Ethiopian-Canadian model, Senait Gidey features in the March editorial of Marie Claire US magazine looking elegant. Themed “Carry The Day,” Senait showcases some of the trendy bags that will be the it accessories this spring. The photo shoot for the feature was shot by Brooklyn-based photographer, Ben Grieme.
About five years ago, the black model started her modelling career in Canada with Elmer Olsen Model Management. A year later, she moved to New York and was signed with IMG Worldwide. Since then, she’s walked some of the most coveted runways from New York to Paris, and much more.
In a 2013 interview with Harpers Bazaar Magazine, the young model was asked to describe her feelings about the diversity on the runways. And if she felt a change.
“It was so amazing to see all the black girls that walked in shows at fashion week this season. I really felt like things changed—you could really see more diversity at all the shows. I love that things are evolving, and we’re seeing it first hand,” she told Bazaar.
Asked about the favorite place she had travelled for work, she said: “Capetown, South Africa was probably one of the best trips I’ve ever had. It was when I first started modelling, I learned a lot on that trip. It’s incredibly beautiful there—the beach, the sunsets, the landscape, it was all unreal.”
