6 Days in London, Aliet Sarah is Already One of the Breakout Models of the Season

By  | 

Aliet Sarah just made her London Fashion Week debut walking for British brand JW Anderson. The South Sudanese-Ugandan model landed the spot just six days after jetting into the city. In fact, British Vogue editors can’t stop gushing over the stunner, they’ve named her one of the breakout models of London Fashion Week A/W 2019.

This is what Vogue bookings director Rosie Vogel-Eades had to say about her

Aliet walks for JW Anderson

I booked Aliet for a Vogue beauty story last week off the strength of her digitals alone. She was so luminous that on set our beauty director forbade the make-up artist to use any make-up on her. But, it was when she came in to meet us in the Vogue office that I was really affected by her story. Born in South Sudan to parents in the military, Aliet’s family moved to Uganda and then Canada to live under the protection of her aunt upon the death of her parents. Although her family is keen for Aliet to study, modelling, she says, helps her soul heal. After today’s debut at JW Anderson, I’m excited to see what the future holds for her.

Aliet is signed to Storm Models in London.
