Adut Akech is reclaiming her name on the catwalk. Adut grew up in Adelaide in Australia, where she is known by a completely different name, Mary. Why? Because her teachers claimed they couldn’t pronounce her name.

The Sudanese-Australian model is now multi-continental. She is reigning the catwalk in the big fashion capitals: Paris, London, Milan and New York City. At 18-years old, she has opened for Chanel, closed for Saint Laurent and been photographed by Tim Walker for the Pirelli Calendar alongside RuPaul, Naomi Campbell and Diddy.

Actress and ELLE cover-star, Lupita Nyong'o has taken Adut under wing and it seems like the fashion industry has too — nobody is letting go off this star anytime soon.

We count down Adut’s best catwalk moments, from fierce Parisian, girl next door, to captain of the cruise ship.
