Does the name Palomija ring a bell? He is the digital alter ego of the British-American model Paloma Elesser who only in recent months has managed to star in the most talked-about fashion advertising campaigns of the year for brands such as Fenty Beauty, Puma, Converse or Glossier. If you still don't know who she is, read these five things you didn't know about this beauty.

It has Latin roots. Although she was born in London, her mother is American and her father is half Chilean, half Swiss. Maybe that's where the inspiration for your nickname on Instagram came from?

The model studied psychology and English literature at The New School, in New York, where she lives since she was 18 years old. After growing up in Los Angeles, the makeup jet set favorite decided to move to the Big Apple to study that career, not to become a model, which was something she started doing later to earn extra money.

She was discovered by the machine maker Pat McGrath who chose her to star in the campaign to launch her first and highly anticipated makeup line. Quite an event that many had been waiting for decades in the fashion scene. "For a model, the greatest honor is to get a beauty contract," Byrdie explained in an interview on the web.

It is vegetarian. Like many models and influencers of her generation, Elsesser does not eat meat, although we do not know if for love of animals, commitment to the environment or eating a healthier diet.

After succeeding in the networks with her popular Instagram account (almost 200,000 followers and uploading) and in the publishing world through her sportswear, creams, makeup and other campaigns, Elsesser has become one of the pioneers and managers of the new wave of inclusivity in the fashion and beauty sector that finally seems to be here to stay.
