Emmanuel
Former Big Brother Shine Ya Eyes housemate, Emmanuel was spotted representing fashion brand, Cute-Saint on Friday. This is not surprising as the former reality star has always had a modeling career.

Wearing a mustard jacket and red trousers, Emmanuel thrilled the audience when he walked on the runway.

So far, he walked the runway in collections from Cute-Saint and JZO on Thursday, and Emmy Kasbit on Friday. On his fashion experience, he said, “I have been modeling for a long time. I am not new to fashion week as I attended the 2017 LFW”.

Before Big Brother Naija: LevelUp, a reality TV show that introduced Allysyn to us, Allysyn was a professional model. A few months after the Big Brother Naija show ended, Allysyn modeled at the Lagos Fashion week on Friday. She had the crowd cheering after cat-walking at the runway wearing a long cream dress with thigh-high slit from designer, Rick Dusi.
