SHANELLE
NYASIASE
Born in Ethopia
and raised in Kenya,
southern Sudanese
22-year-old Shanelle
Nyasiase grew up
wanting to be a flight
attendant, but, after
launching her modelling
career in 2017, quickly
found herself an
international star for an
entirely different reason.
From appearing in
campaigns for brands
such as Alexander
McQueen and
Balenciaga, and on
runways from Marc
Jacobs to Loewe, her
global presence is
perhaps just as
pronounced as it would
have been if she’d
continued her cabin
crew training – and
surely Maison Margiela
Artisanal is better than
an airline uniform?
Wool and crin dress,
worn over a nude
corset, and leather boots,
