Mélie Tiacoh
Mélie Tiacoh was born in Paris but raised in Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire. At this year’s VS show, she became not only the first Ivorian model to walk for the brand, but the first Guinean one too – as she is of mixed heritage. On finding out that she was to walk in the show, she told her Instagram followers that it was an honor to represent ‘Ivory Coast, Africa, and Diversity’.
This was not Tiacoh’s first time attending Victoria’s Secret casting. In fact, it was her fourth time attempting to become a VS model! Tiacoh has also worked with brands such as Mac, Dior, and Loquet, as well as starring on the cover of Life Magazine’s 10th-anniversary issue.
