Few months back, a Nigerian model, Janet jumbo became the first Nigerian model to have an exclusive with Louis Vuitton the news that went Viral.
We seldom hear about the people behind these ground breaking stars doing great things on international runways.
Today we’re taking a look at the brains behind one of the fastest modelling agencies in Nigeria, Raw models.
RAW MODEL MANAGEMENT
Is one of the leading scouting, development and talent management agency in Nigeria, founded by Rapheal Onyemaechi and Queen Onyemaechi.
In a little over 2years, Raw models have successfully placed almost all their girls internationally. Raw models are signed to major cities around the world like New York,London,Milan,Paris ,Asia just to mention a few.
Not only are they getting signed, they’re also booked and definitely busy. Raw models have successfully walked the big international Runways for Louis vuitton exclusively three times, Christian Dior, Gucci,ZARA, Armani, VICTORIA Beckham just to mention a few.
With names like Janet Jumbo, Mariam, Ololade, Queen, Chizoba ,Sarah walking internationally as core African women and beautiful brown skin, we can’t help but marvel at their growth and progress so far.
Raw Models recently discovered Janet jumbo on her way back from church, and she made her debut as a worldwide, exclusive, 2 times back to back model, for Louis Vuitton and also debuted her first campaign for Louis Vuitton. She’s definitely the highlight of the year.
Raw models are doing the Raw models search tour around Africa and changing the narrative by going into the streets and the uttermost part of Africa looking for great potential and uniqueness in every model we discover, most of them have dreams of becoming supers stars, most of them can’t dream they’re basically just existing trying to survive. Through scouting Raw models can find them, give them a huge career opportunity in modelling that will transform them into international walking stars.
