Through insurmountable rejection and just as many wins, these muses have locked down luxury clients while rising through the ranks from the Hot List to the Top 50 working models in the World.

The Nigerian muse skipped her normal European route of runway shows, forgoing all except one key appearance at Jason Wu, to focus on her steady course dominating ads and magazine pages alike. Abioro, with doll features and a soft disposition, has been busy linking with brands like Calvin Klein, Fenty Skin, and Revlon while adding to her portfolio editorial scans from Vogue, Vogue Italia, WSJ, Elle, and Harper\u2019s Bazaar.<\/p>\n<p>This season was in stark contrast to her first. \u201cI didn&#8217;t know how important Prada was,\u201d Abioro recalls of her debut for the brand\u2019s Fall\/Winter 2018 show. \u201cBut the fact that my mother agent was happy, my agent in Europe was happy and I was traveling? I was super excited and that was my first time on a plane, ever.\u201d Shivering in Milan\u2019s frigid February temps with her driver\u2019s jacket, she took that initial stroll to new heights, multiplying her client base that season at Versace, Saint Laurent, Loewe, Paco Rabanne, and fittingly bookended with Miu Miu. Since then, her career has skyrocketed as she&#8217;s garnered up the support of top creatives like Nadine Ijewere, Ethan James Green, and Tyler Mitchell. &#8220;The best experience has been the traveling,\u201d Abioro says. \u201cI have never been someone to sit down in one place, so I think COVID hit me hard. I miss meeting new people and getting to work on beautiful sets. I love working on creative sets with creative minds.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Part of the Nigerian wave of top models landing big-ticket bookings, Abioro has reflected on the importance of family, faith, and giving back. The former grade school teacher has a word of advice for anyone itching to understand how to get scouted, &#8220;You have to Google and know who the agencies are. Give yourself as long as you can take to comprehend what you&#8217;re really getting into and then go to the right people. When [my mother agency] Few Models advertises on Instagram, they say, &#8220;Oh, this person is our lead scout. This person is our manager. This person is the CEO. You know who to go to if you really want to get discovered.\u201d In the makeshift set of her newly snagged apartment, even though she feels: &#8220;I suck at makeup!&#8221;, Abioro was the ultimate professional under the direction of Raquel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns\" id=\"thumbs\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\nThe Graduates<\/p>\n<ul class=\"small-block-grid-2 medium-block-grid-5\" id=\"thumbsul\">\n<li id=\"thumb-lila-moss\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-lila-moss\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_LilaMoss-200w-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_LilaMoss-200w-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n  \tLila Moss<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-eniola-abioro\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-eniola-abioro\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Eniola-200w-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Eniola-200w-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n  \tEniola Abioro<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-lina-zhang\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-lina-zhang\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_LinaZhang-200w-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_LinaZhang-200w-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n  \tLina Zhang<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-ariel-nicholson\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-ariel-nicholson\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Ariel-200w-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Ariel-200w-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n  \tAriel Nicholson<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-jeenu-mahadevan\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-jeenu-mahadevan\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Jeenu-200w-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2020\/11\/MDX_Graduates2020_Jeenu-200w-2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n  \tJeenu Mahadevan<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ bottom\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\n$(\"[id^='thumb-']\").hover(function() {\n    $(this).find('img').toggle();\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Graduates Eniola Abioro Photos by Adrienne Raquel for Models.com Editor Irene Ojo-Felix Since 2013, Models.com\u2019s The Graduates series has been a visual check-in of the model hustlers who\u2019ve cemented themselves as faces of noteworthy praise in editorial, advertisements, lookbooks, and runways.
