𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐞: Dreams Sewn into Every Step

In the constantly shifting universe of high fashion, Victoria Fawole brings intention, discipline, and artistry to every project she undertakes. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, and currently working from London, she approaches modeling not only as performance but as a medium of communication — a way to interpret and reflect culture, identity, and movement. Her work across six fashion seasons speaks to a consistency rooted in craft, and a quiet confidence that translates effortlessly on both runway and in front of the lens.

Whether walking for avant-garde designers or appearing in global campaigns, Victoria is known for her ability to adapt without losing authenticity. As she herself puts it, “Each look tells a different story, and my job is to make that story feel alive.” With a calm presence and deep understanding of visual storytelling, she continues to collaborate with creatives who value substance as much as style.

From Classroom to Catwalk: A Story of Unexpected Beginnings

Before captivating audiences on the runways of Gucci, Dior, and Louis Vuitton, Victoria lived a quieter life in Lagos, working as an English teacher for children aged 5 and up. “I was fascinated by the English language,” she told Models.com. “Teaching was fun. I also learned to bake and even tried my hand at tailoring. My mother is a teacher, and she always encouraged us to follow stable paths.”

But fate had other plans. In early 2021, a scout from Anani Model Management discovered her on Facebook, and within months, she had walked in her first major show—Simone Rocha’s Fall/Winter 2021–2022 collection. Convincing her parents to let her attend the casting was no small feat. “They were skeptical, but my brother really believed in me and helped me take that first step,” she revealed.

Runway Domination: A Model in Demand

Victoria’s rise was meteoric. Since her debut, she has walked for Chanel, Miu Miu, Valentino, Schiaparelli, Max Mara, Jacquemus, and Sacai, among many others. Most recently, she closed the Marc Jacobs Autumn/Winter 2024 show, styled by Alastair McKimm, a milestone that cemented her place in the industry’s elite circle.

She has participated in shows not only in fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, and New York, but also in prestigious off-calendar events such as:

• Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 in Avignon
• Gucci Cruise 2026 in Florence
• Dior Fall 2025 in Kyoto
  

The Face of Global Campaigns

Beyond the catwalk, Victoria Fawole is a campaign regular for high-profile labels. She has fronted advertising for:

• Gucci Jewelry & Watches 2025 (photographed by Drew Vickers)
• Jil Sander’s “Sunrise” fragrance campaign (May 2025)
• Massimo Dutti Studio July’25 editorial
• Versace, Fendi, Alaïa, Rabanne, Sportmax, and Yves Saint Laurent

Her editorial work is equally notable. Victoria has appeared in:

• British Vogue
• American Vogue
• Vogue France
• CR Fashion Book
• D la Repubblica
• Self Service
• HTSI (Financial Times)

Photographers and creatives like Steven Meisel, Tyler Mitchell, Mario Sorrenti, David Sims, and Willy Vanderperre have all captured her distinct poise and elegance.

A Unique Presence: Calm, Controlled, and Commanding

At 5'11", with brown eyes and brown hair, Victoria’s statuesque frame and serene expression captivate both designers and audiences alike. Her measurements—32” bust, 22” waist, 34” hips, and US shoe size 8—are the blueprint of a modern couture model, but it’s her attitude and technique that truly set her apart.

“I try to work with my eyes,” she told Vogue France, referencing a modeling technique taught by her agent. “It’s the most effective strategy I’ve found so far to stay focused and present during shows.”

Her runway walk is marked by confidence and elegance, maintaining a balance between strength and restraint. “When I walk, I keep a serene face and focus on not falling. I let the clothes do the talking.”

Humble, Grateful, and Globally Inspired

Despite her rapid rise, Victoria remains grounded. She attributes much of her success to her family’s support and her personal discipline. “I never stress about things I can’t control,” she said backstage during Paris Fashion Week. Her role model? Anok Yai, the South Sudanese-American model who has inspired a generation. “Her charisma hypnotizes me,” Victoria confessed.

Her lifestyle is as cosmopolitan as her career. When in Paris, she enjoys discovering cozy cafés near the Eiffel Tower. “It’s a beautiful city to walk around, especially in the early morning before shows,” she shared.

Modeling as Freedom: Travel, Passion, Purpose

What draws Victoria most to modeling is the sense of freedom and purpose. “Being a model lets me travel the world doing what I love. It’s literally the best feeling in the world,” she declared in an interview with Vogue France. From her humble beginnings in Nigeria to the haute couture stages of Europe, her journey is both inspiring and aspirational.
