Erin Wasson

Quotes

“I’ve had so many requests to return that I feel compelled to continue modeling. Despite all the hard work, I’m so happy to be back”!
- Erin Wasson

Why Is She Famous?

Erin Wasson appeared in commercials and on the catwalks of the most famous brands in the world. She also appeared on the covers of Vogue, Flair, Marie Claire and had photo shoots with important photographers as Mario Testino, Patrich Demarchelier, Mikael Thompson, David Sims and Peter Lindbergh.

Born January 20, 1982, this Irving, Texas, native has a charming, "undone" edge to her classic beauty. Erin Wasson’s wardrobe of vintage finds, oversize pieces, and denim cutoffs creates an enviably effortless style—in her own words, "frumpy sexiness."

After winning first place in Kim Dawson's model search in 1999 (her father entered her into the contest), Erin made her fashion world debut in 2000, when she appeared on the Paris and Milan runways for Costume National, Balenciaga, and Givenchy. In top model form, Erin's face quickly graced the covers of Allure, Harper's Bazaar, and French Vogue. By 2002, the dirty-blonde 20-year-old was fronting ad campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, D&G, and Maybelline. Earning a reputation as an incredibly hard worker, Erin showed serious stamina walking the runways while appearing in campaigns and on covers for the top names in the business—from Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Valentino, and Jil Sander to H&M, Gap, Victoria's Secret, Vogue, Esquire, and ELLE. In 2008, Erin appeared in a series of short films for William Rast alongside the brand's co-founder, Justin Timberlake.

Never content with being just a pretty face, Erin has shown off her creativity in several behind-the-scenes ventures. Even before meeting the hazel-eyed stunner, designer Alexander Wang looked to her signature style for inspiration. So when the two serendipitously met in the elevator of the East Village apartment building where they both lived, it was friendship at first sight and Erin became a muse and stylist for Wang. She's also trying her hand at design with the launch of LowLuv, a collection of body chain jewelry inspired by tribal and African art, with a hint of Joan of Arc. Turning to accessories and clothing, Erin lends her unerring taste and carefree sensibility to a multi-season line for RVCA beginning this year.

Since moving from New York, Erin has fallen hard for the laid-back lifestyle of her California home, where she can walk her dogs, hang with her boyfriend, and drive. Erin also loves vacationing in Hawaii, surfing, and snowboarding—she even has a half-pipe in her backyard.

Oftentimes, Selita didn't even have shoes to wear to Georgetown primary school. Yet Selita's family, and her mother in particular, encouraged her development through exposure to extra-curricular programs. Eventually, the young Selita Ebanks found herself moving to America, and she settled on Staten Island. She proved to be a good student in high school, and was later accepted into Columbia and New York University. But Selita's life had already taken an unexpected turn which would put her higher education on hold.
