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!”
Wow. Tosin is stunning. She must be Sierra Leonean!!
I wish her well.
