Ajak Deng: From Refugee Camp To Supermodel Runway

-

I prefer to call Ajak Deng the new Alek Wek, because the younger Sudanese super model is following the trail blazed by Alek Wek. Ajak has been phenomenal on the runway in Paris and other fashion capitals modeling for Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin, Maison Martin Margiela, and Givenchy and shining on the covers of VOGUE and other top fashion magazines.


 Alek Wek has proven to me that just because I am a girl doesn't mean I can't do whatever I want.
