The Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2009 shows have just wrapped up. One of the breakout models: High-cheekboned and full-lipped Dominique Hollington, the dark and lovely new face (and body) last seen in that fashion forward editorial in Out. Harlem born and raised Dominique stormed Milan and was featured in four—count 'em, four—shows including Versace and Vivienne Westwood.
These images at top and below are Versace, where Dominique was reportedly one of only two black male models on the runway. Work it out.
This image from the F/W 2009 collection from Les Hommes. The tailoring is impeccable and the pieces hang effortlessly on Dominique's frame. Dominique also walked for Vivienne Westwood and Fujiwara.
Dominique Hollington is repped by Red Models, home to some of the hottest new black male models in the industry such as Rod 2.0 faves Salieu Jalloh, Marcus Lloyd, Shawn Sutton and Wendell Lissimore.
And if you're looking for something sexy and stylish but more economical ...

Dominique is one of my favorite new models. His cheekbones and jawline are to die for.

Dominique is HAWT. He had a killer editorial in Vibe. I hope he will go far. Red seems like they are pushing him, I was hoping they wouldn't ignore him and concentrate on Wendell and Salieu.

I have to admit, if I saw him on the bus here, I'd have a hard time not trying to sneek a glance.

I have to be real...when he first came out i thought he was a beautfiul specimen...but the more i see him in runway shows, I feel like choking him....he hasnt had ONE show where he doesnt look like he's retarded in the face.....or bored. i dont understand these models nowadays...
and personal i think his tests are alot better than the editorials he's done to date, the only good test being what he has done with joseph bleu.

He is incredibly striking very beautiful...I hope he works on giving us more looks so that his career has some longevity

D, I totally disagree with you and find the phrase "retarded in the face" very not cool.
Dominique has very striking features and apparently the bookers at Red and the casting producers at Versace disagree. I will admit that I'm not a fan of the bored expressionless runway look but that is often what the designers are looking for. But most of the models (male and female) have the same look.
just my two cents
