Melrose Bickerstaff was born in 1983. She grew up in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, and graduated from West Bloomfield High School in 2001.[4] While in high school, she was active in theatre and was also a member of the ski team.[4] She also participated in West Bloomfield High School's Fashion Program, where she was a director of the show.
Bickerstaff graduated from The Art Institute of California - San Francisco with a degree in fashion design, where she was named "Best of Show" and "Most Creative" in the 2003 annual student fashion show. Before appearing on America's Next Top Model, she worked as a fashion designer.
On the series, Bickerstaff went by "Melrose," claiming she removed the "issa" from her first name because she "didn't need it." While making it to the final two on Top Model, Melrose was depicted as not well liked by the other contestants, which was later revealed to E! as selective editing. Although her walk was deemed better than that of competitor CariDee English, she lost.
At the end of Bickerstaff's Top Model run, she announced that she would help design clothes for former Lost cast member Michelle Rodriguez's fledgling clothing line, Ishkidada. The next month, E! Online and TMZ.com reported that Bickerstaff and actor Jeremy Piven had started a romance, but was later retracted by the latter source.
In February 2007, Bickerstaff was a featured model in Malan Breton's ready to wear show at New York Fashion Week. Her working relationship with Breton continued when she appeared with him at the GLAAD Media Awards wearing one of his dresses one month later. In April 2007, she also appeared in New York's Tartan Week with Ivanka Trump and Marcus Schenkenberg.
Previously signed to Bleu Model Management and L.A. Models, she signed to Storm Model Management in late 2007, the same agency which manages models Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and Alek Wek.
Bickerstaff has also done advertisements for Scoop NYC, Jack Rabbit Belts, and Beau Soleil Fall 2007 Collection, as well as walked the runways at London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2008 for designer Aminika Wilmot.
Bickerstaff is currently signed with Leni's Model Management in London. ... (more)

ANTM: Models Who SHOULD Have Won (19 person items)

"Season: 7 Who won: CariDee English While everyone rooted for her and hated on Melrose, I saw her for what she was, a dumb, moody, hard-to-work-with, bitch. Who Should Have Won: Melrose Bickerstaff The better model, by leaps and bounds, and she didn't screw up the runway show at the end of the season."

Who Should Have Won America's Next Top Model (10 person items)

" Real winner: CariDee English I was surprised that she did not win. Yes, CariDee was good, but I do believe that in the end, if she won, it's because she was more liked as a person than Melrose. But is it a personality or a modeling competition? I did not like CariDee's performance in the final runway: it was acting more than fashion. I was even more surprised considering that Melrose won most challenges. Her portfolio was also more than good. Final. Overall, this season was one of the best. "
