R&B singer Kelis has been signed to a modelling contract with Next Models London.

The 'Milkshake' singer who is known for her eccentric style, has teamed up with the Special Bookings department in an attempt to break into the realms of the fashion world.

The 32-year-old, regarded by many as a fashion icon, already has some of the world's biggest designers queuing up to work with her.

Head of branding at AAB, Melanie Maw, who secured the deal with Next said: “Kelis has established herself as a fashion icon, alongside an amazing music career and it’s fantastic that in Next Models we have found an internationally like minded agency that understands and believes in her vision. This partnership will continue to push her to the forefront of fashion. Other agencies came forward but with Next we felt it was a natural fit and we are thrilled.”
