From grass to Grace. read the Nigerian-Italian based model's story

His name is Victor Ndigwe and he is a 19 year old, not quitre long ago, he was one of those models that are
looking for a good modelling agency to work with but today he is wanted by many.
.

Victor, who isn’t the only model in his family, had heard about the Aquafina Elite Model Look competition in Nigeria in 2012, and had decided to sign up with his sister.
He didn’t get his chance until 2014 when he registered along with thousands of other hopefuls, except his sister who missed out because of school exams.

As luck, or maybe his excellent performance would have it, Victor was selected as part of 13 finalists who got a chance to impress the Elite Model Look international judges. Victor was victorious (talk about a good name), along with a female winner, Mayowa Nicholas. Together, they got their big break into the international
modelling industry, but here’s why Victor is special. After winning the competition, he started out in Milan, walking the ramp for Ermenegildo Zegna and Missoni, the first ever Nigerian male model to do so. He then went on to Paris, where he made runway appearances for brandsincluding Hermès, Balmain, Kenzo and Haider Ackermann!




                                          
                              

Victor’s success has gained him tons of international attention and loads of female admirers, e.g. an interview
with Vogue Italy.
Now Victor Nidgwe will serve as an inspiration to all upcoming models, especially finalists of Aquafina Elite
Model Look 2015 this weekend in Lagos. Speaking with Vogue Magazine, Victor said,

 “I want to inspire other models that have dreams the same way I had them. I just want to be a good example.”

Amazing he’s already doing that as a teenager! Because, in addition to being an international model, courtesy the Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria contest, Victor is still in school, studying Applied Mathematics. Super stardom seriously doesn’t get any better than this.
