While Jessica Stam may be a household name for any fashionista worth her weight in Vogues, you might not know that this runway regular has a not-so-secret passion: music. Stam, as she's known in the industry, loves karaoke and is often spotted front row and center dancing to her favorite band The Virgins. Yet it's the Canadian-born model's piercing blue eyes and effortless strut on the runway, not her sing-along skills, that landed her at the center of the fashion world. Born in Kincardine, Ontario, Jessica was discovered by an agent in a local coffee shop in 2001 at age 15, and just a year later, famed shutterbug Steven Meisel named the beauty as his muse. But countless campaigns (Miu Miu, H&M), covers (Italian Vogue, British Vogue) and catwalks (Marc Jacobs, Gucci) later, Jessica still remains true to her original music-loving tune. And who can blame her? With a venerable who's-who list of fashion-crowd favorites, from Anthony Kiedis to DJ A.M., lining up to date the mannequin, Jessica proves that music and modeling go hand in hand.
