SAINT International’s red-hot model, Sanique Dill, is feeling ‘DAZED‘.

The Waltham Park Road-by-way-of-Paris fashion star, who sent the global fashion industry into a tizzy after she closed the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2025 collection show back in March, is a cover girl on the British lifestyle magazine’s latest summer 2025 ‘Celebration Issue’.

Naturally, front-page status on DAZED is a major deal for Dill, and she has yet to come down from cloud nine when Our Today manages to get her on the phone in New York to spill details.

“It’s such a special milestone in my career,” she remarks on her first-ever magazine front page.”I feel incredibly honoured and excited. I plan on buying a few copies for myself and my family.”

Of the just-dropped cover editorial styled by Feranmi Eso and photographed by Jebi Labembika, Dill shares that it was a one-day shoot in London in April.

The edgy-chic wardrobe selections Eso outfitted Dill in are from celebrated British-Jamaican designer Martine Rose, whose adoring celeb fans include Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Hailey Bieber. While Rose was not on set, the enthused SAINT model says, “the energy and vibe with Jebi was unforgettable, and it also being my first cover shoot made it feel that more special.”

Besides this landmark achievement, the St Andrew Technical High alum, currently signed to the high-powered Elite model agency worldwide, has amassed a recent string of mega-wattage successes. From appearances in the April-released global ad campaign for Valentino’s Fall 2025 collection and the May unveiling of Miu Miu’s L’Eté 2025 campaign to Fendi’s Resort 2026 lookbook that dropped three weeks ago, Dill is sitting pretty atop the go-to callsheet.

Booking Fendi as a client felt amazing, she recounts to Our Today.

“We shot the lookbook last month in Rome, Italy,” the 19-year-old revealed of the Riccardo Raspa-lensed session which produced lush visuals of her in 13 looks from designer Silvia Venturini Fendi’s latest womenswear collection for the Italian luxury house. “It was a relaxed, exciting mood and it was really a pleasure working with the team.”

As for the new Miu Miu campaign that features Oscar-nominated actor Wilem Dafoe and ‘Star Wars‘ lead actress Daisy Ridley, the fast-rising model is pleased to end with the continued association with the luxury brand.

“It was absolutely a privilege to be part of it, and getting to meet Willem and Daisy was a great experience for me. We shot in Nice, South of France, around March,” Dill relays of the Catherine Martin-helmed project. 

“She [Catherine] is very inspiring and the atmosphere was very creative and engaging,” the hotstepper added of her plum assignment.

The campaign marks Dill’s fifth Miu Miu job. She made her exclusive international modelling debut last October for the Miu Miu Spring/Summer show at Paris Fashion Week, after SAINT chief executive officer Dewight Peters and Elite Paris lead Helen Bodet engineered her introduction.  An already buoyant career, however, went into overdrive following Dill’s appearance  as the last catwalker on the runway for the high-end label’s collection just three months ago. “Closing that show in Paris was an incredible honor. It was surreal to see the response from the press and the industry,” she remembers of the immediate traction. 

The man who discovered her, though, had long seen the writing on the wall.

“I told her father and her school principal and teachers I was going to make her an international superstar,” Peters told Our Today of the first time he laid eyes on a then-17-year-old Dill at her former Spanish Town Road high school. From the moment I spotted Sanique, I knew she was a super special model with incredible global star power potential.  I had not a scintilla of doubt. She has school to complete and that was important.” 

The modelmaker is brimming with optimism of what the future holds for the ingenue.

“The vision I had for her career is now unfolding. I will say this… stay tuned, Sanique-mania is on the horizon.” 

Dill is well aware of the industry’s reckoning, with models.com anointing her on its ‘Hot List’ a week ago, and she has intentions to add more watershed moments to her resume.

“I love what I’m doing and hard work makes the dream work. I see every job as an opportunity to go even further than I went the day before.”

As to what makes her happiest, she says, “it’s making my father Ervin proud and spending time with my family.”

And, what would the self-professed ‘Daddy’s girl’ most love to do for him in the near future?

“I’d love to buy my dad his dream car or house. It would mean so much to me to give him something that makes him happy,” she told Our Today of the man who accompanied to every SAINT training session for several months and supported her modelling aspirations long before they came true.
