Nyle DiMarco, the latest winner of the ‘America's
Next Top Model’ Cycle 22 contest and first ever deaf contestant, along
with runner up Mame Adjei recently smiled and posed for the camera in
Hoi An.

|
Though the win was a leap forward for 26-year-old Nyle's career, the
star says he always places more importance on properly representing the
deaf community.
|
 |
|
He says American Sign Language (ASL) has made him uniquely equipped to
express himself using movement, which is very important to modelling.

 |
|
They are in Vietnam to model for the latest autumn/winter 2015 fashion collection of famed designer Do Manh Cuong.

|
"I also hope my win will inspire deaf people to do whatever they want to do in life," he says. "The possibilities are endless!"

|
Mame Adjei is a 23-year-old Ghanaian-American woman and a former Miss
USA contestant, who walked away with the fourth runner up spot, which is
quite an accomplishment.
|
 |
|
Both her parents are Ghanaians and her father became a diplomat after
studying in India— something that inspired her to set her goals in life
very high.
