We would like to draw your attention to a rather stunning creature. You probably already know everything there is to know about Cara Delevingne, but have you heard of Leona “Binx” Walton?
 
The all-American beauty –who was raised both in Hawaii and Tennessee– was signed to Next Model Management at the age of 17 and made her debut in the Marc Jacobs winter 2013 show.
 
Walton was first scouted at the age of 9, but wasn’t quite interested in modelling yet, as football was more of her thing. Luckily for us, she changed her mind some years after.
 
The tomboy adopted the nickname “Binx” after her brothers discovered Star Wars and decided she looked like the character Jar Jar Binks.
 
The grown lady has now become one of the most in-demand faces of the fashion industry. The 180 cm model has been featured in numerous campaigns, such as Celine and Chanel, and has walked in over 50 shows, including Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. This coming fall, she is once again expected to take over quite a few catwalks.
 
In her free time, Binx likes to skateboard and is an avid Hip Hop dancer. Her own taste in music ranges from Van Morrison and Lauryn Hill to A$AP Rocky and King Krule.
 
Keep an eye out for this one, as the fashion world seems to have quite a lot in store for her. In the meantime, follow her on Instagram for a sneak peek into her fabulous life: www.instagram.com/BinxWalton
