Zimbabwean-born, model Nyasha Matonhodze has been chosen as the new face of Louis Vuitton fall/winter advertising campaign.

The 16-year-old was discovered last year and has already starred in some big-name magazines such as Teen Vogue and has walked in dozens of runway shows, Huffington Post reports.

Matonhodze walked into Elite model agency in her school uniform in 2009, she went on to win the prestigious Elite Model Look UK competition later that year, before being launched into full time modelling.

"Nyasha is not only very beautiful she has the little extra thing you can’t quite put your finger on," a spokesperson for Elite is reported as saying.

"She is intelligent, graceful and people who meet and work with her instantly fall in love with her. I have no doubt she has the potential to go all the way."
