Answers to Q&A
Why did you want to become a model?
Growing up, I was a huge fan of Cindy Crawford and the supermodels. I loved flipping through magazines and watching them in commercials and music videos, which sparked my interest in the fashion world. As I got older, I started taking it seriously and fell in love with the creative side of things. What I enjoy most is working with brands and being part of their creative vision. Dressing up for shoots is a blast, almost like playing different characters. Collaborating with photographers, stylists, and designers allows me to bring cool ideas to life as part of a creative team. The best part is meeting new people and contributing to someone else's vision. For me, modeling isn't just a job – it's a way to have fun, be creative, and connect with awesome people. It's like a mix of enjoyment, creativity, and building great relationships.
What makes you special?
What sets me apart is my unique look, mainly highlighted by my distinctive hair. I see my hair as a bold statement, whether I'm trying out different colors or rocking a unique cut. It's not just a style; it sparks conversations and shows I'm open to new experiences. On set, my versatile hair lets me easily switch things up - keeping it straight or curly, smooth or voluminous. This simple but expressive element adds creativity to every photoshoot, reflecting my openness to diverse styles and experiences.
what are you passionate about?
I have a couple of big passions in life that keep things interesting for me. First off, there's fashion—I love putting together outfits, shopping for new pieces, and keeping my wardrobe fresh. Another thing I'm really into is traveling. My goal is to explore as many countries as possible because I enjoy meeting new people, immersing myself in different cultures, and trying to pick up a bit of a new language.
What ties everything together for me is the constant desire for self-improvement and learning new things. Whether it's getting better at something in my personal life or growing professionally, this drive keeps life exciting and fulfilling. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth, making it a dynamic and enjoyable journey.
who is your favourite model?
When it comes to supermodels, I can't narrow down a single favourite because each one brings a unique flair to fashion that I find captivating. However, if I were to highlight someone from the current scene, Alton Mason has quickly become a standout for me. His mesmerizing presence not only commands attention on runways but also translates seamlessly into editorial work. It's the dynamic fusion of his runway charisma and editorial finesse that consistently earns my admiration and serves as a significant source of influence. He fearlessly embraces the art of mixing and matching bold pieces, creating looks that exude confidence and individuality. This aspect of his fashion identity has become a powerful source of inspiration for me. In fact, it has sparked a personal initiative to break away from my tendency to stick to a predominantly black wardrobe.
Describe your dream photoshoot.
One of my biggest dreams in modeling is to work with Calvin Klein, a brand that I really connect with because of its simple and stylish vibe. In my dream photoshoot, I see myself on set, rocking Calvin Klein's classic jeans and chic bra tops, capturing that effortless yet creative look they're known for.
I imagine being in the heart of New York City, taking my dream to the next level. Working with Calvin Klein's creative team would be amazing. Picture-perfect moments against the city skyline, maybe even ending up on a huge billboard in Times Square – that's the ultimate goal for me in the world of modeling.
