FASHION
Adwoa Aboah
Nationality: Ghana
Adwoa was “born on a Monday”
to a mother that’s a successful
agent and a father that is one
of the most sought after location
scouts in London. Fashion was a
step that made sense.
She’s a model in peak demand.
She’s worked for Burberry, Calvin
Klein, Fendi, DKNY, Alexander
Wang, Theory, H&M, Aldo,
Versace, Topshop, Rihanna x
Puma, Kenzo, Simone Rocha,
Chanel, Dior and Erdem, to
name a few. Her caramel
skin and freckles have even
landed her on i-D, Italian Vogue
and American Vogue covers
alongside Gigi Hadid and
Kendall Jenner.
The Italian Vogue cover we
just spoke of came months
after a suicide attempt and
a subsequent coma from the
trauma. She was depressed and
addicted to drugs but came out
triumphant. Her triumph would
be the founding of an online
platform, Gurls Talk, to help girls
like her deal with their sexuality,
mental health and body image.
Amilna
Estevao
Nationality:
Angola
In 2013, 14-year-old Amilna
landed an Elite Look
contract in her country’s
capital city and it’s been
smooth sailing ever since.
Her resume is a laundry list
of some of the most highly
coveted brands in the
fashion industry: Givenchy,
Lanvin, Balmain, Alexander
Wang, Burberry, Phillip Lim,
DVF, Dolce & Gabbana,
Express, Fendi, Kenzo and
more.
