Modeling Came Early
Anderson was born in 1992, making her 24 years old now. She was born in London, England and was raised by her parents. People who know Anderson and her family often comment that she got her good looks from her mother, Beverley Anderson. Anderson was just another girl, until she was spotted by a scout on her way back from school. She was offered a chance to become a model and Anderson took it. She was just 15 years old when she started modeling. Her smoldering good looks and her lithe figure caught the eyes of the modeling world professionals, and soon she started modeling for prestigious designers.
Speaking Her Mind
Over the years, Leomie Anderson has worked for many big name designers like Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Chloé, Moschino, Loewe, Giles Deacon, Paco Rabanne, and Topshop Unique. She has also shot for magazines like Italian Vogue, Dazed & Confused, i-D and Teen Vogue. This body of work gave her the credibility and confidence to walk in several Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows. Anderson has just the right figure to be a runway model. She is 5’ 10’’ and has a slim build that is ideal for carrying off the creative styles she promotes. Anderson is of African origin and has spoken out several times at the unfair treatment meted out to African models. She has complained that make-up artists fall over themselves to cater to white models, whereas she and other African models have to carry and apply their own make-up.
