One of the buzziest new faces to emerge from the spring collections is French-Ivorian Aya Jones N’Guessan. In her first modeling gig, the nubile newbie walked exclusively for Prada in Milan at the spring shows a couple of weeks ago, whereupon casting directors tripped over themselves to book her for the following shows in her hometown of Paris. Ultimately she chose to walk only a few, but they were some of the best: Miu Miu (of course), Valentino, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Viktor & Rolf, and Giambattista Valli, among others.

Aya has been compared to ebony goddesses Naomi Campbell, Noémie Lenoir, and Marihenny Rivera. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to mull it over since it’s very likely that, for the spring 2015 editorial and campaign season, Aya will be everywhere.
