“Don't take a 'no' personally. It's not you,

it's just the industry. You're someone's

no, but you're [also] somebody else's yes.”

Since beginning her modelling career

at the age of 6, Eva Apio has established

herself in the fashion world and beyond.

After being rejected from the industry for

being “too short," the resilient model

earned a much-deserved contract with

Storm Models before ending up at

Premier today, securing jobs with

Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Off White and more.

From being name dropped in rap songs

to launching her own self-titled foundation

giving back to underprivileged children in

her native Uganda, Apio continues to

prove her beauty is more than skin deep.

Catching up with her friend, TV and radio

presenter Maya Jama for our Autumn 2021

issue, Apio reflects on her journey into

modelling, struggles with internet fame,

and how the fashion industry is finally

changing for the better.
