Those who tuned into Bravo's drama-filled season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" know all about the wacky former model turned single mother of two Danielle Stauub.
Her tenacious, over-the-top melodrama often stole the show as well as the attention away from her stunning daughter. Not to mention anyone else who tried to get any sort of attention on the show!
We all remember proud pageant-mom Teresa forcefully trying to land her young daughter a contract with Wilhelmina Models. Teresa stopped at no end by constantly returning to the offices with new pictures of her young toddler, whose face was painted with makeup and dressed up like a prom queen.
Who would have known that the real model of the show was Stauub's 15-year-old humble daughter, Christine. Christine just recently was signed with world's leading modeling agency IMG Models Worldwide.
The 5'10 high school sophomore may have not received much camera time on her mother's reality show, but her and the camera will soon become best friends. IMG's SVP and Managing Director Ivan Bart explains, "She came into the office and we were blown away!"
Possibly all of the focus on her mother's rocky past, took the emphasis of just how beautiful Stauub's daughter really was.
Not only is she stunning, but the budding supermodel also has brains too. Her mother recently told People Magazine, "My daughter reads lots and lots of books. So far, it's books and not boys!"
Christine has stated that she has never done any type of modeling before and is still getting used to the whole process of developing as a model, especially being guided by the best in the industry.
"I'm also getting used to industry people looking at my face so closely," she said.
It must help that she has the support of the greatest agents in the world. "She has amazing potential as a model. If we had seen her on the street we would have signed her on the spot," said Ivan Bart of IMG.
IMG is an international modeling powerhouse that is the management behind Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr, just to name a few of their famous faces.
Christine is still in the beginning of her test-shoots and development. The agents are so happy with their discovery and are already comparing her to supermodels Angela Lindvall (of IMG) and Christie Brinkley. While others are labeling her the next Kate Moss.
With all of her natural talent, the agents at IMG are hopeful that Christine will make her big debut at 2009's fall/winter fashion week! Way to follow in your mother's foot steps (for a positive thing!!!)
She may only be 15 and still in high school, but believe it or not many of fashion's leading ladies hitting the catwalk are still "teenyboopers"! If she receives the success that is expected of her, Christine will have a choice to tending to her well-accomplished studies or perhaps a prominent long-term career in high-fashion!
Karlie Kloss just freshly turned 17 and she has been seen on runways for nearly every major designer around the world including Calvin Klein, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, Nina Ricci, Carolina Herrera, Doo.Ri, Jill Stuart, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Matthew Williamson, Alberta Ferretti, Just Cavalli, Pringle of Scotland, Pucci, Obedient Sons & Daughters, Jean Paul Gaultier, J. Mendel, and Oscar de la Renta. Kloss has also appeared on countless covers for top fashion magazines & been named the face of a handful of luxurious fragrances like Bvlgari's Omnia Jade and See by Chloe. Kloss often is the opener or closer for runways shows and has been known to outshine fashion veterans nearly twice her age!
Other young catwalk queens include Katie Fogarty, Alisa Matviychuk and Taylor Momsen who are all 16-years-old.
