MANILA, Philippines - Ford Supermodel of the World 2011 titlist Danica Flores Magpantay adds another feather to her cap as she graces the (virtual) pages of American Vogue and New York Daily News this week.
Appearing on Vogue.com’s “First Look: Organic by John Patrick Fall 2011” feature, Danica poses with two other models garbed in “tea-set florals scattered over sheer dresses, and voluminous hand-knit cardigans woven by young designer Amanda Henderson with ‘needles the size of broomsticks'.”
The Filipina model is also featured on a Feb. 10 story by the New York Daily News. Titled “Fashion Week Fall 2011: Asian faces grace the runways this season, represent shift toward East,” it mentioned Danica as one of the currently prominent Asian models in the international fashion scene.
Meanwhile, Danica was also featured last Jan. 31 on another US fashion website, Refinery29, as one of its “10 Models to Watch This [New York] Fashion Week.” Their write-up on Danica reads, “Taking the crown in Ford Models Supermodel of the World Comp 2011, this Filipino girl's in good standing to make a splash at the shows.”
