AMANDA Hendrick has been named as one of New York Magazine's "heavy hitters" in their Ten Models to Watch for Spring 2013.
Previously winning Scotland's Most Stylish Woman at the Scottish Style Awards in 2011, the Airdrie-born model first rose to fame at Harvey Nichols' spring 2009 show and went on to feature in numerous shows in spring 2012, including Balenciaga and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Now signed with New York model agency Women Model Management, the 22-year-old has already sparked controversy during her career when pictures of her on a clothing website were banned because she looked too thin.
Online retailer, Drop Dead Clothing, was branded "socially irresponsible" for posting the images in 2011, after the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) acted on a complaint that the model "looked anorexic" when posing in a bikini.
Drop Dead Clothing's response at the time was that the size-eight model was "representative of young people" and "just a naturally thin person".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
