In the age of blogging and tweets, fame and Facebook, fashion industry savants British Vogue.com are the latest style authority to weigh in on Pulse's rising supermodel Jeneil Williams. The Jamaican model recently stopped to chat with British Vogue.com (BV.com) during a brief rest stop in London before heading back to her home base in New York.

Pulse Supermodel Jeneil Williams leads an international campaign for Nordstrom.

Interviewed for their new and hip 'Go See' section which turns the spotlight on the industry's burgeoning stars, BV.com lauds Williams as fashion's new 'it' girl and expresses admiration for her professionalism and stellar accomplishments (Italian Vogue, Aldo, Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Nicole Miller, Louis Vuitton, Loewe).

To appear in a Vogue editorial is one thing, something that Williams has done before, but to be featured with your own story as this year's fashion superstar is quite another. If there was any doubt about Williams' rocketing 'super' status, the fact that she was the only black girl on the just-concluded celebrity-studded annual Fashion Rocks charity extravaganza, held this year in Rio, speaks volumes. Indeed, it has been a superlative year for Williams, who was booked solid for the recent International Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Collections (New York, London, Paris).

When her Pulse model manager Romae Gordon caught up with her in New York last week, Jeneil was headed to meet the editor of American Vogue. Already a US Teen Vogue model, rocket science is not required to figure out what will come next. This season, Jeneil accumulated such major clients as US Teen Vogue, Bennetton, Lanvin, GQ, Gratzia, L'Oreal, Oyster, A, Essence, Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, Nicole Miller, Loewe, Rosa Cha, Tracy Reese, Paul Smith, Quarters, Giant, Steven Klein (for Rihanna's Italian Vogue cover test), Lilly Pulitzer, Rodeo, PPQ, Richard Chai, Fly, Amy Molyneaux ,Twenty 8 Twelve, Vena Cava, Top Shop, Diesel, Jawbone, Macy's, Baby Phat, L'wren Scott, Ruffian, Twinkle, Hannah Marshall and Narciso Rodriguez, among others.

Her latest stint saw her flying to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil two weekends ago to participate in the ultra exclusive 'Oi Fashion Rocks' event taking to the catwalk for the stylish Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Herchcovitch amongst celeb luminaries like the indomitable Grace Jones, Mariah Carey, P Diddy, British songbird Estelle, Ciara, Ja Rule, amongst others.

Jeneil also speaks candidly to BV.com on her career as a model quoting shopping and first dibs on the latest season trends as the best "perks of a very hard job".

"Modelling is definitely not as easy as it looks; it's hard work and you have to keep focused. Once the cameras are on, you have to give 150 per cent. However, once work ends, I try to find a little time to unwind and do things I really love."

Discovered in Pulse's Caribbean Model Search, Jeneil is represented and managed by the Pulse model agency through which she is additionally signed to New York Models in NYC, Ford in Paris, Premier in London and the Why Not agency in Milan. She continues to do her local and international agencies proud and holds the distinction as the only Caribbean model to be honoured in the history making "black girls" issue of Italian Vogue.
