Malaika Firth

It's smiles all around as hot new Kenyan and British model Malaika Firth debuts for Victoria's Secret catwalk show.

Born in Kenya, her name means Angel but she's not from Harlem she's from Essex! Malaika moved from Kenya aged 7. What an amazing team of British models wowing for VS. Josephine Skriver is awesome too.

Aged 19 she made her debut catwalk season a memorable one starring no less than 56 times during the fashion weeks.

Who knew that watching TV with your mum is the perfect way to start your modelling career! One phone call by Mum to Premier Model Management after watching a documentary and Malaika's career was up and running.

Carol White Premier's founder "What drew me to Malaika were almond eyes, caramel-kissed skin tone and unruly locks."

She's only the second ever black model to feature in a Prada campaign. "I'm proud that I'm the second black model but I'm also biracial. It's a positive that I'm not white and I'm not black." Fantastic colours.

Leading the way for Valentino.

Dignity and poise plus Cara!

Valentino is more fun when the hem is shorter.

Pucci made full use of her 5'9 height and 23 inch waist. Yes 23!

Dolce Diva suits her!

One of Jean Paul Gaultier's best Spring looks.

Burberry Babe.

Malaika's a big fan of singer Erykah Badu.

Isn't she glovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious? Less than one modelling year old.

Pout and about.

Woo Jason Wu!

LBD time.

Joan Smalls For Vogue Spain

She's been sitting at the top of the Models.com list of the World's Top Models for over a year now and shows no sign of giving in to the challenge of her rivals! Joan Smalls worked with Karl Lagerfeld for these fab photos for Vogue Spain.

As you may have seen on our World's Highest Paid Models blog she is the 8th in that list behind peeps like Gisele and Kate Moss.

"When I said pick me up at 8..."

This is the best I've seen over-the-knee boots styled. I'm not normally a fan but this is kwl.

You go your way and I'll go mine!

"We are going around in circles in zis relationship darlinks"

Finally shaking him off, there is a strength in her face that Naomi Cambell would appreciate.

I like the leather jacket paired with a brilliant pencil skirt.

Feeling Chanel tweed 2013 style?

Looking back over my smoulder.

Hirari Ikeda for Diesel

I spotted these kwl photos of Hirari Ikeda modelling for Diesel's new capsule collection by Nicola Formichetti on the brilliant Tokyo Fashion tumblr

Nicola took 35 years of Diesel denim excellence and gave it a 2013 twist and revamp.

Each patch on the denim was chosen to tell a specific story from Diesel's archive.

Bag £245, vest £500, sneakers £155

Georgia May Jagger and Brooke Candy modelled at the Diesel Tokyo Party recently.

Tessa Kuragi made a great vamp.

Didn't you know that your dreads should be monochrome?!

Eclectic and electric outfit last month in Shibuya.

Never blend into the background.

Goldeneye she'll find your weakness!
