Frankie Rayder - Fact Sheet

Profession: Supermodel

As a teenager, she went to Minneapolis, the closest big city to her hometown -- a move that would forever change her life. She was approached by a model scout, who saw in an instant what all of us know by now: if she went into the fashion industry, she'd be extremely successful. Her looks and attitude were exactly what was selling in those days. "Why not?", she thought, and decided to give modeling a try. Her big break came in 1992, when she met legendary photographer Steven Meisel. At first glance, Meisel fell head over heels in love with her singular appearance and cheery qualities. Such was his interest in the teenager's outstanding persona that he immediately booked her for a photo session, the first of many together. These first photos not only ended up in Italian Glamour magazine but she also made the cover. This was the big break she needed and it allowed her to go to Miami Beach, New York, Paris, London, and Milan, working for agencies such as Company, Women Model Management, Page 305, City Models, Take Two, Storm, and Why Not.
