This girl is spectacular. She photographs unbelievably and her walk is on point. I'm so impressed with Arlenis and what she's accomplished in such a short time period. I expect nothing but big things for her. Chanel and Jourdan better watch out. I'm so glad to see another Dominican doing it big in the fashion industry (besides Omahyra Mota). I love them both. Talking about Omahyra...







I love her editorials. Stunning. I'm a have a Spotlight post dedicated to Omahyra next week. =]
