Shanelle Nyasiase Is Green Goddess Elegance By Txema Yeste For Vogue Spain

The high impact of Sudanese and South Sundanese models — and African-born women generally — has been breathtaking over the last year. Recent editorials suggest that no one — least of all great beauties like Shanelle Nyasiase — is taking his or her foot off the gas pedal. It’s as if the fashion industry has finally had a moment of long overdue reckoning, and the results are just magnificent.

Shanelle is styled by Juan Cebrián in haute couture from Valentino — the two-page appliqued halter dress; Givenchy — the blue sparkling cape; Dior — the green pleated dress above and much more holiday magnificence. Photographer Txema Yeste captures the extraordinary visual elegance in Paris — where else — as ‘Verde que te quiero verde’ for Vogue Spain December 2018./ Hair by Karim B; makeup by Tatsu Yamanaka

Refugee Models From Sudan Share Their Stories: Shanelle Nyasiase, Angok Mayen, George Okeny

Refugee Models From Sudan Share Their Stories: Shanelle Nyasiase, Angok Mayen, George Okeny

Model Shanelle Nyasiase walked a dizzying 42-43 shows in the past month, as the Fall 2018 runway shows launched in New York before moving to London, Milan and then Paris, weeks after the launch of her spectacular Alexander McQueen Spring 2018 ad campaign.

AOC is a different kind of fashion website, with my own roots embedded so deeply in activism on behalf of women worldwide, but especially in Africa and very deeply in Sudan and Kenya. 

I was pleasantly surprised today to see 'The Modeling World's Sudanese Refugees Share Their Stories' on Vogue.com, with Shanelle Nyasiase featured, along with peers Angok Mayen and George Okeny.

Africa's refugees are populating the pages of AOC, coming from the US, but also Australia and European countries. I like the candor of this Vogue video and am happy to see the content evolutions in the magazine. Listening to George Okeny talk about missing a Gucci ad shoot right after Trump's inauguration -- because he was caught up in the first wave of the president's immigration travel ban -- hit home. Take a listen. Oh, George says his papers are now in order, so if you know anyone at Gucci . . . That would be Alessandro Michele.

Shanelle Nyasiase Takes Our Breath Away, Lensed By Jamie Hawkesworth For McQueen Spring/Summer 2018 Campaign

Ethiopia-born model, South Sudanese Kenya-rised model Shanelle Nyasiase makes a spectacular, breathtaking arrival on the international fashion scene fronting Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2018 campaign. Jamie Hawkesworth captures the passion colors, full-throttle femininity in gowns styled by Camilla Nickerson. Granted, I am prejudiced given my own design preferences and strong attachment to Kenya, McQueen, nature and passion colors. But this campaign is a sensual feast for our eyes. Unadulterated joy! ~ Anne /Makeup by Dick Page; production by Laura Holmes.
