Alek Wek was born in the southern Sudan town of Wau in 1977. Six years later her country was plunged into a long and brutal civil war, and in 1991 her family fled to Britain. It was in London, in 1995, that Alek's life was dramatically changed. A scout for a modeling agency spotted Alek, and has since become one of the world's top supermodels. She has also created her own line of handbags, Wek 1933. Her new memoir is called "Alek."
