For this issue, Emirates Woman exclusively caught up with the South Sudanese Aussie, Duckie Thot, to hear about what she is looking forward to in the new year and what has been the highlight of her career so far.
Sister of YouTuber Nikki Perkins, she made her start in the eighth cycle of Australia's Next Top Model, where she finished in third place. After her stint at the series, Duckie made her runway debut at the Yeezy spring/summer 2017 show. Since then, the 24-year-old has strutted down the runway for names like Balmain, Victoria's Secret, SavagexFenty, Mansur Gavriel and more.
However, Duckie didn’t just stop there. After championing inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry, Duckie dipped her toe into the world of beauty, after becoming L’Oréal Paris’ newest global brand ambassador. She intends to use her influence to give young women of all backgrounds the confidence to succeed.
