Ford model Tomiko Fraser is an urban girl with natural grace and a killer smile. She was spotted by a top model scout whilst working in a downtown fast food joint. Given this opportunity, she decided to swap burgers for high fashion!

Soon she had Chloe, Chanel, Vera Wang, Vivienne Westwood and Emmanuel Ungaro runway shows under her belt. Famous photographer Mario Testino then photographed Tomiko for US Vogue and many more shoots with top glossy magazines followed. To date she has been photographed on more than one occasionfor the pages of Vogue, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. You may also have seen her in shop windows and on billboards for Gap or Tommy Hilfiger.
