Nigeria’s Next Supermodel enters year six

By Olamide Jasanya

Organisers say they’re hard at work on the next edition of the popular model search TV reality show, Nigeria’s Next Super Model.

This series, according to Mr Abayomi Usim, the creative director of NNSM, is the sixth of its kind, and has been themed ‘Shades of You’.

Among the promo images were pictures of past winners and runners up of the editions of the NNSM, including the 2008 World Best Model, Bunmi Ademokoya, Eunice Eyo, Imade Ogbewi, Claudia Adelu and Aisha Bello – all styled by Abayomi Usim, made up by Omu Igho Elohor and photographed by Italian Emilio Conti.

Conceived by Joan Okorodudu in 2007 after her return from France, the show has gathered popularity and attracted sponsorship from both local and international bodies such as Dark and Lovely, L’Oreal, and Swarovski.
