10 Models Who Can Totally Sing

by Marc Cuenco

She's a force to be reckoned with on the runway, but Natasha Poly singing in Frame Denim's commercial is quite a revelation. The Russian beauty showed off her vocal skills in a new ad campaign for the brand's fall/winter 2015 collection. Poly first appeared in a black and white ad for Frame Denim back in July, which teased that the model was going to sing in the newly released commercial.

Poly sings both in English and French for the "Alert Amour" clip, which was also shot in black and white. The statuesque model wears head-to-toe black while carrying a microphone, and giving her best Mick Jagger-meets-Charlotte Gainsbourg moves. According to Frame Denim co-founder Erik Torstensson, he approached Poly prior to filming the ad campaign and asking her what career she would have if she wasn't a model.

"She was like, ‘Well, I was going to be a singer,'" Torstensson said. Poly told Vogue that she wanted to attend music school like her cousins, but it wasn't until the opportunity to sing for Frame Denim came up when she finally turned her dream into a reality. “I was really nervous because you are in the studio and in front of people that you don’t know and you have to to sing," she said. "For me, it took a little bit of time to get into it."

Asked if she would ever pursue a music career, Poly said: “Yeah, I could! I mean I really enjoyed it and I think it could be really great. I could see myself doing it again." Watch Natasha Poly's singing debut for Frame Denim below:
