AyaanaAschkar-Stevens
Working in the modelling business has taught
18-year-old Ayaana Aschkar-Stevens a lot about
self-esteem. ‘It can be hard for a young girl
when you’re constantly judged on how you
look,’ she says, ‘but it’s helped me build tough
skin.’ Born and bred in London, Ayaana is
effortlessly cool and, when she’s not on set,
spends her time hanging out in Hackney. (Silk-jacquard dress, POA, by RONALD VAN DER KEMP.
