn by the Kardashians, Beyoncé and Rihanna.
She recalled stepping on the stage for the first time which she admitted was a bit scary and she was nervous but she focused on what she had to do and erased the audience completely from her mind. In the years since, she fell practically in sync with strutting her stuff and taking in the audience which has taught her a few things as well.
