After Phyllis, the next Indian girl to make it at Yves Saint Laurent was
Kirat Rabiyat from Delhi.
In 1990, another Santacruz Catholic girl Marielou Phillips made it to
YSL and then Chanel where she modelled for 10 years. later Karl
Lagerfeld made her design the shoes at Chanel. She returned to India as
Chanel Marketing-in-charge and is now with in Bombay.
After Marielou, Ujjwala Raut made it huge. She was from Dahisar. Worked
very closely with Tom Ford at Gucci. She also became the face of Yves
Saint Laurent
And now we have a half Goan girl in Paris and New York with Elite
agency. Her name is Diana Penty (from Byculla)
All three : Marielou, Ujjwala and Diana were my models. Diana, being
just 20 still models for me
Goggle all three names to see their profiles
Cheers

Hi Wendell,
I read the nice Tribute article, you wrote about Phyllis Mendes.
I am a SantaCruz 'Girl'... she was older than me, but was friends with
my older sisters in their school days..
Santacruz (West) used to be a very Cultural and Homely and Warm, Goan
area and we'd always just meet in church or in the stores, or in any of
the Avenues. We used to have an incredible Santacruz, Cultural and
Dramatics and Musical Society (SCADAMS) and i think it still exists.
Anyway, it was nice reading yr article. I sent it to my sisters.. and it
wd be nice if the Santacruz people read it.
It was so Appropriate of you to write it.
Ciao,
Rose
