Joan Smalls is a person who you can talk in depth about any issue. She is well spoken even though her first language is spanish. Her ethnic background consists in being Puerto Rican and West Indian (black Virgin Islander). After doing the Ports1961 campaign, she was elated to be given the chance to return to her home land, Africa. Those photos of her are so beautiful. That is what you call elegant beauty. I must say, after viewing Diane Von Furstenberg latest runway show this month. Joan Smalls truly tapped in to seducing with her eyes. She was and looked amazing for that runway show.
