Yes, she's a man and the finest runway coach and model consultant in the business. Alexander Jenkins, also known as Miss J, literally walks the walk of fashion. Jenkins was discovered by Monique Pillard, President and co-founder of the giant of model agencies, Elite Model Management, while dressed in full drag. Pillard was so impressed with his look and of course his walk, she signed him on the spot. After making his debut on the Gaultier (womenswear) show in New York he went on to become a big star in Tokyo. Since 1991, the catwalk diva has been based in Paris during showtime as the leading contact for casting and coaching models for the runway, answering to all the major players like Valentino, John Galliano, Bill Blass, Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld and the house of Nina Ricci with its ever-changing designers. Despite hailing from humble roots - he was born and raised in New York's South Bronx - his elegant gazelle-like sashay coupled with his wit and wisdom, his passion for the ready to wear and couture industry, and great sense of style made him popular with fashion greats and fashion wannabes. His friendship with one of his most successful protégés, the busty American supermodel, Tyra Banks, whom he met as a teenager, has made him a global television star. Starting out as catwalk coach (usually in heels and a skirt and blouse of his own design) on America's Next Top Model, it wasn't long before he became a judge. With the result he now travels the world as a highly sought after judge in modelling competitions and charity events.
