AFRICAN FASHION


Alek Wek

African and black girls owned the catwalks throughout the 1970s and 1980s but by the early 1990s, it had become a white wash. So when Alek Wek came on to the scene in 1995 her extraordinary looks were like a bomb going off.  A then 18-year-old Sudanese civil war refugee studying in London, she was spotted by a scout and moved to New York. Her 1997 Elle cover caused ripples. She was named model of the decade by i-D magazine and opened shows for Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Ralph Lauren all in the same year. She’s since added author, campaigner, activist and designer to her CV and has paved the way for other Sudanese models such as Ajak Deng and her niece, Ataui Deng.
