Nigerian Model Mayowa Nicholas Featured in Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2016 Campaign

My feelings about Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana aside, let's celebrate Nigerian model Mayowa Nicholas.  

Following her 2014 Elite Model Look win, Mayowa has made some major strides in the modelling field. The model, signed to Beth Models Management Africa in Lagos,  joined a cast of international models comprised of Leila Goldkuhl, Sasha Kichigina, Cong He and Bianca Balti for the campaign.

The campaign was shot on the streets of the Italian city of Naples by Franco Pagetti and will appear on billboards and magazines across the world.

Mayowa was also named by Models.com as one of the next graduating class of Top Newcomers F/W 2016, which is a list of models that stood out from the rest – walking for major brands, landing exclusives slots, and securing pivotal opening and closing spots this season. 

She has walked for big names such as Calvin Klein, Dior and Balmian. Nigerians have hailed her as the first model from Nigeria to book such a major campaign. 

Halala Mayowa, Congratulations.
