Bre from cycle 5, unlike other runners-up who signed with Top modeling agencies after their TV debuts, chose to book her own jobs by working exclusively with her management team.
We must admit she has been quite successful. In addition to walking in Alice + olivia's New York Fashion week show, she's also graced the pages of Essence and Vibe magazines and been named the spokesperson for Softsheen Carson. Not bad, for a girl who before the show, was living in a two bedroom apartment in Harlem, with her mother and two brothers.
