Meet the Ghanaian model who just landed her Vogue cover

Adwoa Aboah ( Ghanain British Model )

Adwoa Aboah has landed herself once again on the covers of Vogue Mexico as its April star.

The rising model and feminist was an epitome of strength, grace and glamour as she posed for the double covers a blue Versace trench court and a Mexican wide-brimmed hat.

She was shot by fashion photographer Giampaolo Sgura and styled by Patrick Mackie for the new issue which is also Latin America’s biggest publication. On the second cover, she wore a Proenza Schouler cross-over crop top with a pleated skirt. Her face was painted by beauty artist Benjamin Puckey, and hair styling by Ward Stegerhoek.

24-year old Adwoa is the daughter of Ghanaian scout, Charles Aboah and Camilla Lowther, owner of the CLM agency that represents photographers, stylists, makeup artists, hairstylists and manicurists across the fashion industry.

Her unique image has her fronting and walking for famous designer brands including Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Fendi, DKNY, Alexander Wang, Theory, H&M, Aldo, Versus (Versace), Topshop, Rihanna x Puma, Kenzo to name but a few.

Aboa also appeared on the cover of American Vogue to mark its 125th Anniversary with other supermodels including Liu Wen, Ashley Graham, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Imaan Hammam, and Vittoria Ceretti in March 2017. She has also been on the cover of Vogue Italia, i-D and has starred alongside Scarlett Johansen in a sci-fi drama Ghost In The Shell.

The Gurls Talk founder has also been vocal about her personal struggles with suicide, depression, self-esteem and drug abuse after she checked out of rehab. She told Vogue "losing out on jobs and being judged on your appearance. I definitely grew a second skin and got used to it but more so now I realise that it definitely contributed to a lot of the things I feel about myself.

Adwoa Aboah is also big sister to model Kessewa Aboah who admits that their Ghanaian heritage has had a huge influence on their modelling career.

“My Ghanaian heritage means a lot to me and plays a big part in my life because it’s part of who I am” adds Kessewa.
