Jade Parfitt (born June 1, 1978) is a British model and presenter. She was born in Kingston upon Thames, London, England but her family moved to Devonshire, Southern England when she was 14.
When she was 15, Jade's mother entered her into a modeling competition on the UK TV show 'This Morning', in which she won and was awarded with a contract with MODELS1. Jade's runway debut was for the Prada Spring 1995 show in Milan in October, 1994. The show featured many of the industry's top models of the time including Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Brandi Quinones and Kirsty Hume. She was also booked for shows in Paris including Ann Demeulemeester.
After her debut season, Jade quickly became a highly sought-after runway model due to her tall, lean frame and striking blue eyes, and the following year saw her working with big name designers such as Shiatzy Chen, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Jasper Conran. Jade became somewhat of a mainstay at the latter designer's shows, even later into her runway career in the early 2000s, having had the honour of appearing as the bride in the finale of the show 3 times.
