Vorna Valley star’s rise to fame

Vorna Valley resident Kenneth Lucien is an aspiring actor and a model who represents the Chanel brand at the Mall of Africa.

He has worked with the brand for seven years and has done many photoshoots for the perfume company.

“Chanel has helped me uplift my modelling brand. This includes allowing me to use its influence when doing shoots, castings, and many more,” he said.
The 28-year-old model said he had to start ‘from the bottom’ as any other model had to do to get where he was today.
He was inspired by Portugal football player and model Cristian Ronaldo to get into modelling and began his career at Soweto Fashion Week without any experience.

“A successful model and actor enjoy every minute of their work. The growth, networking, and experience that comes within the industry is true success.”

The shoots for Fashion Week increased his visibility on social media and this led to some of the most prestigious brands inviting him to work with them including John Craig, Polo and Pringle of Scotland. He also competed in Mr South Africa 2020.

“The experience I gained while competing for the Mr SA title was massive as I finished in the finals of the competition amid Covid-19. With so much dedication and passion, my brand grew nationwide, and I had so much fun seeing the ultimate growth. One break led to another.

“My story is to encourage others to never give up on their dreams despite life’s challenges and obstacles that are bound to happen. The road to success is not for the faint-hearted but with the right approach and determination, all is possible.”
