Ruby Aldridge

       Ruby Aldridge is a hard girl to pin down. Her schedule is such that it takes a few weeks to get a 10-minute phone call penciled in, and even then, when a time is agreed upon, her New York agent calls the day of to say she’s a little tied up — scrambling around searching for her passport. (It’s probably under a heap of clothes somewhere in her Lower East Side apartment.) But it’s hard not to forgive her. She’s only 20 after all, and isn’t that what all 20-year-olds do? Lose their passports. Except most don’t have to fly to Paris at dawn for a round of couture shows.
        Aldridge, who has catwalked for Prada, Gucci, Dior, Proenza Schouler and Miu Miu, starred in last year’s Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign and is one of the new faces of Valentino, is having a moment. This shouldn’t come as any surprise to the British, who have always had a fondness for the Aldridges: her mother is Laura Lyons, an American model and former Playboy Playmate, and her father is the famous English illustrator Alan Aldridge, whom Ruby describes as the love of her life. “He’s the best, and just the most amazing, creative, modest genius I ever met,” she gushes. You might have seen his cartoony, psychedelic artwork in books for the Beatles and on album covers for the Rolling Stones, the Who and Elton John. Ruby is fortunate to have inherited good looks and a creative spirit (she’s currently learning to play guitar) in equal measures, as have all the Aldridge offspring.
         Her siblings — there are seven in total — include her older half-sister, Saffron, the face of Ralph Lauren for about a decade, and her full sister, Lily, another model (yes, there are many models in this dynasty; as I said, they’re a fine-looking lot), who is a Victoria’s Secret Angel and recently wed the Kings of Leon frontman, Caleb Followill, in Montecito, Calif. And then there is her half-brother, Miles (no, not a model, but he is married to one, the 1990s supermodel Kristen McMenamy). Miles is a fashion photographer whose highly stylized work has appeared in Vogue Italia, Numéro and GQ.
         “It was awesome,” says Ruby of the time they spent working together on this fashion shoot. “He’s my brother so it’s crazy . . . and a little surreal. . . . A part of me was intimidated as he’s such an amazing photographer and is very serious when he works; he’s a taskmaster! There was no slacking off!” One gets the impression that slacking off isn’t in her nature anyway — her energy is palpable — and with passport finally found (“Oh my God, I was literally freaking out.”), couture week beckons.

Ms. Shillae was an excellent student throughout her young academic career… attending a prestige elementary school, and later becoming an exceptional student at one of Chicago’s top ranking high schools “Kenwood Academy”.
 

Unlike most teens her age who were trying to decide what dress to wear to the Junior prom or what color lipstick to use for their first date, Shillae was pursuing her modeling career taking numerous head shots and breathing life into cameras around the Chicago metropolitan area. With a developing interest in law and medicine the young star reached a turning point in her career that would redirect her view and reaffirm her dream of being a famous face to remember. Being challenged by a close friend and encourage by her mom Shillae auditioned for a print ad with Jet Magazine and was chose to be the “Beauty of the Week”, becoming the eye candy for admirers and the envy of young women around the country.
 

After graduating from high school in 1999, Shillae moved to Los Angeles to pursue a life dream of becoming a star. She enrolled at California State University in Northridge and majored in Business Accounting. Having developed a keen sense of determination, confidence; and a relentless drive to succeed, she quickly signed with a modeling agency and made her presence felt immediately in the industry becoming the print ad’s “gorgeous face” for Motions Hair Care Products one of the USA’s leading distributors of hair care products supplying markets in over 7 countries. She also booked numerous print jobs, including fashion layouts for various magazines, hair ads, and calendars around the world.


In late 2001 Shillae decided to take her career to new heights and pursued other media outlets… She landed roles in numerous Music videos working with Grammy Award winner Justin Timberlake, Multi Platinum Artist Ja Rule, and R&B’s heartthrob Multi Platinum Recording Artist Avant to name a few… Now having her feet wet behind the camera and successfully crossing over to the big screen this business savvy Diva transposed her talents to acting in 2002, landing
leading roles and features in numerous movies, television sitcoms, and commercials. Even after years of hard work and an extensive resume that can easily be a “blueprint” for aspiring young talents, she claims that “she is just getting started”!

Shillae continues to elevate her game, becoming aventure capitalist with business ventures ranging from real estate to small business development. She is an inspiration to many and has staked a significant claim in the entertainment print media world!

She soon became very talented at dance, and was in a number of performances such as the Nutcracker. Kloss has called her classical ballet training "a beautiful thing" that taught her how to move in the modeling world and was a great training ground for her runway walk.
When Kloss was 13, she was discovered at a charity fashion show in St. Louis. She was encouraged and inspired to model by one of her teachers in Webster Groves High School. In 2007, she signed with Elite Model Management.

After New York she went on to walk 20 shows in Milan, and 13 in Paris for the fall 2008 collections, with a total of 64 shows in a single season. Kloss found herself in the middle of a legal dispute when her former agency Elite was suing NEXT for allegedly stealing away its young star by offering her "improper compensation" to sign. Elite felt they were responsible for launching her career and booking much work for her. The case was eventually settled out of court.
