ODDA 31 Zaya Wade

ODDA 31 “An Emotional Turmoil” is a journey between what you love, what you fear, pain, excitement, choices and evolution, always looking forward to what’s next.

As we prepare for 2027 and our 15 years of publishing ODDA, the Fall/Winter 2026-27 & Resort 2027 issue plays a key role in how we envisioned fashion for the last 14 years and where we plan to go from here.

For one of the new issue’s covers, we meet Zaya Wade, a model, creative and advocate whose journey has always been shaped by curiosity, self-expression and the courage to keep discovering who she is. For her, not having everything figured out is no longer something to fear, but a reason to keep moving forward.

For ODDA 31, Zaya chats with Giulio Polverigiani about growing up in the public eye, fashion as a form of self-expression, curiosity, vulnerability, community and learning to embrace the unknown.
