ADUT AKECH, 20
Adut Akech and her family
escaped from war-torn southern
Sudan to a Kenyan refugee
camp, before moving to Australia
when she was six years old.
Her mission since, to support
underprivileged girls across the
globe, married with her incredible
self-expression, deservedly won
her the accolade Model of the
Year at the 2019 Fashion Awards.
When do you feel super?
“I can feel super in a sexy,
bodycon suit, but also in a pair
of jeans and sneakers. It’s mainly
about wearing my confidence.
Also, nothing beats the feeling
I have when I’m on the runway.”
