What character did you draw about yourself?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou know, it\u2019s more than just a character &#8211; it\u2019s the way I drew my career. I came into fashion and I had no idea what fashion was. I came from my mother who was a very glamorous woman but we didn\u2019t have much. She didn\u2019t have things like Chanel, she wasn\u2019t that kind of glamorous but she was very poignant, and always pushed me to be myself. You know, you go back to school and you come back and you say \u201cMom, I want that jacket!\u201d and she would say \u201cwhy do you want that jacket\u201d and I said, \u201cBecause everybody has that jacket\u201d and she said \u201cthat\u2019s exactly why you should not have it! Which jacket do you really like? Let\u2019s go get the one you like not the one that everybody else has\u201d She always said, \u201cjust find your way.\u201d If you see the picture that was taken of me when I was 17 in London by Juergen Teller, for his Go Sees book, you should look at the way I dressed then. I had leather pants, a Russian scarf on top with red roses and a top and a red corset.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n&#8220;If you see the picture that was taken of me when I was 17 in London by Juergen Teller, for his Go Sees book, you should look at the way I dressed then. I had leather pants, a Russian scarf on top with red roses and a top and a red corset.&#8221;\n<\/div>\n<p>I knew since the beginning, what kind of a model I wanted to be. Maybe I\u2019m one of the poorest top models in the fashion business because I never like to sell myself too commercially. When I say cheesy or commercial stuff I don\u2019t want to be snobby about it, I just say when you look the way that I am being represented it&#8217;s very specific. You know, it\u2019s not just the way I look it\u2019s the way I wanted to be seen. For me that was important. I had that inside of me since the beginning even if I had no idea of so many other things. I\u2019d rather shoot for an unknown magazine for a good project with a new photographer than go for something that I just don\u2019t feel is right. I always had to feel comfortable, I want to be happy when I go to work, I want to feel satisfied. It\u2019s so frustrating when you\u2019re a model because there is so many things that you do but so many things that you cannot do. So, at least for the little that you do you should be very proud of when you go home you can say you took a damn good picture!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Damn good picture, damn good walk, for sure!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe picture, the collaboration, the relationship that you have with the designer and photographer.

I am actually really pleased that Givenchy asked me when I announced I was pregnant to still work for them. I was under contract for Dahlia Noir Perfume and I said you know, I\u2019m pregnant, I have to do the promotion, and I hope it\u2019s not a problem.

It was hard, it is hard, but as a woman we have to. For example, I find that Riccardo as a kid who grew up with 8 sisters and his mother, he knows exactly a woman\u2019s worth. We are everything. We\u2019re business, we\u2019re mothers, we\u2019re wives, we\u2019re sluts to our husbands, we\u2019re cookers, we\u2019re cleaners, you have to embrace all of that. Once you become a mother you feel more powerful and that you can manage everything. Of course we\u2019re allowed to have a down moment but we\u2019re just made for this.

And then, Juergen asked me if I could pose for him (for Flair Magazine) and at that point I was like a fat, pregnant woman. I felt like a whale! Juergen is quite realistic and I was afraid it would be a little grotesque but I thought, you know what? Yes. Take my picture and let\u2019s show the world how I am a woman.

In my house, I grew up with two brothers, and we just had open doors and everybody was just\u2026 it\u2019s not like nudist but we\u2019re just very open. I also don\u2019t have a very vulgar body. When you start modeling they ask on a page if you have any tattoos, weight, what you\u2019re open to do, what you\u2019re not\u2026 I had at 17 already said no to lingerie, no to bathing suits, yes to nudes! I felt more vulgar in a bathing suit than naked.\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S03_003.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1629\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S03_003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S03_003-840x1069.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S03_003-805x1024.jpg 805w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S03_003-157x200.jpg 157w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\">Dress ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, Bra LA PERLA, Anklets in metal and leather KTZ, Anklet in metal and rings on feet A.O.C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\n<strong>There are quite a few established women photographers but fashion is so dominated by men. How was it working with Emma?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh I loved it! She\u2019s so easy. First of all we had a terrible day for the beach. We had to go on a boat to get to this like, Atlantis Island and the sea was really bad and choppy. Then to get from the boat to the rock we had to just jump in the water. I had to kind of, climb onto it. She would just laugh a certain way and the connection we had was great. She\u2019s fast, took gorgeous beautiful pictures, and we really had a connection straight away with all of the team. Margherita (Moro) the stylist, she\u2019s amazing and I knew her since she was really little so to see her grow up is amazing. I was so pleased and so happy. Everything was just so organic for all of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How important is it to have an established relationship with the photographer who captures your image?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think an example are really good friends of mine which I adore like Mert &#038; Marcus. Still, when I go to their shoots I get really excited. I get excited even with Ricky. I think when you get excited to show up it means you still love it and that\u2019s why I think I still model. I think when I lose that part I\u2019m just going to stay home. I want to wake up and be excited\u2026 I want to go there like oh my god this is cool, I just want to be there.\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_137.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1828\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_137.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_137-840x1200.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_137-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_137-140x200.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\">Lace top AZZARO, Swimwear LAURA URBINATI, Anklets in metal and leather KTZ, Anklet in metal and rings on feet A.O.C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\n<strong>It\u2019s a very existential question but what\u2019s next for you? What have you not done?<\/strong><br \/>\nModeling wise I feel like I\u2019ve done everything, but I always brief my agents that I\u2019m open for new magazines and new photographers. I love to search for new talent. I don&#8217;t want to be that girl that only shoots for high fashion things. I feel it\u2019s good to always challenge yourself. I love this period of really good new kids too. For me, this would look stupid but I really am very concentrated on happiness and serenity always. Whatever is next for me, which I have a lot of projects, also outside it\u2019s always going to be in the fashion world. Collaborations or my own things I don\u2019t want to say too much, but a lot of good exciting things are coming on the horizon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n&#8220;You have to always ground yourself and say don\u2019t lose yourself, don\u2019t lose your soul, don\u2019t lose your goals, don\u2019t lose who you are.&#8221;\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s already been like a lifetime. I could go and retire, but I don\u2019t want to finish my life as a model. I want to transform myself into something a step above. It\u2019s not like I&#8217;m going to be a photographer or a designer\u2026 you can do a lot of other things. I always want to connect my role as a public persona with an awareness or charity. I do my own things where I take care of people back in Kenya where I spent a lot of years. I don\u2019t want a traditional foundation because I don\u2019t want to be specific on something but I do want a project where every time I challenge people to learn about another cause. You can go for 6 months and create awareness about HIV throughout the continent or focus on adoption or another charitable cause. There\u2019s so much going on and if I didn\u2019t have so much responsibility sometimes I think that I would just leave everything, go somewhere and open an orphanage. Sometimes life puts you in a place, and for me it was modeling, that wasn\u2019t so much a choice, but how do you transform these lucky things that happen to you and still follow your drive? Sometimes you get a little bit drowned because it\u2019s a lot of work. You have to always ground yourself and say don\u2019t lose yourself, don\u2019t lose your soul, don\u2019t lose your goals, don\u2019t lose who you are.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_023.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1630\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_023.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_023-840x1070.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_023-804x1024.jpg 804w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S02_023-157x200.jpg 157w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\">Lace top AZZARO, Swimwear LAURA URBINATI, Anklets in metal and leather KTZ, Anklet in metal and rings on feet A.O.C.<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S01_393.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S01_393.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S01_393-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S01_393-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S01_393-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5929.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1781\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5929.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5929-840x1169.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5929-736x1024.jpg 736w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5929-144x200.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5903.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5903.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5903-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5903-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_57O5903-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\">Leather dress with crystal embroideries ZANA BAYNE, Anklets in metal and leather KTZ, Anklet in metal and rings on feet A.O.C.<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S05_986.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S05_986.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S05_986-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S05_986-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/09\/MR0965ET_S05_986-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\">Silk chiffon long skirt FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO, Anklets in metal and leather KTZ, Anklet in metal and rings on feet A.O.C.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Models.com&#8217;s ICONS Mariacarla In the middle of fashion week and fresh off of opening Givenchy\u2019s first showing in New York City, Mariacarla Boscono is as upbeat and captivating as she\u2019s ever been.
