Johannesburg, South Africa – Giselle Niemand is adding another international chapter to her career as she prepares for a journey spanning Germany, France and South Korea.
The 16-year-old multi-disciplinary artist will depart South Africa next week for Germany before continuing to France, where she will take part in Paris Fashion Week. Giselle will participate in the Africa In Paris showcase from 2 to 4 October 2026. The event is presented by Africa Fashion Week in collaboration with Noir Fashion Week Paris.
She will model for New Romantics Couture, following the South African fashion house’s success at Africa Fashion Week last year and its resulting opportunity to showcase internationally.
After completing her Paris Fashion Week commitments, Giselle will travel to Seoul on 5 October. She is scheduled to perform at the 2026 Itaewon World Music Spirit Festival, an international event bringing together performers from different countries. Giselle reached the final round after organisers reviewed her submitted performance material during preliminary screening and invited her to perform.
Her festival package includes accommodation, sightseeing and a VIP selection of Korean beauty and food products. Her performance is also expected to be filmed and produced for international distribution. The upcoming trip follows international appearances that have taken Giselle to the United States and United Arab Emirates, as well as New York Fashion Week. With music, modelling, acting and dance forming part of her career, Giselle’s next international journey reflects the range of disciplines she continues to pursue.
Her route is clear: Germany first, Paris next, and Seoul after that. Giselle Niemand’s International Journey Continues With Paris Fashion Week Johannesburg, South Africa
