Nineteen-year-old Charo Ronquillo is touted to be the next Anna Bayle, the Filipina who was the supermodel in the ’80s. She is based in New York but plans to work (and live) more often in Paris.
When she was 17 years she won Ford Supermodel Of The World Philippines. As the winner, she’s immediately signed on as a CalCarries International Philippines model. She’s done runway shows for Nanette Lepore, Lacoste, Zaldy for L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Tory Burch, Norma Kamali, Sisley, United Colors of Benetton, Armani Exchange and Kenneth Cole, among others.Only a year and a half after becoming the first Asian model to make it to the top three in the Ford Models’ Supermodel of the World competition, Ronquillo has shot for top retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Ann Taylor, BCBG by Max Azria, Catherine Malandrino, J Crew. She has recently done “go-sees” for Prada, YSL, Marc Jacobs, Richard Chai, Jil Sander, Philip Lim, Valentino, Badgely Mishka, Issey Miyake and Vera Wang.
Unfortunately I didn’t find a lot of photo’s of her (anyone?) but found a few at Asian Models Blog.
