YOUNG, sassy model Ginette Eduardo is just 17 years old, but the sensual stunner is more than ready for her close-up.

In today’s fashion world, it’s a sure sign that you’re on your way up when photographers get an adrenalin rush to get close-ups of you while on the runways.

Ginette is at that stage now, only, for some inscrutable reason she hasn’t blown up big on the ever-changing fashion and style radar, as yet.

And by some strange flip-flop logic, the very sexy Ginette didn’t get the judges’ nod at the recent Ocean Style international Model Search event. But she blew my mind as she paraded in a diaphonous sheath, an outfit tailored for ingenues.

And Ginette, comfortable in her own skin, evoked fashion essential mantra: Women must look sexy whatever the style.

Indeed, at Ocean Style’s showpiece event, Ginette carried a certain movement of style that was pruriently tantalising, which is not a bad thing in the high-octane modelling world, where creating an effect is everything.

Lexo lie?

All told, I would like to see Ginette in one of Heather Jones’ ready-to-wear collection of tropical prints and oh-so-sexy geometric designs.

And I could imagine how she’ll look in one of Peter Elias’ beguilingly sexy outfits?

This starlet is ready to shine and of course, she’s good for the close-up photo shoot.
