LONDON, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Rimmel London is proud to announce international model and mental health
advocate, Adwoa Aboah, as the new global activist for the beauty brand.
Celebrating bold individualism, Adwoa will be the face of major beauty
campaigns and product launches throughout 2021 and beyond. Adwoa and Rimmel
London are like-minded in advocating self-expression and believe in the freeing
power of makeup, not to transform but to empower all wearers.
Born and raised in London, Adwoa began modelling at the age of 18 and landed
her first VOGUE cover at the age of 22. Having modelled for some of the world's
most internationally renowned and iconic fashion houses, Adwoa now joins a long
list of trailblazing women who have previously been the face of Rimmel London,
including Kate Moss, Georgia May Jagger, Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora.
Adwoa is one of the most recognisable models in the world, but she's so much
more than just a striking face – her candidness and ability to inspire open
discussion about mental health and feminist issues are what truly stand her
apart.
Rimmel London's call for greater authenticity in the beauty industry marries
well with Adwoa's own raw beauty and strong social values. Alongside her unique
and personal take on fashion and philanthropic issues, Adwoa is the founder of
Gurls Talk, a community-led non-profit dedicated to promoting the mental health
and wellbeing of adolescent girls and young women. Following Adwoa's personal
experience with mental health, Gurls Talk was formed with the goal of creating
safe spaces – both on and offline – where young women everywhere can openly
share, listen, and support each other without judgement or shame. Through
weekly podcast episodes, live events, and an online community, Gurls Talk aims
to destigmatise mental health conversations while fostering a supportive
community that gives all girls a voice.
Rimmel London is entering a new era. Whilst the brand has always pushed the
boundaries for its customers to dare to experiment and to be 'true to you,'
there is a renewed focus on celebrating and liberating bold individualists. As
the new global brand activist, Adwoa embodies a strong sense of self, personal
growth and the ability to push down barriers to open up conversation and this
perfectly aligns with Rimmel London's ambition.
Adwoa Aboah said: "I am honoured to be the new face of Rimmel London and to be
given this amazing platform to connect with people all over the world. Being
yourself isn't always that easy to do – and in the past I've really struggled
with it. Together we're going to keep encouraging people to feel comfortable in
their own skin and to be proud of the things that make them unique."
Stefano Curti, Chief Brands Officer, Coty Consumer Beauty, said: "Adwoa is one
of the most powerful voices of her generation. She never apologises for being
herself, which perfectly encapsulates Rimmel London's mission to prioritise
diversity and inclusion and to empower the people that buy our products to be
the best and truest version of themselves. Adwoa is at the forefront of modern
female conversation – effortlessly blending her advocacy for mental health,
with her role as Founder of Gurls Talk; a platform which truly champions
inclusivity, alongside her impressive modelling career. We are honoured to be
working with Adwoa and are excited for us to join forces – to create a more
inclusive, more open and better beauty industry – for all."
Together, Adwoa and Rimmel London are on a mission to nurture a world where
people feel free to express who they are, and they extend an unconditional
invitation for you to join them.
