I AM UBAH HASSAN




Name: Ubah Hassan
Nationality: Canadian
Year of Birth: 1987
Place of Birth: Somalia
Height: 5'11



Ubah Hassan was discovered in Canada when a photographer approached her at a park.
She has gone from strength to strength and even appeared in the historic issue of Vogue Italia which featured some of the hottest names in the model world.
She held her own among famous names such as Alek Wek, Liya Kebede, Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell etc proving she had what it takes to be a model icon.



She signed with Click Management Agency in New York in 2007 and appeared in Allure magazine in April 2008 after working with the photographer Regan Cameron. She also was the model of the week on Models.com in May of 2008 and in July of 2008 she was one of the models in the black issue of Vogue Italia (not bad for a newcomer). She closed Ralph Lauren’s spring show in New York and is now part of a Ralph Lauren ad campaign. In January 2009, she appeared in the Italian Vogue again, photographed by Bruce Weber.

Beauty and grace, the two words that comes into my mind.

MODEL BEHAVIOUR

Name: David Nso
Age: 30
Height: 6'3''
Country of Origin: Cameroon

According to an interview he gave to Jamati online, he started modelling because back in Cameroon, his friends used to refer to him as the young "Tyson Beckford" and they used to urge him to get into modelling so he decided to himself that once he gets to the US he would pursue this field. Well, he got to the US and the rest as they say is history!


He was initially studying to become a doctor but after ample time reflecting on his options in life, he decided to put his books on hold and pursue his first love.



He has featured in television series such as The Wire, Ugly Betty, Lipstick Jungle, Damages, Kings etc and has modelled for the Nordstrom Mens Fall Collection, NYC Fall fashion week where he took part in the Gucci promotion. He has appeared in print media such as African Vibes and Jamati online.

He has an interest in advertising, runway, fashion editorial and theatre / acting.



His look is quite fierce and his bone structure is amazing. He definitely can play between the soft easy going look and the strong manly look too!
Great bod too ;-)

Loving him, my Cameroon brotha!
