Janumala was only 16 when Gunita Stobe of Anima Creative Management spotted her. It is a Mumbai-based modelling agency that pitches Indian models to big design houses across the world, including Fendi and Louis Vuitton. She landed the opportunity to work in Rihanna's luxury fashion brand Fenty through her agency in Paris, New Madison.
In no time, she was one of the top Indian faces in the international luxury brands such as Adidas, H&M, Alexander Wang, Nike X Nordstrom, American Eagle, Levi’s, Opening Ceremony X Disney and Matthew Adams Dolan. Naomi is 90s Bollywood comic actor Johnny Lever’s niece; her father Jimmy Moses is also a comedian who was part of the Hindi movie Soorma, starring Diljit Dosanjh. Naomi's athletic tomboy endurance must have appealed to the international market. After featuring in several top Indian magazines, she was signed on by Elite NYC, having walked for several New York Fashion Week shows.
Naomi said in an interview to a popular fashion magazine that she would work in a creative field such as acting, photography or interior designing if not a model. (Photos: Instagram)
