Such a beautiful edit!
net-a-porterIn a bumper FW18 season, Nyasiase, 22, walked in 43 shows for brands including Valentino, Gucci, and Givenchy, and opened and closed for Loewe. The South Sudanese model was then snapped up for campaigns for fashion powerhouses Alexander McQueen, Salvatore Ferragamo and Versace.
GROWING UP, I WANTED TO BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT. I really wanted to see the world, discover new places and spend my time up in the sky. I never thought about modeling until I was scouted online. Now I’ve realized my dream of traveling, but in a totally different way.
SEEING OTHER MODELS DO WELL MAKES ME HAPPY. I don’t look at other girls and wish I had their career – those girls hitting the big time are paving the way for models like me. They’re an inspiration. Modeling has made me so much more empowered; now I know that if I work hard I can make my dreams a reality.
I GREW UP IN A HOUSE FULL OF LAUGHTER. Family is the most important thing to me and my mother is still my biggest inspiration; there’s nothing a hug from her can’t fix. When I have time off I love traveling home to Nairobi, where my family now live, to hang out with them and my friends.
MY DREAM DAY OFF WOULD BE SPENT AT THE BEACH, just lying on the sand listening to the waves roll in. I find the sound of water so peaceful and I like to be out in the fresh air as much as possible. That’s my best beauty advice – let your skin breathe. When I’m not chilling, I absolutely love to dance, it’s such a release.
