Veronica WAS FUN! She knew how to read the room. Smart, sassy, seductive. She was irreverent and flirtatious, but knew when poise and elegance was called for. Veronica was one of only a few girls who could contort to the haute couture poses in a RTW presentation, thus elevating the look she was wearing to high style. Veronica was skilled. Period!
Veronica Webb: She was one of the biggest names in fashion for at least 10 years! Veronica was that woman! She was advised by Iman and hung around the big money ladies: Cindy Crawford, Yasmeen Ghauri, Christy Turlington. She lived in New York City but traveled to Paris, France and Milan,Italy for the big shows! Veronica Webb ( glamorous and attractive when she was young)! She was always so neat and funky! Revlon gave her a contract for several years to sell makeup to women of color ( she was paid several million dollars). I am sure she banked some of that money!
Veronica Webb: She had a Revlon contract in her younger days! She has been a writer and a top runaway model! Veronica Webb like Cindy Crawford and Iman is a legend in fashion!
Thank you for posting this! Some people think back then the only famous black models were Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell which is WRONG. 🙄 Actually there were other famous black models of that time too and Veronica Webb was one of them. 😍❤️
Veronica Webb was a style icon in the late 1980's and 1990's. She was never the most beautiful model ( Yasmeen Ghauri was ranked high in that department). Veronica Webb was the total professional. She sold the clothes and had incredible style. She had a Revlon contract in her younger days!
Veronica Webb: A legend in runaway fashion. She had a Revlon contract in her younger days! Cindy Crawford and Veronica Webb were the big names at Revlon for a couple years! Many people have no idea that she married a white dude worth over 120 million dollars ( George Robb) Veronica divorced the dude but has two children with him!
Veronica Webb: She is one of the top 50 runaway models in the world in the last 50 years! Veronica Webb learned much from Pat Cleveland and Iman! She made millions and worked for Revlon. I loved to see her and Cindy Crawford together when both worked for Revlon ( many years ago)! She was fly, dope and glamorous in her younger days ( so chic Veronica)😊!
Veronica is one those ladies, born to walk runaways. A incredible body ( she is still a jogger)! She was so stylish when she worked the Paris, France and the Milan,Italy Shows!
Her career hit the stratosphere, once she got that multimillion dollar contract with Revlon Corporation! She lived Paris, France when she was young! Designers over there loved and fawned over her ( especially Karl Lagerfeld)! She was also big at the New York City shows!
Why thank u RC for making me love Veronica Webb even more. Y'all's music is so one of my favorite sources for house music! And shut your mouth at 3:22 with Naomi Campbell!!!! On point and having fun......
Another great video! Top notch soundtrack as usual. Love the "Pat Cleveland-esque"influence of her presence on the catwalk...and how she's all about the clothes, the designer's mood and THE moment!...
Veronica Webb: She was trained to model by a famous North African designer (Azzedine Alai). Veronica Webb always was professional and chic in her runaway days! Her poses and stylish entrances were raved about by the top designers! Revlon wanted her not because she was the most beautiful model! Veronica is classy and knows how to market herself and products! Veronica got the Revlon deal because she was well spoken and could sell makeup to afro-american, latino and asian females! Revlon used her to sell makeup to American women of color!
Christy Turlington: "I just wanna point out that YOUR career is on video and MINE is on film." Veronica Webb: "You're so sweet Christy......and NOTHING has gone to your head." CT: laughs. VW: "But mine IS National News and I wrote the show." CT: "We'll just have to see....when they come out!!" VW: ".......It's true." Catwalk 1995
I've heard that tokenism was the basis of Naomi and Tyra's media perpetuated feud---the idea that there can only be one black supermodel at a time. Naomi fell for it, unfortunately; however, I've never heard of Veronica pitted against Naomi or Naomi pitted against Iman. I wonder if Tyra got under Naomi's skin for some other reasons and I wonder why the media ran with it.
Good Analysis, I think that Tyra and Naomi were specifically pitted against each other because they actually resembled at that point in time. Naomi was also pitted against newcomer Brandi Quinones at that time as well. By the time Naomi and Tyra were forced to fight over the “top spot”, Veronica has already secured a major cosmetics contract and expanded into film, acting and even wrote a book!!
Yeah I also think Tyra generated some of that press herself . She was the last of the supermodels but the first to take on the internet. No one had more command of how to generate likes and tweets like Tyra. She knew that she could play off that narrative and play victim. The one thing Tyra hated was that she knew she was Miss Big Britches in the US but Naomi was international stardom. Sometimes I think both of them kinda played everyone while making their coin. You are right there was never any problems when it came to Iman Bev Johnson or Veronica and Naomi getting along .
Veronica has a street edge 2 her very NYC ,would beat their ass and a ny minute .They knew better then to bring the IT girl tude to her ! I think her people owned the Pink Tea Cup in the VILL(popular soul food spot ).
@@jaysonshift4392 Veronica was from the east side of Detroit and would let you know in a heartbeat! Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother was a nurse! Veronica initially came to NYC to study art at Parsons!
Veronica Webb was one of the top runaway models in Paris,France! She worked for top designers like Karl Lagerfeld! I think Cindy Crawford and Veronica Webb had the same fitness trainer in their Revlon Days!
Veronica Webb was popular among Afro- Americans, when she was in the Spike Lee Movies! I am Honduran- American (born in Arizona)! I followed her career from 1990-2010. She had a Revlon Contract and was a top runaway model!She is lighter-skinned ( due to her mixed heritage) but she is mostly african heritage ( some Native and European in her family)!
Veronica Webb looks like there is a diversity of ethnicity! Many afro-americans ( in the United States since 1619) have mixed ancestry. Her mixed ancestry is maybe why she married two different white males or maybe it was about economic security!
Veronica Webb: She had a Revlon contract in her younger days! She used modeling to enhance her career as a writer! She now works in some facet of the fashion industry with her Italian-American second husband😄!
If you look very closely you can see Veronica in the Perfect Way video by Scritti Politti, she’s just a blurb in it, then she’s gone. But there’s no mistaking Veronica 😍
Before i always get confuse with veronica webb and patricia velasquez i mean they have somekinda same facial similarities but veronica has more african genes while patricia is more inca genes in her
Veronica has lots of Native- American Blood, that is why she looks Puerto Rican Veronica has mentioned Native-American and European Blood in her family. She is majority West African Heritage, though! Patricia Velasquez is from Venuzuela! She is mostly Native- American Blood ( Inca). Those are the people who were there before Spain! They were there 30,000 years before Christopher Columbus!
Veronica and Patricia Velasquez have been compared for years! Veronica has some Native American DNA. Patricia is majority Native American and born in Venezuela. Veronica Webb was successful, because her racial background is multiethnic!
She's definitely BLACK and identifies as such. I know that most of the school systems don't teach about the realities and truths of African American history, but many of us come in various shades because of the sexual abuses that occurred during slavery. Our heritage is thusly mixed, but that mixture (in AMERICA) has never and does not exclude our racial identification. You need to speak and listen more carefully to African Americans. Your mind would be opened.
@@irinka_kat Sure the 90s had a handful of models that did great in print ads but were mediocre on the run way. Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford are prime examples. But that decade also had the best cat walkers ever. IMO even Yasmeen is better than Naomi. At least some of the 90s models could compete with Naomi on the runway. While the models of today can't hold a finger to Naomi.
