Pulse supermodel Kimanee Wilson is keeping busy for the 2008 Christmas season, dominating fashion campaigns, catalogues and magazine covers.

Jetsetting to various locations, including New Mexico, the beauty is celebrating the release of her campaign work for major United States retailer, Target, and was featured in London's premier fashion catalogue, The Next Directory. These jobs were in addition to the model's stints with regular key clients Nordstrom and JC Penny.

Kimanee, a Target favourite, is just what St Nick himself ordered for Christmas in the latest campaign. Saddled with gifts and decked out in her red Santa hat and pearl accessories, Kimanee's campaign is on display in Target outlets across the US. For London's Next Directory, the model headed to New Mexico where she shot several pages for the major fashion catalogue.

Excited

"It was my first time out there in New Mexico and we went all the way out into the desert for the shoot. It was a long drive, but the location was worth it. I love shooting on location, capturing a scene, being in different places. I get excited whenever I get a chance to go somewhere I've never been. Seeing new places is the absolute favorite part of my job," she said.

The Christmas catalogue is currently in distribution across England and Europe.

The model is also making her presence felt in the Caribbean, as she crowns this month's edition of SHE Caribbean. In pinks and yellows, the Pulse model grabs not only cover credits but also 11 fashion feature pages, sporting looks for UK's Gavin Douglas and the Caribbean's Kuumba.

Rich regality

Sporting large cornrow braids, the fashion forward cover look is ode to a proud Nubian Queen and Kimanee's full lips and flawless face exude rich regality. Kimanee also told SHE Caribbean reporter Katherine Atkinson that her rise in the world of fashion and how she balanced career with family and spirituality.

The Westmoreland native dived head first into fashion in 2001 and has since graced the pages of some of the world's most fashion-forward publications and worked for some of the industry's key clients, including Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Chloe, Nicole Miller, Cynthia Rowley, Oscar de la Renta and as well as the prestigious Roberto Cavalli.

Eight years later, she is still holding her ground as one of the Caribbean's top models. "I am on a quest to be a better person, a better human being and it helps that I'm not your typical model. I don't do any of the typical things you hear about; I've never done drugs, I am not a party girl. I am such a homebody," she said.

"I have a 12-year-old sister and a lot of the decisions that I make, I make thinking that she is going to follow me, so I try not do the things that I wouldn't want her to do."
