From the heart of Montgomery, Alabama, Shanna Nicole Moss is redefining what it means to walk with purpose, presence, and power. With four years of modeling experience behind her and a bold rebrand underway, Shanna is stepping into a new era—one rooted in confidence, individuality, and unmistakable femme noir elegance.

Currently refining her winter aesthetic, Shanna describes her evolving style as femme noir meets casual chic—a seamless balance of softness and strength, mystery and effortlessness. It’s a look that mirrors who she is: intentional, expressive, and unapologetically herself.

Although modeling had always lived quietly in her heart, the moment that changed everything came when she arrived at college and witnessed her first HBCU model troupe performance. The emotion hit instantly. Watching them move, command the stage, and embody confidence brought her to tears. In that moment, clarity followed—this was it. From her very first photoshoot to her first time stepping onto the runway, Shanna knew she had found her calling.

One of her most meaningful experiences came during her college’s homecoming fashion show, where beauty, energy, and celebration filled the room. Dressed in what she recalls as the most beautiful gown she had ever worn, Shanna felt fully in her element. That same season also brought a career-defining milestone: modeling for the mayor of Alabama—an honor she describes as a huge and humbling achievement.

Shanna’s approach to fashion is deeply personal. She marches to the beat of her own drum, unconcerned with following trends or fitting into expectations. While she isn’t currently inspired by modern designers, she draws heavy influence from iconic 1990s fashion houses—most notably Versace, Vivienne Westwood, and Chanel. Their boldness, structure, and timeless rebellion resonate with her spirit.

Before stepping onto the runway, Shanna grounds herself through prayer and music, allowing herself to release doubt and quiet her thoughts. Once she begins to walk, she lets go completely. There’s no overthinking—only instinct. She describes it as blanking out and allowing her body to lead, trusting every movement to speak for itself.

Among her proudest accomplishments is earning the opportunity to walk for the mayor of Alabama and becoming a member of Xclusive Modeling Troupe at Alabama State University—both pivotal moments that affirmed her growth and dedication.

Looking ahead, Shanna dreams big. She envisions herself walking for Vogue and Essence, stepping onto global platforms that celebrate beauty, culture, and authenticity. And those closest to her aren’t surprised—her friends describe her as outgoing, a little ditzy, and undeniably ambitious.

When asked what advice she would give to aspiring models, her message is simple yet powerful: “Just do it. All you need is confidence and courage. Keep going.”

What makes Shanna ICONIQUE isn’t just her walk or her look—it’s her refusal to blend in. She knows there is no one else like her, and she embraces that truth fully. Never interested in fitting into regular crowds, she chooses authenticity every time. As she puts it best: to know her is to love her.
