American model Paloma Elsesser, 31, was named Model of the Year 2023 by the British Fashion Awards. She became the first curvy woman to do so.

This was reported by VOGUE magazine. Paloma is breaking the mold and confidently gaining a place at the top of the industry. The model became famous thanks to her Instagram page, and now she is invited to the world's fashion weeks. Read more about Elsesser in our article.

American woman did not plan to be a model

In fact, she wanted to be a writer or a psychologist, and for that she went to study psychology and literature at The New School in New York. Today, she is still passionate about writing as well as poetry.

The first time she was spotted by a celebrity makeup artist

Pat McGrath, a makeup artist and close friend of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, was looking for unique faces for her makeup line. She accidentally stumbled upon Paloma's Instagram account and was immediately captivated by her charm. This is what allowed the top model to become famous.

She is dedicated and not shy about talking about her problems

Paloma Elsesser is aware that she represents a diversity of figures and skin colors among Western fashion and beauty canons. Although her success is overwhelming, she is not satisfied with it and publicly declares her unwillingness to be "special."

On the contrary, the model wants to pave the way for a new generation of young girls. To do this, she regularly speaks out about her efforts, including fighting discrimination against black people, as well as body positivity and mental health (she herself suffered from addictions and depression).

She was chosen as the model of 2020

In 2020, Paloma Elsesser was recognized as the Female Model of the Year by Models.com. The list included creative figures from the industry. The prestigious title confirmed her place among the Top 50 most sought-after faces in the fashion world.
