With her striking looks, bubbly nature and mega confidence, this young brunette has in just two years shot to the very top of Pakistan’s fashion industry.
In a profile of Ayyan, Newsline‘s Maheen Bashir Adamjee writes that “Pakistan’s newest supermodel has made fashionistas, fashion magazine editors, top-designers and even veteran models sit up and take notice. She adorns covers of numerous magazines, has walked the ramp with the likes of Nadia Hussain and Vaneeza Ahmed, and has modelled for the “big boys” of fashion — all before she turned 18. She was chosen for nationwide commercials like Ufone and McDonalds, and proudly shows me her Facebook fan page, which is nearly at its 1,000-member mark.”
In the portfolio below, its clear why Ayyan has risen so far, so fast. With her chamaeleon-like ability to change her look, the model not only has elegance but also camera-melting sex appeal.
