What Don't we know about Letoya Johnstone?
Letoya: Letoya Johnstone is a wholehearted individual coming from a humbled background. He owns " Toy Toy models " and always speak his mind even if the world is bitter about it.
How has Kenya fashion Awards influenced your journey?
Letoya: It is through Kenya fashion Awards that the industry saw the Magic I was able to instill in models. They gave me opportunity to work with them and I believe doors started opening not only for me but also for younger models. Kenya Fashion Awards has created a platform that is so massive hence watching them growing in the three years I worked with them made me learn so much. I am a better person today because of the Kenya fashion Awards.
What's your secret to success?
Letoya: Others would say hard work but to me it is the failure and rejection I face everyday in my life. Not being comfortable makes me realize how important the journey of every day is, and so learning and wanting to reach your dream goal is a fight that is for eternity. My drive or secret is based on my failure and being vulnerable enough to know whenever I am so broken. As a human being you must be broken . That's how light comes in.
By the way you always look amazing, what are your top three fashion tips?
Letoya: 1. Learning your body type and face. 2. Understanding and owning your style. 3. Basing on mind that not everything works for your body. After all fashion fades but style remains for eternity.
The other day you were seen with Diamond's wife Zari. How did you guys meet?
Letoya: I was called to style her for a function. That's how we met. Simply through my work as a fashion stylist.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Letoya: Hahahaha does a boyfriend have me? Anyway, I am not dating and I doubt if Kenya is ready for a fabulous and flamboyant person like me. Let's just say the man will come to me when I reach Canaan.
Hehehehe, you're funny Toy - toy. How did you get into the fashion industry?
Letoya: Through fixing the mistakes that people made. More so the models.
Who is killing it with love for you fashion wise both locally and internationally and why?
Letoya: Locally I will bet it is Galina Tatarinova of Only You Fashion House or Kenya fashion Awards. She understands her directions and she has stayed true to her style. The next one is Damaris Muga of " Toi Market " blog. That girl can put on anything and you will be amazed. Most probably because she was a model in Paris. The last one is Carol Odero. Her attitude is larger than life. I call her queen of fire and good luck. Her intelligence and her body is money. Internationally it's " Andre Leon Talley and Dame Anna wintour ." They know what class is and where glass needs to be.
Is there pressure on you now that you are famous?
Letoya: There has always been pressure darling. Fame is there but again I haven't reached the level I had anticipated myself to be. Well, expectations are rising every day but I am handling it so well because my mama raised a good kid.
What's your favorite way to spend the day?
Letoya: Working in the hospital providing service to the patients who needs counseling and psychological therapy. Or Reading motivational books to enable me grow myself. It's always done in an extremely quiet place.
You have a management company for models right? Tell us about that.
Letoya: It is called " Toy Toy models " . It is a modeling agency that molds people into being wonderful models for now and future, Both locally and internationally. It is the best place to be in if you genuinely want to be that perfect model.
What would you say is in right for the summer?
Letoya: So much since fast fashion has taken over. It will be crazy to even mention one because it changes so fast that by the time you will be posting this something will be in the market.
Thank You so much for coming through Letoya we'll be keeping an eye on you!
