VOGUE RISING STAR:
Amal-Tobi alias Ọmọlọ́lá Olúwatóbi — The New Face Rewriting Fashion’s Future
Date: January 1 2026
Location: London Base, UK
There is a moment, just before a model steps onto the runway, when the world seems to hold its breath.
For most, it’s a flicker of nerves. For Omolola, it is a quiet claiming of space — a ritual she performs with the grace of someone who understands that she is not simply walking a show, but stepping into her destiny.
In an industry obsessed with immediacy, Omolola is the rare kind of rising star who feels both fresh and timeless.
She carries the softness of a whisper and the power of a storm, a duality that has made designers, casting directors, and editors lean in with curiosity.
Her ascent has been anything but accidental.
Discovered while working a regular job, she entered fashion not through privilege or planning, but through presence — that ineffable quality that cannot be taught, only recognized.
Nigeria’s Next Supermodel became her first runway, but the world quickly became her stage.
From Lagos to Paris, from Milan to New York, Omolola has walked with the kind of elegance that makes a room recalibrate its definition of beauty.
But what sets her apart is not just the walk — it’s the mind behind it.
Backstage, while others scroll through their phones or rehearse poses, Omolola studies.
She watches the way a garment moves, the way a seam curves, the way a designer’s vision transforms from sketch to silhouette. She absorbs the language of fashion with the hunger of someone who knows she is meant to speak it fluently one day.
There is a designer growing inside her — patient, observant, quietly powerful.
A woman who understands that modeling is not the end of her story, but the beginning of her creative vocabulary.
Amal‑Tobi magnetic
What makes Amal‑Tobi magnetic is not just her face — though it is the kind that editors describe as “editorial gold” — but her ability to transform. In front of the camera, she shifts effortlessly from softness to steel, from innocence to intensity, from muse to storyteller. She understands fashion not as a costume, but as a conversation. And she knows exactly how to speak it.
Her rise is not loud; it is luminous. Not rushed; intentional. Not manufactured; earned.
In a world where trends shift by the hour, Omolola stands as a reminder that true stars are not created — they emerge. They evolve. They endure.
She represents a new generation of African talent redefining global fashion: bold yet refined, grounded yet visionary.
Her presence is not just representation; it is transformation. She is the kind of muse who doesn’t simply inspire designers — she inspires possibilities.
And as the industry looks toward its future, one thing is clear: Omolola is not just walking into fashion’s next chapter — she is helping write it.

ANSM
Amal‑Tobi and the First Step That Changed Everything
What ANSM meant for the birth of her career
For most models, the beginning is a blur — a handful of test shots, a casting call, a lucky break.
But for Amal‑Tobi, the beginning had a name, a stage, and a heartbeat: ANSM — Africa’s Next Super Model. It wasn’t just a competition; it was the ignition point of a destiny she had not yet dared to imagine.
Walking into ANSM for the first time, Amal‑Tobi wasn’t a star yet. She was potential — raw, unpolished, powerful.
The kind of potential that only the right eyes can recognize. And ANSM has always been a place where such potential is not just seen, but sculpted.
For her, that first competition meant exposure, yes — but more importantly, it meant validation.
It meant stepping into a world that had been waiting for her long before she knew she belonged to it.
It meant discovering that her presence could command a room, that her walk could tell a story, that her face could hold the attention of an entire industry.
ANSM became her first runway, her first audience, her first taste of the electricity that comes when talent meets opportunity.
It was the moment she realized that modeling wasn’t a dream — it was a language she was born speaking.
And the industry noticed.
From that stage, doors began to open. ISIS Models International saw not just a contestant, but a future. Studio 24 captured her first images with the reverence reserved for rising icons.
And Amal‑Tobi stepped forward — not as a girl trying her luck, but as a woman stepping into her power.
ANSM didn’t just launch her career. It defined the tone of it: bold, intentional, unstoppable.
For Amal‑Tobi, that first competition wasn’t the beginning of a journey. It was the moment she understood she was meant to lead one.

RUNWAYS TO FREEDOM
Runways to Freedom: Where Fashion Becomes Liberation
There are fashion shows, and then there are moments — rare, electric, unforgettable — when a runway becomes something far greater than a stage.
Runways to Freedom is one of those moments. It is not simply an event; it is a declaration.
A pulse. A movement stitched from courage, identity, and the unshakeable belief that beauty can be a form of liberation.
In a world where the fashion industry often dictates who belongs and who doesn’t, Runways to Freedomflips the narrative. It is a space where models walk not just to display garments, but to reclaim their stories.
Every step is a refusal to be boxed in. Every look is a reminder that style is not superficial — it is political, emotional, ancestral.
The models who grace this runway are not chosen for perfection; they are chosen for truth.
They carry histories, scars, victories, and dreams. They walk with the weight of their past and the lightness of their future. And when they move, the room shifts — because freedom has a sound, and it echoes in their footsteps.
Behind this movement stands a community of visionaries, creatives, and believers who understand that fashion can be a tool for healing.
Runways to Freedom supports those who have been silenced, overlooked, or underestimated. It gives them a platform, a spotlight, and — most importantly — a voice.
This is where artistry meets activism. Where fabric becomes armor. Where the runway becomes a road to self‑discovery

Together, they form a bridge — one built on mentorship, visibility, and unwavering belief.
They nurture potential long before the spotlight arrives, investing in young talents with the patience and precision of artisans.
