Aya Jones – The Lions (New York)
Where are you from originally? How were you discovered?
I’m from Ivory Coast and France. My father is from Ivory coast and my mother is French. I grew up in Paris in the 11th district. I was discovered in the street near rue de Rivoli. A man stopped me in the street and asked me if I wanted to become a model.
What has been your proudest moment so far in your modeling career?
My first show (for Prada) was amazing. It coached me a lot for all the shows and editorials after.
What is one thing you would like to do next?
I would love to do a cosmetics or perfume campaign!
