Model Jamie Baah-Mensah For The Guardian And Observer Fashion

Ghanaian model Jamie Baah-Mensah is featured in a fashion spread, titled ‘Spring Looks‘ for The Guardian and Observer Fashion. The spread was photographed by photographer Daniel Benson. Helen Seamons handled styling duties.

In the spread, Baah-Mensah styles in spring 2016 pieces from Tim Coppens, Gosha Rubchinskiy, River Island, Zara, Prada, Asos, Gap, Nike, J.W. Anderson, Christopher Shannon, and more.

The 6’3″ model is based in London. In an interview with Models.com, Baah-Mensah explained how he was discovered: “The very first time I was discovered I was up walking around central London trying to find a shirt for work and a scout that said they were from Ford NYC asked if I was a model and if I was interested in modelling. I didn’t know much about the industry so I was like no and wasn’t so keen. So I went home and told my mum and she was like, “it’s probably a scam and they will get you to pay for a £340 shoot and say they will make you a model like what they done to your sister” – lol . So then I didn’t bother to get back in contact with them. A few months later I went to a party and a girl approached me by the name of Beverly Abronama and was like “are you a model?” I was like no she was like you should consider it because you have a lot of potential and gave me a list of agencies I should go into. Models 1 was at the top of the list. I went in, they liked me, got signed, and the rest is history – lol.”
