A 19-year old Dominican model, Monte Cristi-born Arlenis Sosa is on the cover of Time magazine’s April 2009 Style & Design supplement. Arlenis, a new discovery by the fashion industry in 2008, has taken the fashion world by storm. She has been described as “the new face of fashion” by Time Magazine and has posed for Vogue USA and Italy, Harper’s Bazaar, and many other leading publications. And she has modeled in several major shows for Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Victoria’s Secret, Donna Karan and Carolina Herrera, among many others. She is also the “spokesmodel”, or new face of Lancome cosmetics this year, and her face is what’s new at Macy’s flagship in NYC.<\/p>\n
She was discovered by fashion designer Luis Menieur when she was in Santo Domingo to look into studying communications at a Santo Domingo university. She would be a contestant in the 2006 Elite Model Look in Santo Domingo, but Menieur thought she could be a world class model and made it happen.<\/p>\n
TIME Style & Design is a glossy, stand-alone supplement to Time Magazine published six times a year. Each issue takes an in-depth look at the influential worlds of style and design and how fashion, architecture and product design influence the way people work, live, travel, shop and build our environment.<\/p>\n
