Former Miss Intercontinental Kenya and international runway model Eleshia Ais captivated the global fashion scene with her stunning appearance at Turkey Fashion Week in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The celebrated model lit up the runway in bespoke designs by Oktayseven and Emrearibespoke, showcasing her elegance and international appeal.
Speaking on the sidelines of the event, Eleshia reflected on her experience in Azerbaijan with great enthusiasm.
“It was my first time in Azerbaijan Baku and the experience was amazing. This marks my sixth country as a runway model and 12th country as an international model,” she said.
Although currently not signed with any modelling agency, Eleshia shared insight into her professional experience abroad.
“I am currently under no modelling agency, and I just have my manager,” she explained.
“However, in Baku, my experience with Big Model Agency was very positive — they were very professional and received me very well regardless of where I came from.”
Beyond modelling, Eleshia is an award-winning author and a passionate advocate for talent development.
She organised the East Africa International Fashion Week in Nairobi — an event honouring and inspiring local models to aim for global runways.
