Adesuwa Aighewi

The African-American beauty of Chinese-Thai-Nigerian descent won the Industry vote as the Second Breakout model of the year a few months after Vogue declared her a supermodel in the making. The 26-year-old has had an amazing career so far, with 2019 promising to be an even better year for the proudly black model who is noted for saying ‘I can be whatever I want’ to be after being rejected several times by agencies for being too black. Adesuwa has gone on to walk as a Victoria’s Secret angel and was named as one of the new high-fashion runway models in the world by Instyle.com
