Nell Robinson's Italian job

Pulse supermodel Nell Robinson is off to a stunning start in the new fashion season with the feature story for the Italian instalment of GQ magazine. Robinson was also busy shooting Faces of the Future for Allure magazine in New York before hitting Miami Beach for the avant-garde lingerie line, Agent Provocateur.

The Jamaican beauty is set to continue to attract the attention of fashion's top global brands and publications this month with a number of options including the preppy and classic Abercrombie & Fitch.

Robinson joins a long list of Pulse models who have been called to make multiple appearances for GQ magazine and this year Pulse colleague, Jeneil Williams, celebrates her debut with an outing for the French edition of GQ.

Since her breakthrough Arena Magazine cover where she was hailed as 'the body', Robinson has kept true to form, showing off her incredible figure and versatility. Not one to be shy about her signature features, Robinson readily admits that she is as confident and comfortable lounging in lingerie as she is courting couture.

"I have always been comfortable with my body and can honestly say I have never been really self-conscious. My years of performing with a dance troupe have made me very confident," she said.

Based in London with Select Model Management, Robinson has maintained a constant presence on the style and beauty radar. She has been featured in couture fashion sets for Vogue and Cosmopolitan as well as high-profile campaigns for British hair-care giants Toni & Guy - 'Bed Head', Rimmel Cosmetics, H&M, All Saints, J. Lo, among other top brands. She continues to climb up the rungs of fashion, raise her portfolio and impress a cadre of fashion editors, directors, stylists and photographers, including Ellen Von Unwerth and Matthew Donaldson for her German and Italian Vogue shoots.

Robinson was discovered in Pulse's Caribbean Model Search in 2002, where she won the Supermodel of the Caribbean title.
