The South Sudanese American model has become one of the most in-demand faces in fashion
I love paintings when it feels like you’re intruding,” says Anok Yai.We are standing in front of Kerry James Marshall’s Untitled , which hangs in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The painting is a glimpse into an artist’s workspace, with a model seated, her head in the hands of an artist’s assistant who is staring at the viewer. It is as if you’ve disturbed something—or maybe the viewer is the artist, about to tackle the half-completed canvas that sits to the left of the frame.
Yai had gone to a dinner the night before that celebrated her work with Mugler on Alien Hypersense, so when she gets to the museum today, she has a pair of translucent pink sunglasses on—a chic way to acknowledge the toll of a late night out. They come off, though, as soon as she enters the galleries and starts looking around.As we walk through the museum, Yai stops in front of the works that catch her attention, allowing her eye to draw her to where we go next.
