Mexican born Issa’s stratospheric modelling career began after being
scouted at 14 whilst working for her Japanese fathers Sushi restaurant.
An editorial exclusive with Steven Meisel shortly followed as did multiple
international Vogue cover shoots, campaigns and runway turns including
Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Celine, Prada, Balenciaga, Chanel, Bottega Veneta,
Fendi, Saint Laurent, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Versace, Loewe and Givenchy.
Issa’s portfolio reads visually like a who’s-who of fashion industry greats
and she continues to collaborate with the very best artists of today,
many of whom Issa counts as close friends.
Incredibly well read and accomplished, Issa speaks five languages: Spanish,
Japanese, English, French, and Portuguese and has a natural and deep
understanding of the arts and fashion.
