Kia Wilson: Fashion Model

Kia Wilson

A celebrated woman of outstanding talent, K. Wilson is a native to Dallas, Texas. She is an ambitious model with a lot of drive and passion when it comes being a top-notch model. In reference to experience, it can be said that she has experience in the business however; her wit, natural talent, determination, and motivation gives her skills that make her formidable to her more "seasoned" counterparts.

 When asked about what she hopes to accomplish she responded by saying, “I want to get signed with an agency and be able to walk the runway for top designers here in the United States and across seas. Kia also wants to be a name that everyone knows. 

Her aspirations to become a model started when she was a young girl. Everyone always told her that she would make a great model, so at the age of seventeen she applied for a agency. She was selected to join the agency however the agency was not a right fit for her. It turned out the agency was scam and just wanted to make a profit off of young people’s dreams. 

Her dreams were shattered temporarily but it did not stop her from pursuing her goals . Heartbroken maybe ...but she continued on her journey with her head held high. Having this experience caused her to become a Independent Model she began doing her  own research. After much research about the Fashion Industry and similar encounters with other agencies she was bound to figure out the right path to take. In her spare time she watched America’s Next Top Model and learned as much as she could from Tyra Banks a well known international model.

 She prays that all of her efforts will not be in vain, and she cannot wait to see what her future holds. Kia has been working diligently on her own and she has met some amazing people. She is a model who is confident and embraces her looks. Her dream in life, as any other human being is to be a star. However, the difference between her and those who feel the same is that she made the decision to go for her dream of being a model.

 This hasn't always been a easy path and definitely hasn't been the most profitable. Like any other person with goals and aspirations you can't put a price on a dream. Kia dreams of one day becoming a professional international model and landing a major contract with a well known agency. Eventually with hard work, Faith and Determination her goals will be met.

Although she lives a busy life style her number one priority is God and then her son. Aside from modeling Kia is also a Praise Dancer she started off dancing at church and soon people began to request her to perform at private events such as fashion shows, weddings and social events.  

A lot of models in the fashion industry can be arrogant and stuck up but not this model. Kia wilson has a humble spirit and she puts God first in everything that she does. During the weekday she is a elementary school teacher and by the weekend she is a Runway & Print model. 

On social media you can always find Kia posting positive and inspiring statuses. She is a rare find and we are truly honored to feature her in our blog. We at K.M. Speaks wishes Kia much success and we look forward to seeing her become the international model she desires to be. To learn more about Kia check out the interview below!

What are some of your accomplishments?

Some of my accomplishments within the industry include being a tour model for GPS Productions and The Beautiful You Fashion Tour. I've also had the opportunity to be a model for The Real McCoy Photography Digital Billboard, Raul Torres Fashion Week Top Model 2014, Dallas Plush model of the Year and also a feature model in MDPModels Magazine. I have also been Spokesmodel and Brand Ambassador for Luxe and Curves.

 In the past I also had the opportunity of being a Model Coordinator and Senior Coordinator for three shows and a runway coach. In the future, I hope to continue expanding my brand and networking to know more people that share the same goals as me. One can expect me to be fully trained, on time, and a professional model with a splash of fun and humor when working with me. I'm more than just a model; I'm a Role Model!

What advice can you give to new models starting their careers?

I would say do your research. Not every company that says they are an agency is truly an agency. In addition, you have to invest in yourself. You cannot expect others to believe or invest in you if you will not do it for yourself. Just remember that a no is not the end. A no just means that something better is waiting ahead and that no is one-step closer to YES. One last thing is nothing happens overnight. You have to have patience and put in the work.

Who are your top 5 favorite designers?

 My top five designers would have to be Gege Gilzene II of G3 Concepts, Rachael Al-Mahdi of Luxe & Curves, Rachelle Rocky Jackson of Rocky J, Samantha Adams of Sambie Fashions, and Terica Lee of Know More Clothing. This are designers I have worked with and are amazing at what they do. The each have their own individual unique style. What I love most about each of them is that they are humble and does everything in a spirit of excellence.

Do you prefer print or runway modeling more?

 I love doing both but if I had to choose one I would say runway. I love being able to walk down the runway with confidence and display someone’s designs. I’m a walking hanger for the designer and bringing their design to life. Doing runway allows for me to work with different individuals and I am also able to learn from other models as well.

What would you change about the fashion industry if you had the power?

 If I could change something about the fashion industry, it would be to unify everyone with in the industry. Just imagine how much of a force the industry would be if we all come together. There is enough for everyone to shine if we all can work together.

Where do you see yourself in two years?

 In 2 years I see myself signed with an agency. I also see myself giving back to the younger generation of those wanting to become models and teaching them the do and don’ts within the industry.

If you could model in any country where would it be and why?

I would want to model in France. It has always been my dream to go across seas and model.

If you could model in any fashion show what would it be and why?

 I would want to model in New York Fashion Week. To walk the runway of New York Fashion Week has always been a goal of mines. I will not stop trying until that goal has become a reality.
