She was ready to set her sights higher and go for the Miss Estonia title, but the offer to fly to Milan to jump start a modeling career seemed like a more glamorous and lucrative option.

She received exposure on the cover of magazines worldwide, such as L'Officiel and Vogue (France) in 1997, Elle (Australia), Image (UK), Madame Figaro, Numero France, Vogue (France), and Vogue (US) in 1999.

Liya Kebede
Born January 3, 1978. Kebede was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and as a young woman, did modeling in her native country. She has remarked that the modeling industry in that country is quite different from the European catwalks from which she is now seen ubiquitously. In Ethiopia, she had to provide her own shoes for each runway show. While in school at the French Lycee, a film director spotted Kebede and introduced her to a French modeling agent. After completing her studies, she moved to France to pursue work through a local Parisian agency. After a short time, Kebede relocated to New York City.
She has been seen on the covers of Italian, Japanese and Spanish Vogue, V, French, Flair,iD and Time's Style & Design. She is one of a very few ethnically African models featured in major fashion photo shoots and runway shows. She is often used in haute couture and other high-fashion clothing campaigns, as well as Victoria's Secret. Kebede has been featured in ad campaigns including Gap, Yves Saint-Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana and in Spring/Summer 2004 ads for Escada and Louis Vuitton. Kebede was recently named the newest face of Estée Lauder cosmetics, the first black person to serve as their representative in the company's 57-year history. This compelled The New York Times to write an article about how Kebede has successfully triumphed over the challenges that face models of color in today's industry. Kebede has also established herself amongst the ranks of fashion's elite on the New York - Milan - Paris runway circuit. Her big break came when Tom Ford asked her to walk in exclusive for his Gucci Fall/Winter 2000 fashion show. In 2005, Kebede was appointed as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.
