From Kenya to Chanel: Nella with Waridi Wardah-Probst
May 02, 2026
Nella Nencini-Hutchings
I met Waridi on a flying safari in Namibia. As we explored the most dramatic parts of Namibia's Skeleton Coast, sat side by side in the Cessna 210, on the roof of the landrover, chatted over sundowners in the red sand and oysters on the deserted beach (except for fur seals), we became friends. Her story of growing up in Kenya, leaving for Abu Dhabi, getting discovered and becoming a successful runway model in London, New York and now Berlin - is exceptional. It's one of courage, determination and - ultimately self-respect. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
