#MODELCRUSH: Gorgeous South Sudanese Abény Nhial Went From Biochemistry To Mainstream Runway Sensation

In a captivating feature article, FashionGHANA.com spotlights the rise of South Sudanese-Australian sensation, Abény Nhial, as their latest Model Crush. Before making waves in the fashion industry, Nhial was deeply entrenched in the academic realm of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. However, destiny had other plans for her.

Unbeknownst to many, modeling was not a career path Nhial initially envisioned for herself. It was the encouragement and support from those around her that prompted her to delve into the world of fashion. Taking a leap of faith, she reached out to modeling agencies in her hometown of Queensland, Australia, marking the beginning of her meteoric rise in the industry.

Nhial’s international debut came at a challenging time, amidst the uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the hurdles, her talent and determination shone through, and just two months after stepping onto the runway, she graced the cover of British Vogue’s March 2022 issue. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Nhial wasn’t initially cast for the cover. It was the keen eye of editor-in-chief Edward Enninful who recognized her star quality and invited her for the final casting.

Since her breakthrough moment, Nhial’s career has skyrocketed. She has been the face of campaigns for luxury brands like Ferragamo and DSquared2 and has had the privilege of collaborating with renowned photographers such as Rafael Pavarotti, Nadine Ijewere, and Elizaveta Porodina.

In an insightful interview with Models.com, Nhial opened up about the unique challenges faced by black models in the industry, the process of adapting to new routines, and her experiences working alongside people she admires. Her journey serves as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and embracing unexpected opportunities.

As FashionGHANA.com’s latest Model Crush feature, Abény Nhial’s story serves as a reminder that with talent, determination, and a supportive community, one can truly transcend boundaries and carve out a niche in any field.
