Pepper Martin Did you hear the news? There’s a fresh new face gracing Torrid.com! When plus size retail brand, Torrid launched the 2017 Face of Torrid Model Search last year, they added an exciting new twist: The brand put their trust in fans to selected this year’s winner! And with over 10,000 young hopefuls from across the nation eyeing for the role to be the next Face of Torrid, the search ends with New Jersey resident, Maria Gimena.
Congratulations Maria!!!
As part of her new role as the 2017 Face of Torrid, Maria receives a modeling contract and Torrid wardrobe! She will also host Torrid store openings and events as a brand ambassador, plus star in seasonal fashion campaigns, and appear on the brand’s social media channels throughout the year. Talk about a Swanky New Gig! Definitely a change of pace for this 24-year-old, health office administrator, who didn’t believe she would make a fierce plus size model.
“The fact that I was chosen out of a group of so many beautiful, strong and diverse women is beyond words. I’ve always had an interest in fashion. However, I never viewed myself as a ‘model’ because growing up, there were no role models in the media who looked like me or that I felt I could relate to. Now that the industry is finally changing, I am proud to represent such an amazing brand like Torrid.”-Maria Gimena
