The modelling industry in Nigeria is shaping up at a steady pace and with international partnerships; more Nigerian models are being exposed to opportunities across the shore. Of course, these growth and exposures were as a result of creative events occurring at the right time, however, we can’t dispute the coherent actions of those at the helm.
Our Woman Crush Wednesday, Bolajo Fawehinme, who has been featured on Forbes, is one of the first disruptors within the Nigerian modelling industry. As a model herself with over a decade of working experience, Fawehinme created Few Models Management in 2015. Since then, the agency has burgeoned to become Africa’s leading model scouting agency with over 22 scouts worldwide and gaining both local and international recognition from Vogue, Forbes, Elle, Models.com, Business of Fashion (BOF), Guardian Life, Thisday, et cetera.
Fawehinme is hands-on when it comes to the business, from scouting models to training them to ensure their visibility and profitability. She takes today’s spot for being a willing visionary and sparking inspiration.
