Stephanie B. Omotesho

FU interviewed Stephanie who has her mind set on a career in the fashion industry and is working hard to become a successful model and designer. Stephanie told us about her love of Fashion, what inspires her and her plans on going to college to study fashion design.

How long have you been modelling for?
Well I have only just started into the industry.

Who/What made you want to model? (ie: was you attracted to the money, free clothes, glamorous lifestyle etc)?
Um...I’d have to say I just love fashion. Modelling to me is a way of expressing clothes. As a model you get to wear the outrageous clothes that designers make only for the runway shows. Also models are also usually inspirations to others such as younger girls who aspire to be models. I would love to be an inspiration to anyone.

What do you do when you’re not modelling?
I like to design clothes. I have been designing for about a year under the label B.Destiny. I’ve always had a love for clothes and fashion. I saw a dress that I really liked and I drew it and customised so it would look perfect on me and I’ve been designing ever since. I’d love to dress Beyonce, because she’s such a major style icon.

Who is your favourite model, do you aspire to be like any model in particular?
Well I don’t have a favourite model, but Tyra Banks has definitely had impact on me. Also Emily Rose who has helped me into the industry by giving me advice and help.

What your best feature?
My smile.

What type of modelling would you never do?
Nude, topless or other types of unnecessary exposure

Obviously models have to have a tight body, what do you do to keep in shape?
I am in the gym. Gym. Gym. Gym. I’m still working on my body though. I try and eat correctly and drink lots of water!!!!

Do you think it’s harder for black models to get jobs over here (in the UK) than it is in America, Why do you think this is?
I’d say that the approach that agencies have towards black models [in the US] is very different to the ones in the UK.

Most people think that being a model is an easy job, they don’t realize that it’s a lot of hard work and new models face a lot of criticism and rejection are you ready for that? I am going through that at the moment. I’ve been to a lot of castings and agencies and have heard nothing. But I am not giving up! No way!

Who would you like to work with in the future?
I’d love to work with a major model agency or be a Rocawear model and do an international cosmetic advert.

What’s next for you?
I hope something stable and will get me started into the industry properly and I hope to find a way to start making and selling my designs. As well as this I plan on going to college to study fashion design.

Fame Family Di Getto Definition

FAME FAMILY (Di Ghetto Definition) is a dancehall group formed in late 2005. Originally started as a 4 piece in Kingston Jamaica, Horatio Rankine, Advance (Deejay), Tyzane (Deejay) and Popz the singer have been steadily gaining recognition in Toronto since 2006.
The term “Di Ghetto Definition” was created because the group members hail from Papine, Standpipe, WaterHouse, and Waterford (Jamaica) and also because they’re a product of the Ghetto Fame Family, a dancehall group.

After recording their first demo with Nitro Da CD Sound in Summer 06 and distributing it in the Jane and Finch community (Canada), Fame Family created a buzz through tracks like “Dat mi a seh” and “Hand to Mouth’
After singer Popz left to focus on a soccer career, the group doubled their efforts, dedicating themselves to their work and perfecting their sound. This has not only led to underground success with tracks such as “Plan fi Mek Money” “Wheel Off” and “Call Away” but Fame Family were also featured in an issue of YOUR WORD magazine in Canada. In such a short amount of time Fame Family have already opened shows for some big names in the dancehall arena including Beenie Man, Luciano, Delly Ranks, Lexxus, and Sultex 3000 and worked with a variety of artists producers and promoters including Mystic Sound, Rebel Production, D’nme, Bizmo and even Hype Radio in New York.
Their new single “Ez man a Ez” was recorded with Selecta/Producer Rebel Tone on his new “SLR” riddim and will be featured on Rebel Tone’s upcoming Mix CD. They are also recording a single on the ‘Dirty Harry’ Riddim.
From the slums of Kingston to the city of Toronto, Fame Family have come a long way and with their catchy phrases distinctive lyrics and vibrant performances soon everyone will know about Fame Family (Di Ghetto Definition)
