Jenny Shimizu\u2019s modeling highlight was being featured on a billboard in Times Square.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 44-year-old shot campaigns for Calvin Klein and Banana Republic during her career and is now a model booker.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s discussed how much she enjoyed working in front of the camera, revealing her best moment came after working with photographer Bruce Webber. She was astounded when she saw her portrait in the iconic area of New York City, and still finds it hard to accept.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the highlights was the fact that when Bruce Weber was taking pictures of me like a month later my friends woke me up in the middle of the night and said come to Times Square with us, so I went to Times Square\u2026 and saw a huge billboard of just me and a portrait of my face and it said underneath American Beauty. And I had never thought of myself as beautiful, I never really thought of myself as American because I was Japanese and I couldn’t<\/strong>… it was just one of these things where it was almost overwhelming,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Jenny got into modelling accidentally. She shot some pictures for fun and was then offered a contract with Calvin Klein, which amazed her.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s tried to embrace any opportunities which have come her way, even if they were scary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of my things in life has just been to find these challenges and the fear and whenever I sweat and it makes me uncomfortable, then I say yes to everything. And I’m really glad I did, it’s been a very interesting, wonderful experience… lots of learning too,\u201d she told StyleCaster.<\/p>\n

Come on Jenny, You know you’re a modeling ICON!<\/strong><\/p>\n
