Charming, suave, debonair are the ways that one could describe Nigerian supermodel - Ibukun Jegede . Bursting into the limelight from obscurity, Ibukuns career has continued to flourish which undoubtedly makes him one of the most sought after African male models today. His ever-growing fan base and prominence has made him a force to be reckoned with. Ibukun is not just a pretty face and fabulous body. He is a final year University student, pursuing a degree in Information and Communication Technology at Nottingham Trent university. I have met him a few times and found him quite humble, soft spoken and charismatic : The perfect recipe for success. Standing at 6 ft 2 ' in 2008, he beat 4500 other models to win the Britain 's Next Top Model of Colour competition. He also bagged the title of the most fashionable male model in the East Midlands, United Kingdom . Other Awards: 2009 Best Male Model at the Black Entertainment, Film, Fashion, Television and Arts Awards 2010 East Midland's fashion Icon of the Year, UK.
Ibukun has graced the catwalk at top London Shows such as the London fashion week, London alternative fashion week, Wimbledon fashion week, Croydon fashion week, Mahogany bridal Show, Fashion Africa and the House of Fraser Fashion Show. This young man has also modelled garments for top notch designers and clothiers such as like Paul Smith, Fred Perry, Timberland, Hugo Boss, DKNY and Aaron Dowie. I believe that this man, despite his achievements has a whole lot more to give. The future? I see a lot more accolades coming his way.
