Favorite modeling experience so far?
Taking photos is pretty sick, all the shoots are cool in their way, it’s really hard to compare. I had a lot of fun in Burberry and 1205 since they were my first shows and they were very kind and gentle with the models. And the best changing team goes for… Valentino, they were super nice.
