DISCOVERED: At her mother's suggestion, Esther took a shot at modeling when she was still a school girl. Esther entered and won a local competition for a teen magazine and then represented her country in a model search that took her to South Africa. From there, she jetted on to fashion mecca Milan. She signed her first contract with the Take 2 Agency. At the age of 15, Esther moved to Barcelona to start working there. During her first New York collections, she was booked by twenty designers in just two days.
"I wanted to be a criminologist (but) my mom was always telling me that I should be a model," she recalls. "I did the first job just...to try something. And then I (felt) like it's the thing that I really wanted to do," she says.
