Rachel Serrano

Rachel Serrano of Wilhelmina Models is one of those rare unforgettable beauties--once you see her, you'll never forget her. The 20-year-old Miami native has been modeling since she was 16 after being discovered at a model search convention. In October 2008 she signed with Whilemina Models. “After I started modeling I hated it,” she says. “I would go to castings and go home and start crying. . . I wanted to go to a party, go eat dinner with my friends but no, I couldn’t because I had work.”

Her first real modeling job came from Kohl’s in early 2009. The 5'9" stunner has since modeled for Aeropostale, Payless, Nordstrom, Kohl’s, Garage.ca, and GUESS.

“Now that I am older and I understand, I’m thankful for [modeling],” she says. “I’m thankful that I have opportunities to see how other people live and experience a different lifestyle.”

With a full career in modeling, she still has time for her studies at Miami Dade College, majoring in education. Rachel has taken her new-found fame in stride. “This is what you see on TV. I’m living the lifestyle that girls wish they could live.”

Special thanks to this article from the student newspaper at Miami Dade College.

Katie Zeller

Do you believe love at first sight? We do. And her name is Katie Zeller.

Ever since we spotted her in a Kohl's ad four years ago, this cute and spunky Asian model has captured our attention. Her long dark hair, adorable smile, and cute nose make her irresistibly charming.

Katie is from Walnut, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. She graduated in 2008 from Walnut High School, then majored in Geography & Environmental Studies at UCLA. Katie works for the MC2 Model Management in New York and has modeled in ads for Kohl's, JCPenney, Delia's, and even McDonald's.

Lacey Nelson, Part 2

"Hey, I'm Lacey. I'm with Wilhelmina," says Lacey Nelson, aka the Current Kohl's Cutie.

This time, we'll let her introduce herself, in her own words.

I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Toronto in January 2009 to pursue modeling. I absolutely love the industry and have had so many amazing experiences thus far. I've worked mainly between Toronto (Elite Model MGMT) and Montreal (SPECS). Recently I traveled to Miami where I signed with Wilhelmina models. This summer [2010] I am venturing off to Hong Kong to model for Dreamodels for 3 months. My ethnic background is a combination of Chinese, Swedish, and Polish. I am 5'9" with brown hair and green-blue eyes. My goals are to continue learning more about the modeling industry and be able to travel around the world while doing so. I am open to trying new and creative shoots and shows.

Lacey even has her own website, laceynelson.com. It's beautifully designed and includes her biography, exclusive photos and her own blog. It's a great place to find out the latest news on her.
