Neelam Johal is the new girl on the scene and is fast becoming the one to watch. Johal is a young and stunning 18 year old Indian Model and in an industry that has suffered previous criticism over racial diversity, she is a welcoming and refreshing sight. Neelam Johal is conquering the fashion circuit with a real gusto and her first and most notable platform was when she first walked creative genius Christopher Bailey's Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2014 Runway show with the likes of new age supermodels, Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne.
With her distinctive model features, the runway is hers to claim and earn the title of 'supermodel' with the likes of Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Joanna Smalls, Karen Nelson, Coco Rocha and Chanel Iman. Neelam clearly made a lasting impression as Christopher Bailey cast Burberrys first Indian model in their Iconic Spring/ Summer 2014 campaign alongside actor Jamie Campbell Bower and the young Lady Jean Campbell, shot by the legendary Mario Testino. After seeing the shots from the campaign not only am I left with a serious case of wardrobe envy and wavy-hair envy, but I am also flawed at how worldly this young 18 model year old looks and its no wonder Models 1 snapped her up. This young model is certainly one to watch...
