There was celebration in New York, Paris and Kingston last Monday as word came from Milan that Jaunel McKenzie had been selected for the Gucci show, part of the current collections now on in Miami. Gucci, the Italian brand that holds the prestige of being the most important of all the shows in all the Fashionweeks in all the markets, is a huge accomplishment for Jaunel who has been riding a roller coaster of success since her start this March.

In June Jaunel became the first Caribbean model, after Lois Samuels, to be selected for the Couture collections in Paris.

Since her international debut she has gone on to become a successful new face in international modeling, save only for her Pulse and Jamaican fellow model Nadine Willis, who had herself broken all barriers.
