Adut Akech has walked for Saint Laurent, closed the Chanel haute couture show as the coveted bride and appeared on magazine covers across the globe. But before all that, one of Adut’s first modelling jobs was walking the runway at Melbourne Fashion Week (MFW). Back in 2016, Akech was a little-known name in the industry here in Australia, but shortly after MFW, she was scouted for the Saint Laurent spring/summer ‘17 show in Paris and the rest is history. It’s no wonder then that Akech has cleared her calendar to return to MFW for 2019.
