Posted Feb. 26, 2008 –  “Rip the Runway: Model Search ’08” is a one-hour special that follows the journey of four hopefuls from casting and rehearsals to the  runway. Shyloh Wilkinson is  one of them.  This beauty is a stunning mocha skinned, 5' 11 model with engaging eyes from the Bahamas. Last year, she was discovered in her home town at a local fashion show when a friend of a New York agent saw her strut her stuff. Instantly he passed Shyloh's information on to his agent friend and within a few months Shyloh picked up her things and headed up north to New York City. She left behind her mother and a couple of siblings for the big city of dreams where she crashes with a photographer friend in the Bronx (until she gets her own apartment that is). Shyloh spends her days going to castings and auditions and freelancing as an exhibitionist model for Moschino where she models the new line of lingerie for potential clients.

She is new to the city, (she arrived in September), so she still has a lot to learn about getting around NYC and making this her new home. Her personality is giddy, often giggly and aloof at the same time, she can be slightly blunt, but always sweetly.

Be sure to tune in Thursday at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) and watch it all unfold.

Don't forget to watch "Rip the Runway" March 4 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).
