After creating fashion content for several months and gaining social media popularity, the 22-year-old model signed a deal with an agency last week. And now, on October 5, she walked for Chanel at Paris Fashion Week. From making her own runway on the streets of Nigeria to walking the runway for Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel , Rachel Ojuromi, aka giverachelashot, has taken the internet by storm.
To the great excitement of her followers, that same night she walked for Chanel during Paris Fashion Week in a tweed blazer styled with a lemon-yellow skirt, a classic Chanel blazer, and a cherry-red Chanel bag. In an introduction to the show, the luxury fashion house wrote on Instagram, “A story of movement, self-expression and freedom, the collection explores the many selves within each woman, the multiple lives of Gabrielle Chanel. The silhouettes travel and transform through time, from the revelation of jersey underwear to the pencil-skirt suit, to the new ‘smocked tweed’, propelling Chanel into the future.”
On October 5, Rachel posted a video of herself doing a fit check right in front of the Eiffel Tower and confessed that it was her first time outside the continent. Matthieu Blazy’s Spring/Summer 2027 showcase in Paris drew inspiration from the style evolution of Gabrielle Chanel, creating his most versatile collection to date. In fact, the show opened and closed with model Dyanira Hurbuscher carrying Gabrielle Chanel’s own 2.55 handbag from the archives, in a symbolic full-circle moment.
“First time out of the continent, kinda shy, world tour?” she wrote in the caption.
