TOP 20 Hottest Australian Female Models
???? Rooted in Strength: Family & Origin
Ajak was born in South Sudan, one of eight siblings in a tight-knit family. After losing her mother to malaria, she fled civil war with her family and resettled in Australia.
That early experience of loss and displacement became the foundation of her inner strength. She often credits her family with instilling the resilience that fuels her today.
? Childhood: From Kenya to Melbourne
Before Australia, there was a refugee camp in Kenya. When Ajak and her family arrived in Melbourne, she didn’t speak English — but she quickly adapted.
Discovered as a teen, she began modeling in local shows, unaware she would one day walk for the most iconic names in fashion.
? Learning by Doing: Education & Mentorship
Educated in Melbourne public schools, Ajak skipped the traditional path to fame. Her true education came through lived experience — navigating culture, survival, and the sharp edge of fashion.
She found guidance in the work of supermodels of the ’90s and later collaborated with fashion titans like Steven Meisel, Edward Enninful, and Riccardo Tisci.
? Breakthrough: From Local to Global
In 2008, Ajak made her international breakthrough walking for Lanvin, Givenchy, and Jean Paul Gaultier — a moment that lit up the industry.
Since then, she has graced the runways of:
- Dior

And appeared in editorial spreads for Vogue Italia, Vogue Australia, i-D, Dazed, Harper’s Bazaar, and more.
