Kenya-born singer Victoria Kimani has been described as one of the most beautiful and sexiest women to ever graced the African music scene. Looking at her and seeing those captivating curves you cannot help but want to agree more. But in her own perception she sees being a sex symbol as a totally different thing and she explains in a chat with Potpourri “I don’t think that is a bad thing. I am quite aware of that. Besides, why should I apologise for owning up to what is mine. At times, I can choose to wear Hijab to cover it up. Sometimes, I decide to flaunt it. I don’t even look at what people say because this is me and I try to be myself oftentimes.   It is people who look at me as sex symbol. I think seeing me as a sex symbol should be for some people because I have not worn anything my mind did not accept. The way you see my dressing depends on who you are, if you are somebody who is extremely religious, the idea will be different. The dressing is a thing of cho...

We head to Lagos to spend time with models and agencies, to see how the country’s fashion identity is entering a bold, exciting  new era “I’m not from a worldly background,” says Ruth. When she first started modelling there was a lot she didn’t know – “I’d never heard of  Naomi Campbell , I didn’t know who  Kendall  or  Gigi Hadid  were. My booker sent me home and made me google people like  Tyra Banks ,” she says, laughing. She learned fast – “I used to like Kendall’s walk, but I’m not that into it anymore. I love Gigi’s walk.

It’s no secret that Naomi Campbell doesn’t like interviews. After 33 years in the business, and a string of tabloid-baiting moments, the model has acquired a reputation for being surly, formidable, downright difficult. Our original meeting is cancelled an hour or so before we are due to meet – Campbell cites “terrific illness” – but a promise is made to reschedule, with the possibility that she might be free over the weekend. Or that we might end up speaking by phone. But then the text arrives: we are on, for Sunday at 4pm. Give or take an hour, Campbell keeps to her word. Her publicist and I chat in the lobby of The Dorchester hotel in London, while I mentally prepare for the full force of her legendary froideur. It is almost alarming, then, to find Campbell making jokes in a suite at the hotel, where she is alone, resting an injured leg on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, full of pussycat charm. At 49, she still looks otherworldly: a body, as Bono once put it, handmade by God, and skin...
