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.
