Erin Wasson

Erin Wasson

We love a girl who can multi-task and that's certainly the case with model, muse and designer Erin Wasson.

Having just launched her own fashion range in the UK, we thought we'd delve a little deeper into what makes this lady tick, and declare her as an official 'One To Watch' for the future.

Many models these days are just known for strutting their stuff at particular shows, but Erin is one of the few who escape this category, as her reputation off the catwalk as a designer and stylist, is as equally celebrated as her moments on the runway.

She's done advertising campaigns for Michael Kors, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., J.Crew, Levi's, H&M, and Gap in recent years, indicating that she's a formidable force to be reckoned with in the modelling world.

Erin has also taken to the runway for the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Armani, Gucci and Balenciaga, in addition to walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2007.

You may recognise her as the familiar face of those Maybelline ads, as she has been the international face of the brand since 2002.

How she has time for anything else in her busy calendar is anybody's guess, but she can also count working with the likes of renowned photographers Steven Meisel, Mario Testino and Patrick Demarchelier in her career too.

Moving away from the modelling circuit somewhat, she teamed up opposite Justin Timberlake in a multimedia campaign for his clothing line, William Rast.

The campaign includes a series of short films directed by Jonas Akerlund, where Erin got the tasking role of playing Justin's love interest, "Birdie." Some women get all the luck...

She's also rumoured to have styled for best buddy and award-winning designer Alexander Wang in the spring of 2008, to critical acclaim and introduced her own line of jewellery called LowLuv into the mix in the process.

Her latest achievement as a designer has really cemented her as a name to know in the industry, as she gears up to launch her fashion collection 'Erin Wasson x RVCA'- in collaboration with surf and skate lifestyle brand RVCA.

While we see a lot of models rise to the dizzy heights of fame and become obsessed with playing games, Erin so far seems to have avoided falling into this Hollywood trap, and credits her Texas upbringing as the reason for her success.

She reportedly told Teen Vogue, "You can't take the Texas out of the girl. ... I wouldn't have gotten this far in the fashion world if I didn't have a little bit of that Southern hospitality in me."

You gotta love her!
