She Never Planned to Become a Model — Now She’s Building Her Own Place in Fashion. ✨

For her, modelling wasn’t something she set out to pursue. It happened almost by chance when a friend invited her to accompany him to a shoot for Sennati. Once there, the designer asked her to try on the clothes—and just like that, she found herself in front of the camera. What started unexpectedly has since grown into a journey through fashion, with styling now becoming her biggest focus.

Her relationship with fashion started much earlier. From thrift shopping for herself at just 11, fashion became a form of self-expression and, over time, a process of discovering her purpose within the industry.

And if modelling had never happened, she believes she would have followed her mother’s path as a Special Needs advocate, particularly through working with children and continuing the legacy her mother built.

Today, what drives her is bigger than her own career. She sees enormous creative potential in her home country and wants to be part of building an industry that puts its creatives on the global map.

From an unexpected first shoot to finding her purpose in styling, her story is a reminder that sometimes the path finds you before you find it. 🇰🇪✨

Meet Victoria: A Creative Shaping Her Own Canvas 🎨✨

From painting alongside her father at just five years old to exploring the worlds of modeling and makeup, Victoria’s creative journey has always been rooted in art and self-expression.

In our conversation with Fashionverse Africa, she opens up about how modeling has shaped her personal style, her mood-driven approach to painting, and her growing interest in merging art with makeup. Constantly experimenting with colour, body art and creative expression, Victoria is carving out a space that feels uniquely hers.

With a dream collaboration with Sierra Rena on her wishlist and a future in fashion design on her mind, Victoria is only getting started.
