16 year old Nyasha Matonhodze has been made the face of Louis Vuitton‘s Fall/Winter advertising campaign.
After being scouted and walking into Elite model agency in London while wearing her school uniform, the Zimbabwean-born, British-raised teen went on to win the Elite Model Look competition n 2009 and then became a full time model.
Speaking of her huge achievement, Nyasha said “â€My eyes filled up with tears and I thought ‘Lord you are lucky!…It didn’t actually hit me until I was sat in a Rolls Royce sitting eye-to-eye with Mr Meisel. He is a wonder to work with, he and Marc (Jacobs) made me feel beautifulâ€.
Nice! and its a woman, “of color”.. Ever better!
