About Esther

Fashion model Esther de Jong was born in the Netherlands and raised in Maassluis. After university, Esther worked in business before beginning her career as a professional fashion model under the name 'Esther Young'. Moving to Paris, she was offered immediate assignments for magazines such as Elle, Madame Figaro, L’Officiel and others. After attaining success in Paris she relocated to New York City. Esther has been photographed by many of the iconic names in the fashion industry including Helmut Newton, Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier, Michael Thompson, Steve Hiett, Albert Watson and many others.
​
Traveling to earth's beautiful and exotic locations awakened Esther's deep passion for painting and poetry, inspiring her to attend the National Academy of Art and Design in New York where she studied with master painter Sam Adoquei. Today, Esther resides outside New York City in the Catskill Mountains where she operates her own businesses and works on select fashion assignments. Whether home or traveling she writes poetry and draws and paints her world, inspired by the beauty that surrounds her.
