Normani Kordei Chats About Her Transition Into Fashion After Signing With Wilhelmina
Normani Kordei has signed with Wilhelmina to be one of their new celebrity models. Vogue Runway dropped the news earlier today, May 15. Highlights from that interview are below.
On signing with Wilhelmina: “I’ve always wanted to get into the fashion space. It’s something that I’ve been inspired by ever since I was a little girl. Now, more than ever, I feel like music and fashion play off of each other with music being one of the great influences and artists dominating in the fashion space as well. It’s something that I wanted to be part of.”
On her love of Naomi Campbell: “In my mind, I always wanted to be like Naomi Campbell. Being a young African-American female, having someone to represent me, whether I was looking at a magazine or on a runway at a fashion show, [seeing her,] I felt like I could do the same exact thing—she made me feel like I could also walk the runway, even though I’m about 5 foot 4.”
