Having a famous name is an added asset in the modelling world

THE intricate makings of the modelling world are a looking glass that very few get to be a part of.

There have been the lucky few regular people picked from relative obscurity — from places like an airport lounge, who are then transported to the wonderland of fashion houses, couture and catwalks. Usually these hold an ethereal beauty like no other. They are the Kate Moss of the world.

Then there is the grand stature of one’s name. Let’s face it, a recognised surname can open the hinges of even the heaviest of doors. Nepotism is nothing new to the fashion world; the greatest design houses have been built on it.
