Remi Alade-Chester
 Born and raised in the city of Lagos, in Nigeria, Remi Alade-Chester was living in his hometown till the age of eleven, at which point he migrated to the US with his immediate family, Remi began a new life on his continuous journey to success. Standing at 6’1, the power-house model with his sculpted physique, flawless skin and a striking face, makes a bold statement. On how he got into modeling, Remi told online magazine LAMODEDIMITRI “I was always advised to try it out since I was in high school, but I never thought much of it until my designer roommate in college introduced me to a photographer. With money as a catalyst, I soon started dabbling, and that’s when Graham from Gadal Model Management found me and I flew-out to Barbados to meet him. The rest is pretty much history…” Remi began modelling around his 20th birthday, which makes it a 2 year career thus far, since he is now 22. Interestingly accelerating through the model industry, Remi gained enough prominence to walk the runway for the Fall 2011 menswear collection of Parisian fashion house Givenchy. Although his fast growth has been a major curve ball, he really could not have had it another way.

Betty Adewole
 Betty Adewole (born in 1992, in London, UK) is a professional fashion model from England. Both her parents are Nigerian, and nurses. She was discovered by a scout from Models 1 in London while she was shopping with her mother. She has walked the catwalk in fashion shows for Elie Tahari, Emilio de la Morena, Vivienne Westwood, Fashion East, J. Crew, Mark Fast, Nathan Jenden, Paul Smith, Issey Miyake, Jasmine de Milo, PPQ, Maison Martin Margiela Paris, Pam Hogg, Loewe, Emanuel Ungaro, Marcus Constable, and Nasir Mazhar, among others. She also did campaign work for Libery of London. She has been in magazines such as Arise, 125, and French Revue de Modes. She also graced the covers of Arise, 125, and French Revue de Modes. She's currently signed with One Management in New York, Elite Models in Milan, Major Models, and Models 1 in London. Scouted at 15 in her hometown of London - shopping on Tottenham Court Road, to be precise - the model has politely dismissed comparisons with another capital-born model, Naomi Campbell, asserting that, while flattered, she is "very different". After a steady start, the turning point in her career was being signed by IMG last year, and subsequently cutting her waist-length hair into a boyish crop - forcing designers in search of a new look to take notice. From her debut on the catwalks of Loewe and Maison Martin Margiela during the spring/summer 2011 season, Adewole has become one of the industry's most sought-after catwalk faces. With appearances in some of fashion's biggest shows - from Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford to Stella McCartney and Givenchy - under her belt, she's likely to give fellow Londoners Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne a run for their money in the popularity stakes when the shows begin next month.
