Model watch: Tosin Akeredolu
Features | Michele Obi | March 11, 2009
Based in both London and Cape Town, model Tosin Akeredolu has been on our radar for a while. With a gazelle like figure, it’s no surprise that her modelling c.v includes stints at Vivienne Westwood and Agent Provocateur. Frustrated by the under-representation of Black and ethnic models in the UK, the 6ft beauty bravely relocated to Cape Town where she’s been inundated with work. Currently with Oxygen models and a lover of British fashion designers, including Avsh Alom Gur, William Tempest and Matthew Williamson, Akeredolu hasn’t given up on carving out a career on our shores, “I love London, it’s my home, but for now I intend to focus on my career in South Africa and return to Europe for fashion week” she says. We say, “Watch this space!”
