Jeneil Williams is 20-year-old. She’s Jamaican born. She’s from New York Models agency.

She’s got this amazing shape from having been a junior track & field athlete. An injury made her give up that career. And it seems that her body’s kept some good memory of that period.

You know I like this kinda body. Jeneil’s body gets something deeply wild that photoshoot captures vividly.

I don’t understand that new thing to picture the girls topless. Sometimes, it fits the story. I first realized it a couple of months ago with this photoshoot of Kate Moss. I first thought it was bizarre. But it seemed to match the story. Alone (like) on a far away beach of the Caribbean. Yeah, I would take it naked myself. Why not? And Moss is a kind all by herself. She’s not conventional. She’s public, but she’s private too. She went thru scandals. At the same time she’s smooth: always well dressed, impeccable hairdo, sleek make up (that is, at the beginning of parties paparazzi shot her). And she’s Kate Moss. You know. That gives her a kinda legitimacy. If Kate Moss makes nude, it is that there’s a good reason behind it: it’s an isolated beach. It’s summer all year long. It’s too hot to wear even a swimsuit. I’d do it myself if I could. Yeah!!! All that bs I said a couple of lines earlier. I give it sense!

But the thing is now I see useless topless or bottomless girls everywhere. To present jewels (ok, it’s made to see the jewels better), to present gowns half up (to see the linen?), in the city, in the countryside, in castles.

Is that fashion is dry of new props?

This tim Ryan cardigan makes me think of bird wings. It’s like she’s going to open her wings and fly.

Jeneil is in such a good shape. Look at her back muscles, her arms, her abs and her legs. She looks pure power. It really changes a lot from other models who are skinny, with no muscles. To me, this shape seems healthy. I think, ok  she’s alive. She works out. She seems having a healthy lifestyle to sustain this muscle mass. Bündchen makes me fell that way as well.

Those poses makes me think about Naomi Campbell in “In the closet” clip of Michael Jackson.

The shoot is from Daniel Jackson. It’s been published in i-D Summer 2010.
