Kingston, Jamaica born Stacey McKenzie began her career in modelling while at high school in Toronto. Being told she was ‘too distinctive’ for the Canadian market, she headed to New York and was quickly discovered. She then moved to Paris, working with top designers including Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Christian Lacroix, before landing her first campaign for Benetton, with world-renowned photographer Olivier Tuscani.

Soon in demand on the international stage, Stacey worked in Paris, London, Italy, Austria, US and Japan. She has modelled for Alexander McQueen, Betsey Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, Todd Oldham, Michiko Koshino and graced the covers of Essence, Le Monde and Panache, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Fashion and Vibe magazines. She landed major campaigns for Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier, Mexx, Reebok, Todd Oldham, Barneys and Banana Republic. Stacey continues her career as a model and actor, while teaching runway, a pursuit that lead to the development of her own company, Stacey McKenzie's Walk This Way.
