She was born in Kenya but later emigrated to Australia
Adut was born in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp to Sudanese parents. At age 6, they emigrated to Australia. The now Sudanese-Australian teenager had never intended to get into modeling. As the story goes, Adut had an aunt that owned a clothing shop and at one point, she requested her to model in one of her fashion shows, and as they say, the rest was history.
Adut started strutting the runways at only age 12.
Now, aged 18, she’s the next Alek Wek, without a doubt. In 2018 only, the sassy teenager has walked the runways of all the big names in fashion such as Tom ford, Saint Lauren, Burberry, Versace, Fendi, Prada, Calvin Klein to mention but a few; and let’s not forget about all the top magazine spread features.
