incredible looking women -- they would blow most current girls out of the water. it's a shame there are so few asian and black models in the industry.

forgot to add that i was rooting for Doyin, but i guess it wasnt her day to win. Do you think Kaone has a bright future on the international scene like Oluchi?

opeyemi

 

[Nader]

doyin is definitely my favourite

 

[arlekindearrabal]

to me, palesa has the most interesting look... and the ethiopian girls are GORGEOUS

 

[Urban Stylin]

id like to see doyin in paris i think she has the potential to become the top african model. she is just sooo elegant on the runway!
Dont know why she didnt win maybe because she isnt as commercial. The ethiopian girls didnt even get to the top 5! Tingrit had brilliant legs! though i hear yordanos had some diva behaviour maybe because she has a fairly successful modelling career.
opeyemi was another fave, she also had a killer walk though she looks too much like oluchi IMO

Opeyami (Nigeria)

Opeyami of Nigeria has a very cute face.
