For many, the dream is to become famous and possibly also very rich when they are still very young. Of course, not everyone gets to see that dream fulfilled. Some become famous but not rich. some become rich but not famous, and yet some are able to become rich and famous.
Anyway, South African teen Lebo Malope is the “kid” of the moment, having made it as a model for Louis Vuitton at a time many are still trying to find their way through teen turmoil.
The scene was the unveiling of the Louis Vuitton Fall Collection with Pharrell Willaims as part of the designers. Young Malope was on the ground as part of the models showcasing the designs.
She snagged attention not only because of the prestige associated with the brand she was modelling for but because she was young as well – a teen. She was already on a global platform at an age when many his age are still contending with school runs, parental control and what say you.
The triumph is not just his but South Africa’s as well. The Rainbow Nation has been celebrating this milestone in his life since the news of the Louis Vuitton engagement popped up online.
