Ever since Louis Vuitton’s new A/W11 campaign was revealed, 16-year-old Nyasha Matonhodze has become the fresh face on everyone’s lips – including ours!

So we thought it was time to delve deeper into this model’s young career, and find out when she first developed an interest in modelling. In a recent interview with New York Magazine, graceful Matonhodze revealed just that: “Since I was 12, I was tall and thin so I would always get the whole ‘you should be a model’, but I never really developed a serious interest about it until America’s Next Top Model.

“Seriously, that’s when it all changed for me. Everything I wanted was pretty much based off that show. I went into this career thinking I could be a model, but I never thought I’d actually become one.”

And now that Matonhodze has bookings coming out of her ears, we want to know how she feels being a successful model: “I find it difficult to see myself and think that I’m a model. I feel blessed and honoured to keep getting that next step in my career. I’ve met amazing people that keep supporting me and pushing me further and further. It’s like a dream, no matter how good I do, it’s still so surreal for me.”

As a humble girl with great support, we think this young teen will go far in the modelling industry.
