Answers to Q&A
What inspired you to become a model?
My path towards modeling started with a realization of the influence one can have through fashion. I was deeply inspired by athletes and individuals not traditionally associated with the fashion industry who embraced modeling. Seeing them break barriers and redefine norms sparked in me the desire to be part of this diverse and inclusive world. The flexibility and universal appeal of fashion, and its ability to connect with various people, motivated me to apply as a model. I'm fascinated by the idea of using clothes as a medium for expression, which led me to pursue modeling with enthusiasm and curiosity.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
One of the aspects I cherish most about modeling, especially as someone new to the field, is the opportunity it provides to experiment with my personal style. Each outfit offers a fresh perspective, allowing me to express different facets of my personality. The experience of trying on styles that are outside my typical wardrobe is both exciting and eye-opening. It challenges me to expand my style horizons and discover new preferences, making every modeling opportunity a journey of self-discovery.
Can you share some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
If there's something I would share with those looking to start a career in modeling, it's the importance of confidence. It's natural to feel uncertain, especially in the beginning, but remember that the modeling world is vast and varied. There's a place for everyone, with diverse roles and opportunities suited for different occasions and styles. Embracing your unique qualities and being confident in your potential is crucial. Don’t let self-doubt hold you back. Each of us brings something special to the table.
Share a fun fact about yourself!
Away from the camera and the runway, one of my simplest pleasures is enjoying a meal at 7 Lives Tacos in Kensington. This place holds a special spot in my heart – not just for its delicious tacos but for the sense of normalcy and comfort it brings to my life. It's a reminder to savour the small joys and a place where I can unwind and reflect on my journey, both as an individual and as someone stepping into the world of modeling.
