Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek covers Arise Magazine (Issue 10) in their world cup special edition. Amidst all the football buzz around, fashion still finds it way redefine; The front cover features Alek in a boyish yet high fashion pose.. Loving  the black swimsuit, the Jabulani worldcup football and the fact that she’s got two watches on – upsetting the status quo!

Also, feaatured in this issue is Nigeria’s own Oluchi Orlandi , shown in the photo below sporting the Nigerian official football jersey with some denim shorts and the ‘double-watch’ concept is repeated.

Absolutely loving this Issue of the Magazine..
