THE RETURN TO SELF ...

After years of suffering from bullying in his younger years due to the difference in his skin.

Robert Essel (@iamressel10) finally found the strength to embrace his uniqueness...

... And like a phoenix rising from the ashes...

He now proudly shines bright as a top model in Accra's fashion industry ⭐ ... And he also educates, campaign and raise awareness about vitiligo.

His mission is to encourage and uplift everyone who has vitiligo or feels different in society.

He stands as a beacon to remind you that your difference/uniqueness is your GIFT!

Stoop itt! I’m so honoured to have a 12 page spread in @fashionability_mag July 2026 🪩

It’s so surreal seeing some of my career highlights so far all in one place, and that my normalising fashion styled sitting down series has well and truly gone so far beyond Instagram now ✨

And what an absolute dream to be featured in a magazine amongst such talented and gorgeous people that are doing amazing things in the industry!

Also want to shout out to the adapted brands that I mentioned in the article: @humanbeautyldn @unhidden.uk @intotum_fashion @recondition.mcr @kaci_kemp @trend_tonic @primark .
I wish I could have given shoutouts to all the wonderful talented brands, designers and people I have come across and met during my career so far but thank you all so much for everything you do and how hard you work, keep smashing it!!!

I do want to mention @maymarigolduk who also has an article in this addition. I’m still so thankful that I got to roll down the runway for May at London Fashion Week last September at @biglobalofficial show 💛

I would absolutely love it if you could take the time to read my article and check out the rest of the magazine, and i can’t wait to hear what you think 💕

There were days Robert Essel didn't want to leave the house. Now he's on runways, shirtless, describing the vitiligo across his back like a map of islands drawn across his skin and calling it the most powerful thing about him. ⁠
