Kendal Brown of Northport is one of 14 contestants
competing this fall for the title of “America’s Next Top Model.”
Does Alabama have the look? We’ll see on Wednesday, as the 15th season of “America’s Next Top Model” begins.
Fourteen women will compete in the CW reality TV show, including Kendal Brown, 24, of Northport. A student at Virginia College in Birmingham, Brown graduated from Tuscaloosa County High School in 2004. (During taping, Brown was still 23.)
The winner, who will be crowned in late November, will receive a contract with IMG Models, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics and appearances in Vogue Italia and Beauty in Vogue.
Brown and fellow contestant Jane Randall landed their spots in the competition thanks to a photo contest on Tyra.com, official website of “Top Model” host Tyra Banks. Brown’s winning photo is shown at right.
Brown’s contestant bio lists a few of her favorites:
- Height: 5-foot-11
- Occupation: unemployed
- Favorite designer: Versace
- Favorite shoe: a comfortable one
- Must-have photo shoot accessory: my man
- Would never wear: animal print
- If trapped on an island, would bring: cell phone
Brown isn’t the first Alabamian to compete on “America’s Next Top Model.” In 2007, Samantha Francis of Pinson and Dionne Walters of Montgomery fought it out in season 8.
Video: “People think that no models are from Alabama,
