Adut Akech Is All Shades Of Melanin Goodness On The Cover Of V Magazine Summer Issue

Adut Akech is making yet another power move.

 

The 20yr old world-famous model is one of the covers on V 2020 Magazine Summer Issue, alongside 14 other models including Kaia Gerber, He Cong, and Rebecca Longendyke.

 

She looks exquisite for the cover lensed by a team of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. She was styled by George Cortina.

Adut goes from Grace Jones’ feline ferocity to a teenager’s disarming glow. With the burst of a smile, all teeth, and squishy cheeks at the slightest tingle of a joke. Now all grown up, it was time to show off the killer body she’s been hiding for the past few years.

 

Since her debut on the @ysl catwalk back in 2017, Adult has since gone on to be named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council last December and now regularly closes the most prestigious shows and fronts high-fashion campaigns across the globe.”

 

When speaking to V about the current wave of next-gen supermodels, Adut simply but powerfully states “We are the future.”

 

Adut Akech made history in 2017 and 2018 when she became the first black model to close the Saint Laurent F/W 17 and S/S 18 shows. She was named Model Of The Year by model.com in both 2018 and 2019  respectively.
