New York-based fashion photographer Luca Khouri has declared her ‘one to watch’ and we at SO found her to be a veritable breath of fresh air on this year’s CFW catwalk.

Pulse International model Alysia Francis, whose last big moment was her appearance in Seventeen Magazine, has just returned from two weeks of agency scouting in the UK. Mum’s the word until the deal is inked for the Marilyn Agency (New York)-signed, hazel-eyed beauty. “Hopefully I’ll be back in New York by year-end,” shared Francis, whom we spoke to within minutes of her arrival at Norman Manley Airport Wednesday evening.

It’s back to school until then for the 19-year-old Carimac student who has left go-to-retailer Kerry Ann Clarke beaming from ear to ear as a result of her recent shoot.
