This week’s model to watch could fool you, that’s for sure. This Brit has a fierce Nordic look that is going to bring her attention in the near future. Her icy blonde hair, rosy cheeks, and piercing eyes thrill us and are making us fall in love with Caroline Mead.

Just getting her start, Caroline is signed to IMG and appears in the agency’s development board – meaning the models on this page are new and gaining experience. Even without the astounding resumes, IMG still endorses these girls and work with them to create their image and portfolio. Nestled under the wing of one of the largest international modeling agencies must be a pretty nice position to be sitting in; it’s another reason why Caroline should be on everyone’s radar.

This summer Caroline booked a great 8 page editorial in InStyle UK. The spread in the international shopping magazine breaks down the denim trend. Sub-headed with “Still doing slouchy stonewash? Sharply tailored indigo denim is the smart girl’s choice for summer.” Thank you InStyle for debunking the boyfriend look. It’s been done, done, done way too many times. We’re a huge fan of this look on Caroline. Her blonde hair and sharp makeup styling plays perfectly with the sharp lines of the ensemble. Check out these killer shots.

The editorial sells not only the great pieces she’s wearing, but Caroline herself. She’s showing she can hold her own on the higher end of the editorial world. This girl needs to get on the runway pronto – but being only 5’8.5″, she may run into some trouble in that realm. We can’t wait to see more work from Caroline and where she’s headed in the future. Keep an eye out!

You can follow Caroline on her twitter account, @CaroMead and see more of her portfolio on IMGmodels.com.
