Educating a girl is educating a nation
This statement underscores the importance of investing in girls’ education and development
Giving girls access to quality education and training is a sign that they can be educated and develop into competent and confident individuals
This not only benefits the individual girl but also the society as a whole.
For University of Zimbabwe student and model Adlaid Matutu, 22, balancing her passion for fashion with her academic commitment is her priority.
Being on top is her desire and it’s a matter of time and opportunity.
She has worked with renowned designers, photographers, and fashion brands and has graced numerous runway shows, fashion campaigns, and magazine covers.
The beauty queen ignores stereotypes and is currently studying Economics.
She wants to use her platform to advocate for inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry, allowing aspiring models of all backgrounds to pursue their dreams.
“I am also aiming to break down barriers and challenge conventional beauty standards by empowering aspiring models from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
“While I have been privileged to work in this industry, it is important to remember that diversity and representation matter.
“I want to inspire other young women to pursue their passions without feeling limited by societal expectations,” Matutu said.
The beauty queen, who was born and raised in Chegutu, commenced her journey into fashion at a young age when she was first exposed to the captivating world of modelling.
Blessed with a natural flair for fashion, she quickly gained recognition for her unique features and ability to effortlessly command the runway.
Matutu’s handlers praised her determination and discipline, as well as her ability to excel both academically and in the fashion industry.
“Unlike many aspiring models who go all-in on their fashion careers, Matutu decided to concurrently pursue her education.
“She does not let the rigours of academia dim her dreams of modelling success. Juggling lectures, assignments, and extracurricular activities, she maintains her radiant presence in the fashion industry.
“Her tenacity and ability to excel in both areas of her life have won her admiration from her peers and instructors alike,” said Nick Ncube, one of her handlers.
Her natural beauty, confidence, and poise have made her a sought-after muse for many fashion professionals in Zimbabwe.
