At just 14 years old, Nigerian-British modeling sensation Jordan Oguntayo has shattered records by becoming the youngest person ever named to Forbes’ prestigious Under 30 Europe list. The teenage phenom, born to Nigerian parents in the UK, has taken the fashion world by storm since beginning his career at age seven with a Burberry campaign.
Oguntayo’s extraordinary resume boasts collaborations with luxury fashion houses including Dior, Calvin Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger, along with an impressive 300+ shoots across Europe for brands like Zara. His career milestones include walking in London Fashion Week – a rare achievement for models of any age – and becoming a sought-after face for Moncler and Primark campaigns.
Beyond his modeling success, Oguntayo has emerged as an inspirational figure for young people of color worldwide. “I want children everywhere to know that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible,” the teen shared. His historic Forbes recognition at such a young age underscores his growing influence as both a fashion icon and role model.
With his quiet confidence and professional drive, Oguntayo continues working toward his ambitious goal of becoming the world’s most-booked child model while redefining industry standards for diversity and youth representation in high fashion.
