Discovered at Thirteen, in the Swimsuit Issue at Twenty
Julie Henderson's biography is a classic modeling apprenticeship told in dated steps. Discovery came at 13, at the Barbizon Modeling and Acting School of Texas, followed by local ads and commercials; by 16 she was signed to New York Model Management. After graduating from Katy High School she went to France to join Ford Models, then moved to New York City, where her magazine work began in Elle Girl and Teen Vogue and she modeled on the television show Behind the Velvet Rope. In 2002 came an industry honor — overall professional female model of the year at the Modeling Association of America International Convention — and then worldwide bookings and print work for magazines including Harper's Bazaar. Each step widened the market: Texas local work, New York teen magazines, Paris agency representation, and then the credit the biography leads with.
That credit is the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue: a first appearance in 2007 and returns in 2008, 2009 and 2010 — four consecutive issues, the sustained run that defines a swimsuit model's career, since the issue is rebooked year by year. The advertising record runs alongside it: Benetton and Gant named at the head of her biography, Pantene and Hardees in the later summary, and a 2011 turn playing a cowgirl in a Jack in the Box commercial, which shows the commercial side of the same career. Her agency list at the close — Models 1, Modelwerk, New York Model Management and Ford Models Europe - Paris — is itself a career summary in four names, spanning the American and European markets she worked between. For fashion blog readers, a swimsuit and commercial model's coverage centers on campaign and issue photography rather than premieres, and the blog search linked here gathers the Apparel Search posts about her.
