University of Lagos undergraduate Ololade Ayelabola is on a mission to break the Guinness World Record for the longest distance walked on a catwalk by a model, defying industry standards and promoting inclusivity.
At 5’10”, Ololade was previously rejected by two national fashion shows for not meeting height requirements, fueling her determination to challenge these rigid norms.
Aimining to walk non-stop for 96 hours, Ololade seeks to break the 41-year-old record, raise awareness about inclusivity in modeling, and challenge Africa’s strict height requirements
Her inspiring journey has sparked conversations about body standards and fashion industry pressures.
