I know there has to be lots of black plus-sized models in the industry, but where are they really? You rarely see them in editorials or even on the runways. I see so many stunning plus-sized models but very few of them are black! So i've decided to go on a "black models-finding" mission, I hope it yields positive results!
So, you all could either come along with me or sit back, relax and i'll post my findings for you to see!
She's a 22 year old Ghanaian from Dartford, Kent. The size 16, former Miss Ghana UK 2008, is not just all gorgeousness as she also holds a first class degree in Economics from Bristol University and is presently for an MSc in International Health Management at the Imperial College, London! Wow! High-achieving, geeky, hotness indeed!
She edged out all the other contestants in the modelling competition organised by Cosmopolitan Magazine, Models1 and Style369.com. She is now signed with Excel-Models1, the new division of Models1. I wish her all the very best in her career and hope that in the next few years her face would grace very many campaigns!
You could check out the full shoot in the past May issue of Cosmopolitan.
And here's a link to the MailOnline story on her: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2124574/Philomena-Kwao-hopes-Britains-black-plus-size-supermodel.html
