This 17 year old Sudan born Texas native is one of the freshest and most interesting faces bursting onto the fashion scene from Trump Models. Seem familiar? well that's because she is Alek Wek's niece!Her dark complexion, high cheek bones, interesting lips, and amazing height somewhat slightly mesmerize me a bit. She's not your conventional beauty but that's what I enjoy the most.
Ataui definitely hit the fashion scene hard. During her 1st major show season (this past Spring/Summer 09 fashion week) she booked Proenza Schouler and Zac Posen among other shows. She would of hit Europe fashion week but opted to return to Texas and finish her scholastic studies (smart choice Deng!). Those few appearances in the tents provided her with enough exposure for now though; Steven Meisel's studio requested her beauty and so did V magazine for some spreads. I knew Alek Wek didn't posses all the beauty and height in her family
