Top model Paloma Elsesser would love to be a poet, but there is the reality that she likes nice things. The next best lifestyle is to enjoy her life as a top model — which seems increasingly secure for the London-born daughter of an African-American mother and Chilean-Swiss father.
Elsesser grew up in Los Angeles, attending private school, before moving to New York and The New School to pursue psychology and literature. For money, Paloma waitressed at Jamaican restaurant Miss Lily’s.
Now a Brooklyn real-estate owner, Paloma, part of the IMG family, explains “. . . I’m not Malala. I’m just a [5.7” tall] model who’s a size 12” .

Top model Hana Jirickova wears her healthy sensuality in the October 2022 issue of Vogue Netherlands in a fashion story ‘J’aime la Plage’. Marian Nachmia styles Jirickova in images by Arran & Jules [IG] that remind us of the deceased Vogue Paris, now Vogue France.
