Stacey McKenzie
Stacey McKenzie went from being teased and taunted as a child to one of the world’s most recognized fashion models. After seeing a magazine spread of Jean Paul Gaultier and Madonna at six years old, she knew then that she wanted to model. Encountering rejection left and right by modeling agencies due to her unique look, McKenzie finally got her “yes moment” and was signed to USA Paris in France by an agent named Gaspard. Things literally came full circle for the beauty when she walked for Jean Paul Gaultier, hitting the runway right after Madonna.
