By Karib Nation, Inc.

OCTOBER 2022

FRANCINE JAMES

FRANCINE JAMES, one of the Caribbean’s top modeling stars from Pulse, is a former Camperdown High School student who was discovered in the Pulse Caribbean Model Search. The stunning beauty, who hails from Manley Meadows in Kingston, has landed major campaigns over the past few years for Bobbi Brown, Tory Birch, Esprit, and Nars Cosmetics.


She has done significant work for a host of European brands in Sweden and Denmark. A new slate of work is set to be released as Francine continues to excel in the international market, especially in the upcoming editorial for Mexican Vogue.
“Francine has a certain presence and command of the camera that makes it easy for editors to make the call for a cover appearance,” says her New York agent, Kady Davies of Women Management.


Her work for Volatile shows off another of James’ strong modeling assets, her flawless complexion.
James began her cover girl duties before she left Jamaica to pursue international modeling when she appeared on the cover of Suitcase magazine, a British travel and fashion glossy.


Covers for Britain’s Luxury retailer John Lewis ‘Edition’ as well as the Swiss edition of L’Officiel magazine would follow. A slew of high-fashion editorials for Elle, Cosmopolitan, In-Style, Modern Luxury, Marie Claire, and Glamour have taken James to all parts of the globe in pre-pandemic times.
She also had appearances for the coveted Vogue magazine – the Spanish and German editions.

About Karib Nation, Inc.

Hosted annually in June, the Caribbean Style and Culture Runway Showcase is a fusion of fashion, music, and art while showcasing the best of Caribbean talent. First held in June 2009 to commemorate and celebrate National Caribbean American Heritage Month, CSC captures the flair, glamour, elegance, and authenticity of the Caribbean. Furthermore, it creates a platform for budding and prominent designers and models to expand their brand, build their network, and display their creativity and talent to the diaspora. Most importantly, the CSC Showcase seeks to recognize and award Caribbean Designers, Models, Photographers, and Makeup Artists for the significant contributions made to the arts and fashion industry in the region. In the past 10 years, the Caribbean Style and Culture Awards have certainly evolved into an all-encompassing cultural extravaganza that sees attendance from Caribbean Diplomats and other Officials of the Diaspora. To date, our proudest moment was to be honored by the presence of the First Lady of Guyana, Mrs. Sandra Granger, who hailed the event as important in the recognition of the work of Caribbean artists in the fashion industry. As we continue in our growth, we aim to ensure that Caribbean artists are continually given a platform to grow and develop their talents.
