Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to marvelous model Jessica Gomes! Read her bio and then check out CC's interview with the sexy bikini babe!
Born and raised in Perth, Australia, modeling came as second nature to this stunning beauty who was first seen on the catwalk during Australian Fashion Week for designers such as Zimmerman, Jayson Brunsdon, Wayne Cooper, Alice McCall, Trelise Cooper and in New York Fashion Week for BabyPhat, Jennifer Lopez, H&M and Josh Goot. In addition to her editorials in Vogue, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Italian Glamour, Italian GQ, Biba and Summerwinter, campaigns that have selected Jessica to front their brand include Estee Lauder, Victoria's Secret, Adidas, Gap, and DKNY Denim.
Standing at a striking 5’9”, The Sports Illustrated exposure was the catalyst to her massive popularity in Asia, leading to the 2008 campaign of the LG Bikini phone, her own reality TV show "My Name is Jessica Gomes," and a third place win last year in Korea’s "Dancing with the Stars." Ms. Gomes was also named the Ambassador and face for Australian Iconic Surf brand Mambo.
When this Australian "It" girl isn’t jet setting between New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, South Korea, and Melbourne, she enjoys music, dancing, cooking, cafe hopping and fashion design.
