New York Fashion Week is now history, but Pulse and the Caribbean's top-male model, Oraine Barrett, will remember it for some time to come.

It was the season when his star shone brighter than ever and, in fact, took a big new upward trajectory. While he was walking the runway for the world's top designers, his image was popping up all over New York City - indeed all over the world. His new Liz Claiborne, Baby Phat and John Bartlett campaigns are now out in fashion magazines, billboards and point-of-sale locations in fashion cities across the globe.

Oraine rocked the fashion fraternity, which was buzzing with excitement as they previewed the Spring 2009 trends at the first fashion week in a series which takes the fashion jet set crowd from New York to London, then Milan and finally Paris.

in the best shape ever

The incredibly built Pulse star, who affirms that he is in the best shape ever, was vetted and selected by casting directors for six collections, including Nautica, John Bartlett, Michael Bastion, Baby Phat, June Ambrose and Gilded Age. Considering that this is not the season for the male collections, this is a huge accomplishment.

Oraine has done remarkably well this season and is now one of the top male models in the world. He heads to Select in London later this month to launch an assault on the European market. His agencies in Paris and Milan are also anticipating action from Oraine in the upcoming seasons, including the big men's collections in January.

Oraine has worked with a veritable list of who's who in the industry, including Pepe Jeans, Target, Phat Farm, Lord and Taylor's, Liz Claiborne, Abercrombie & Fitch, and John Bartlet.

Barrett is a two-time winner of Models.com World Model of the Week. He has also been selected by I-D as one of five new stars in modelling.
