Kenyan-born model based in UK,
Malaika Firth landed a big gig with Italian fashion label Prada for
autumn/winter 2013 campaign ad.
The 19-year-old Malaika Firth featured in the fashion house's new print campaign along with supermodel Christy Turlington, Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen, Australian model Catherine McNeil, Chinese model Fei Fei Sun, American model Amanda Murphy and French model Caroline de Maigret.
The presence of Firth in this campaign is undeniably symbolic because the last black model to star in a Prada advertisement campaign was Naomi Campbell 19 years ago when Malaika Firth was born.
Firth who started modelling two years ago has previously appeared on the Asos website and in Rollercoaster magazine. The Prada campaign is her first advertising campaign which is a massive endorsement for career.
