The new face takes Document behind the scenes at Louis Vuitton, divulging this season’s best looks and best catering.
Since beginning his career in 2020, model Adamu Bulus has secured his place as one of the fastest growing talents in the industry. A returning face at Louis Vuitton, she’s walked for DIOR, Moncler, Versace and Jil Sander, posed editorially for Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Numéro and Hunger Magazine (and earned a Breakout Star nomination from Models.com) along the way. A pandemic-induced hiatus barely slowed Bulus down. “Everything is getting better, thanks to me, my agencies around the world, my casting directors and the clients I’ve worked with,” he tells Document, midway through Paris Men’s Fashion Week. “I had an incredible year and I think I will continue to break new ground.”
It’s a busy stretch for anyone in the fashion world, but for models, perhaps, most of all. Between auditions, auditions, shows and endless parties, Bulus found time to chronicle her work week, divulging her best and hardest moments, her dream collaborations and her favorite Fall/Winter 2023 looks.
