FASHION FORWARD

interviewed by Charity Mainville

Behind Amberleigh West’s striking appearance and ability to
dominate a camera lies a sweet, shy and innocent demeanor
working hard to accomplish her dreams.
Growing up in Mount Vernon, she knew she wanted to become
an actress, using her mom’s old video camera to record skits and
music videos with her best friend in early elementary school. Her
interest in modeling came after watching reruns of America’s Next
Top Model every day during high school. Eight years later, she was
cast for that show in cycle 22. After placing as a finalist in the 2014
Cover Girl Search, Amberleigh’s dreams started coming true.
In January 2016, she was chosen as Playboy’s last playmate of
month in its final nude issue. She signed with Seattle’s biggest
modeling agency, Heffner Management, cast in upcoming films
and had a photo shoot with her favorite photographer. But this is
only the beginning for this up and coming beauty as 2017 promises
to bring even more success.
