BILLINGS – It Model, Lipstick and Prestige magazines. These are just a few of the magazines that the Billings fashion model has been featured in, but now she has even bigger news as she gets ready to head to London for London Fashion Week.
“It’s huge. It’s nerve-racking to travel out of state and do what a lot of people don’t get to do and it’s amazing to have that opportunity to do that and also be one of the only girls from Montana chosen, Nicole Williams said. – Boggio.
Nicole is a 2019 graduate of Billings West High School who has become an international runway model, striking stunning poses from Los Angeles to New York and now London later this month.

“She took an acting and modeling class with Kiara Belen from LA, who is one of America’s top models,” said her mother, Denise Boggio. “And when we were done, Nicole and a few other people were chosen to go to LA to do fashion week.”
That was three years ago, but if you look back even further, Nicole has quite a story to tell about how it all started.
“She started modeling at the age of one,” said Denise. “We did a baby contest and everyone thought I was silly for it, but I just wanted to have it in her baby book. She ended up getting second place and getting an award for best eyes.”
Go back even further and this was a historic moment.
“Nicole was born quite emergency, in fact she almost died,” said her mother. “She was 4 pounds, 1 ounce when she was born and they said she probably went without food for 2-3 weeks before she gave birth. They let her go home at 3 pounds, 14 ounces.”

She faced another major hurdle growing up with severe, anonymous harassment and even death threats in her closet. But she kept moving forward and wants others to do the same.
“I would like to say to everyone who has been in my position with bullying, just always keep your mind set on what you want to do and don’t let anyone dull your brilliance,” she said.
And that’s what she’s doing, from track to track.
“You don’t think it’s going to happen, you hope it does,” Denise said.
She will be one of only six petite models who will take to the London Fashion Life Tour.
“I know I have a special dress that was built for me,” Nicole said. “This is so beautiful. This is exciting.”
