One of Australia’s and the world’s black most successful international runway models-Ajak Deng announced yesterday to her fans that she has decided to end her modeling career because of ‘fakes and lies’ in the fashion industry.’
Ajak Deng, from Sudan, who fled to Australia as a refugee has modeled for a number of high profile designers including Dior, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Jean Paul Gaultier, and starred in campaigns for Topshop, Barneys, MAC and Levis.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday morning, Deng made it clear that she was moving on—to live the quiet and true life she deserves as she is tired of all the drama the fashion industry has been serving her.
The 26 year model wrote;
PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD.
I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THE FASHION INDUSTRY, I WILL BE MOVING BACK TO AUSTRALIA IN ORDER TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT I FULLY DESERVED. WHICH IS REAL LIFE.
