Up-and-coming actress and America's Next Top Model Cycle 9 winner Saleisha Stowers will attend the Art of Fashion event. Stowers just finished shooting the film "Talking to the Taxman about Poetry," it is the story of a recently fired substitute teacher who is manipulated back to life when an enigmatic trumpet player causes an awakening in him of passion, contradiction and purpose through the medium of the written word. The film was written and directed by Lamont Pierrealso and it also features Vanessa Simmons, Steph Jones and Kareen Ferguson. She also appeared on Ugly Betty and on the Tyra Banks Show and on ads for Wendy's and 24 Hour Fitness.
