Alek: My Life from Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel Paperback - 2008

by Alek Wek

This inspirational and accessible life story follows the Sudanese-born international supermodel who was forced to flee her countrys rising civil war. Eight-page color photo insert.


From the publisher

Alek Wek has been the face of ad campaigns for companies ranging from Coach to Michael Kors to Nars and has worked the runways on behalf of designers such as Diane von Furstenberg and Christian Dior. Yet her defining moments extend beyond the runways of New York, Milan, Paris, and London.

Born to a middle-class family in the Sudan, Wek found her life suddenly inverted when civil war broke out among outlaw militias, the Muslim-dominated government, and southern rebels. The conflict not only killed two million people, it created an entire community of refugees, including Wek's family--many of whom fled to London. Here is Wek's incredible, daring story of rising from refugee to international supermodel.
