Ford Models Selects SuperModel of The World

By Tina Bacon

Who is Katsia Damankova?

According to the Ford Modeling Agency, she's the hottest girl in the world.

After a 39 country model search, the judges unanimously voted on Damankova, a 17 year old from Belarus, as the winner of their 25th annual Super Model of the World contest.

"She has this very haunting presence, thoughtful eyes and a quiet, calm beauty," says Jade Robertson, a "new faces" agent at Ford models.

"People in the street are in conversation with someone else, but they're staring at her. She's definitely a girl you're drawn to."

Katsia was discovered in a Belarus cafe as she sat doing her homework over a cup of coffee and was chosen by a panel of 20 judges, including Katie Ford, the agency's CEO, and Eileen and Gerry Ford, the company's founders.

Damankova's prize includes a $250,000 contract with Ford models and a four-page Nexxus ad that will run in both Vogue and Allure magazines.
