If you're looking for a fresh face to inspire your spring wardrobe, look no further than Akon Changkou. The Sudanese model, who has walked for brands like Dior, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen, is the star of a stunning editorial in the May issue of Harper's Bazaar US.

Photographed by Alexi Lubomirski and styled by Miguel Enamorado, the shoot features Akon Changkou in a variety of colorful and chic outfits that showcase her natural beauty and elegance. From a vibrant yellow dress by Brandon Maxwell to a sleek black jumpsuit by Givenchy, Akon Changkou proves that she can pull off any look with ease and grace.

The editorial also highlights some of the season's hottest trends, such as floral prints, ruffles, and statement earrings. Akon Changkou wears pieces from Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and more, accessorized with dazzling jewelry from Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Harry Winston.

"I want to be a voice for the voiceless," she says. "I want to inspire young girls who look like me to follow their dreams and never give up."
