From South Africa to the runways of America

Danielle Milner is a model and actress from South Africa who travels the U.S doing runway events. Danielle has modeled in shows across the U.S. including New York Fashion Week, LA Fashion Week, produced by “America’s Next Top Model” Cycle 19 winner Laura James, and multiple Magnifique productions for “America’s Next Top Model” Cycle 19 contestant Victoria Henley.

Milner has performed as a featured model for Henley at venues in Durham, Pigeon Forge, and Fayetteville.

She began her journey with online training at John Casablanca’s and Avanti and graduated as the top performing model in her division.

Having spent the first 19 years of her life in Johannesburg, South Africa, wherein major modeling opportunities were few and far between for petite girls, she immediately began crafting a plan to break into the industry upon landing in the state that would become her new home, North Carolina; another place with a small modeling market.

Soon after completing her modeling courses, she signed with Carolina Talent, however due to the limited local jobs, Milner chose to expand her location preferences and landed a spot in Plitz’s September New York Fashion Week showcase and followed with February’s Model X Showcase, where she eventually met Victoria Henley, who she would end up frequently working with as a featured model for her Magnifique productions.

More than just a career aspiration, Danielle has spent most of her life dreaming about becoming a full-time model, going as far as to put on fashion shows for her parents in her driveway every time she got new clothes, and dressing up as Karlie Kloss for Halloween when all of her friends were dressed as princesses.
