Koj was born in war-torn South Sudan, spent four years in Egypt, and then migrated to Australia with her family at age seven. WhoWhatWear writes that Koj was the first African model to open a fashion show in Australia: the Georgia Alice show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in 2016. Now this great beauty joins Adut Akech, Akiima and Duckie Thot on the precipice of an international fashion career.
“I love it,” she says. “You feel like a princess; your heels might be hurting but you can’t let the audience know; you must walk gracefully and elegantly.”
