First black woman to land a coveted cosmetics contract with Estée Lauder(photos)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- She is the fashion model of the moment.

Ethiopian-born model Liya Kebede is known for her beauty and for breaking barriers.
Kebede is the first black woman to land a coveted cosmetics contract with Estée Lauder, which was a first in that company's 59-year history. "I think Liya's Estée Lauder contract was probably the shot heard round the world," said Ivan Bart, president of IMG Models.
Kebede is satisfied with her status. "I don't think I can ask for anything more," she said. Liya's break came when Tom Ford, former designer for Gucci, chose her for the runway when she was still a struggling model in Chicago.
