American model Rebecca Leigh Longendyke takes her luxury-model, sassy-gal self to the Lone Star state, joining the boys club as a cowgirl at Saunders Ranch in Weatherford, Texas. V Magazine ponies up the cash for a fantastic fashion shoot styled by Gro Curtis for V140 Spring Preview 2023.

Adut’s career was launched when she closed the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2018 show in Paris. Many young people in fashion — or outsiders with lots to say — think the industry only turned towards models of color post-George Floyd and the rise of BLM.
