Adut Akech Suits Up For A Soft 'Power Play' Lensed By Tyler Mitchell For Vogue UK January 2019

Aussie model Adut Akech has dominated editorials in December 2018/January 2019 magazines. And while Adut didn’t win the British Fashion Council’s Model of the Year award — it went to Adut’s close ‘human rose’ friend Kaia Gerber — this enchanting beauty lives up to her extraordinary reputation in this aptly-named ‘Power Play’ editorial.

That would be ‘soft power’ Adut’s style of influencing the world around her. Riding the express elevator to fashion stardom, this South Sudan woman, raised in Australia via an extended stay in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee camp in is on the global record saying loud and clear: “I Will Always Be A Refugee”.
