Daria

Who:

Daria Polunina, 178 cm / 5’10”, Ukrainian, born June 22nd.

We Asked:

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you?

When I was a child, I wanted to become a pathologist. I found dead mice in the forest and dissected them. One day my mom said: “no more dead mice in the house”. So my career ended before it began.

— Who is your favorite entertainer?

I love Meryl Streep. I like to watch her act, she changes like a chameleon. She surprises me with every role.

— How and when did you become a model?

A year ago I was approved for the main role in a historical film. Ukrainian Vogue published an interview with me along with pictures taken by talented photographer Łukasz Pukowiec. My current agent saw the pictures and told me I should try modeling. “So, let’s give it a try,” I said.

Ibrahima

Who:

Ibrahima Alessio, 184 cm / 6’0.5″, Senegalese, born February 8th.

We Asked:

— Among your friends or family, what are you famous for?

Well, when I speak Senegalese my friends and family always laugh so hard. I’m still not so sure why but the most important thing is to make other people smile, right? That’s what I’m very famous for.

— Who is your favorite entertainer?

There are many artists I like and admire, but one of my favorites at the moment is Roddy Ricch. I’m obsessed with his songs; I like the lyrics, his mood and the way he dresses. He’s kind of an inspo and “Down Below” is playing on repeat in my mind.  I also like a lot Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, they are also very stylish and amazing performers.

— Who is someone you admire and why?

The person I admire the most in the whole world is definitely my mom Fatima. She’s courageous, never giving up and she’s always by my side in every aspect of my life. Last but not least she cooks the best Senegalese rice on earth, LOL!
