Well, there’s a new rags to pictures story that has recently occurred with an Okada Bike Rider in Douala, Cameroon. There is no promise whether this story will be as renowned as Olajumoke, or even experience a much greater one.

The young man goes by the name of Alber and was scouted by Cameroon/Ghana-based designer brand Sulet Noir. A brand that is in the middle of pushing their Carter’s Collection Series as published prior below.

This time around they featured Alber, as well as his transformation from a bike rider to his modeling pictures instantly making the young man a celebrity model in Cameroon, and viral on various fashion social media platforms across the continent.

Alber who fits the typical description of a fashion model in the mainstream world whilst having both quirky and a handsome streak could possibly strike lucky on the international market. After all, the pr tactic definitely worked for the Sulet Noir brand and could do even more on an international stage.

The images were published on Saturday 20th of August in a series of images from their Carter Collection which according to the brand ‘is purely inspired by Beyoncé and Jay z, the love for African culture and our Black skin as seen in most of their video concepts and latest Albums.’
