EXCLUSIVE: Jill Kortleve signs with IMG models
Jill Kortleve has signed with IMG Models.
The 28-year-old Dutch model made her runway debut at the Alexander Spring 2019 show McQueen and has since appeared in campaigns for the British luxury house. She has also become a staple at Chanel, recently modeling the bridal look at Chanel's Fall 2022 couture presentation, and Jacquemus.
"I grew up in a small town in southern Holland where I always had the feeling like I had to act a certain way or dress a certain way to fit in and to get people to like me," Kortleve told reporters. "It took me about 22 years to understand that I was in control of my own life. I made an important decision in my work: to stop focusing on my body weight."
