Teresa Lourenco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teresa Lourenco is an Trinidadian model. She was 14 and having been brought by her parents from the warm cocoon of life in the West Indies to the cool glistening beauty of Hamburg, Germany, it was only a matter of time before she was stopped and that life-changing question was posed. "Are you a model?" Two months after, the then designer for Givenchy, John Galliano saw her German comp card and lost his mind. She was flown to Paris, and swept into the fabulous vortex of Couture Culture. In other words, Teresa entered the business not from the ground up, but from the very tip of the fashion pyramid.
