@jastookes: #African (#Nigerian & #SierraLeonean) #Bajan #Brazilian #British & #Irish 🌍🇳🇬🇸🇱🇧🇧🇧🇷🇬🇧🇮🇪 Jasmine Tookes got her foot in the door on the commercial side of the modeling industry, landing lucrative ad spots for #Ugg and #Gap in 2010. But then, the Huntington Beach native booked #DKNY’s spring 2011 campaign, followed by a spread for #ItalianVogue, shot by @ellenvonunwerth. Her agency, @imgmodels, finally deemed Tookes ready to take on the world’s finest catwalks — and the 5’9” model didn’t disappoint. Tookes, whose looks are a mixture of her #European, #African, #Brazilian, and #WestIndian ancestors, modeled spring 2012 collections for #CalvinKlein and #JasonWu in New York, #TomFord in London, #Prada and #Versace in Milan, and #MiuMiu in Paris. #Oprah Winfrey saw Tookes on the catwalk in October 2011 at the "Lincoln Center Presents: An Evening With Ralph Lauren", Winfrey extolled Tookes' buttery soft skin and requested that she "Rub your face against mine." In 2015, she became a #VictoriasSecret Angel. Tookes was selected to wear the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Fantasy Bra (worth $3 million in 2016) at the 2016 show, which was held in Paris, France, which made her the 3rd black/mixed model to wear the bra. Tookes made her debut at No. 17 on Forbes' "The World's Highest Paid Models" list in 2016, with estimated earnings of $4 million. 👠📸 #wcw #mixedgirl https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Cym4Sng11/?igshid=17u4osiu1v9qx
