Supermodel Niki Hurst

Nearly a decade ago, Niki was asked to do some modeling for L'Armoire as a teen in the local Melino Newspaper. They needed someone to wear prom dresses, the owner's daughter had to leave for University and Niki was living across the street as the beloved only child of two hard working bakers. Back then, she was still just little Nikole modeling a local brand proudly for her hometown favorite. Suddenly, she was helping nearly every business in Melino with advertising and making a pretty steady income for a sixteen year old. A super huge international modeling agency may have been forwarded her work by the Mayor after she was runner-up in the local outdoor shopping center's small-time Modeling Hunt, (to a judge's niece!) causing a Melino-wide upset. Everybody believed in Niki and she had always believed in herself, too. Things really changed almost overnight for Niki, with a few phone calls and both of her parents she was suddenly in Paris, Milan, Tokyo, London, New York... it just all sort of happened and now she was known aroud the entire globe as Niki Hurst, Supermodel. Cover after cover, runway after runway, flight after flight, a few blinks later and Niki walked 32 shows last week in Paris. That's typical for her and she has to fit her new acting work in between photoshoots all around the world. Her name has become synonymous with passionate elegance, grace, a deep humility, and for bringing Melino into the mainstream always maintaining it as her homebase. At the moment Niki is rocking shorter hair, for Summer, of course. A Melino rose, who loves living in the place that has made her who she has always been, a girl with big dreams running a minute or two ahead of schedule to account for the train.
