Youth – Inuit
Inuvik, NT
Willow Allen’s work has taken her all over the world… but no matter where she goes, she celebrates and nourishes her Inuvialuit roots. After being scouted on instagram she eventually decided to sign with Mode Models International in 2019 and quickly became one of the most sought-after new models in Canada, travelling to Singapore for her first campaign. She has worked on campaigns for Clinique, Louboutin Beauty, Canada Goose, Simons, Dean Davidson, and Quo Beauty.
When she’s not travelling around the world, Willow is working in mental health and social services roles and studying social work at the University of Manitoba. Whether it’s sharing traditional Inuit cultural practices on TikTok or speaking to international media about the power of Indigenous women, Willow never misses an opportunity to create change.
