You totally read right! Supermodel Agyness Deyn is now a mannequin—which I’d prefer 100 times more than being in the wax museum—think of all the outfit changes!

Rootstein Display Mannequins is unveiling their new masterpiece at a party in NYC tomorrow. First an issue of i-D devoted exclusively to her, replacing Kate Moss as the face of the Burberry brand, and now this?! Can she get anymore iconic?!

In a time when supermodels are on more magazine covers for their cocaine scandals and assault charges, Alek Wek needs to be celebrated. What better day to highlight this inspiring woman than today—International Women’s Day!

Alek, a Sudanese refugee, recently founded a non-profit organization called, W.E.K. or Working to Educate Kids and last year she released an autobiography entitled Alek documenting her journey from a childhood of poverty in Sudan to the catwalks of Europe. Yea, she’s that awesome.

So take a look beyond the Victoria’s Secret ads and Galliano runway and get to know, Alek Wek.
