— How did you become a model?
I started modeling freelance in my hometown, just experimenting and having fun in front of the camera. Later, I signed with my mother agency, which helped me take my work international. It’s been an exciting journey of learning, growth, and amazing experiences.

— Tell us about your hometown.
I’m from Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. It’s a beautiful city with a lot of character, full of history, amazing food, and friendly people. I love the energy and the mix of old and new architecture. The hardest part can be the traffic and the busy streets, but overall, it’s a city I really love and feel proud to call home.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
My family always likes to tell the story of how I used to dance around the house as a little kid, pretending every room was a runway. They say I was already confident and full of energy back then, and it’s funny because that same energy and love for performing is what led me to modeling today.

— What is your biggest irrational fear?
It was butterflies for the longest time; something about their silent flapping and erratic movement just went through me. I definitely picked it up from my mum; she’s still super afraid of them, but I’ve grown to love them, along with most insects. I’d have to think about my current irrational fears. I try not to fret about things that can’t really hurt me.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
One of my favourite shows of all time is Barry, I don’t think there are many shows that blend such intense and gripping action, gut-wrenching storylines with such a unique style of comedy. In addition to writing and creating the show, Bill Hader also plays the titular character, which also happens to be the name of the town where I grew up, just outside of Cardiff.

— If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?
How stereotypical would it be for the non-binary model who wears Rick Owens to choose a 2hollis song, bahahaha. I don’t know, Jeans? I wear jeans pretty exclusively, and I really love their sound, super ethereal but massively heavy. I really admire them and all that they do.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
I’m a teacher! I teach kids from 3 to 11 basically everything (maths, French, sports, etc). This year I have 3-year-old students, which is really a humbling experience, hahahaha. They are so sweet and funny!

— Share a bit about your background and upbringing.
My dad is half Swiss, half Armenian, and my mom is from Mayotte, a tiny island near Madagascar. My brothers and I all have a unibrow that we got from our father. It’s the Armenian imprint, haha. I used to hate it, and now I’m the only one who truly embraces it.

— How did you become a model?
I was scouted during lockdown on Twitter! People never believe it… I was 16 and still in high school. My agent and I pretty much started together, and it’s been 4 years now. I love working with her!!

— How did you become a model?
So in 2024, when I was living in Bali, like your average teenager, I was posting fit check videos on TikTok. That was where my agency found me. They then checked out my Instagram and reached out to me in my DM’s. I was skeptical at first, but as soon as we talked, we kicked it off! Fast forward a couple of months, and I decided to take a leap of faith and move to Jakarta and start my modeling career!

— What are 3 interesting facts about you?
1. I get emotionally attached to fictional characters.
2. I’m able to stay calm in stressful situations, but very panicked over small things.
3. When I like one meal, I can eat it for weeks without being bored.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
One thing that surprises people is that I’m a big geek when it comes to anime (Japanese cartoon). I’ve watched a lot since I was little, and every time anyone finds out about this, they never expect it from me, saying that I seem very ‘girly’ to be interested in such nerdy stuff, haha.

— Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?
My happiest childhood memory was when we went to New York for the first time with my family. I was really young, like 7 or 8, and it was my first time out of France. I remember it like a dream; it was a really special city that I had always wanted to visit. The thing I remember the most about this trip was when I fell asleep in a plate of pasta because of the jet lag. Since then, I have always wanted to go back.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
One thing that people might be surprised to find out about me is that I am a really creative person. I love creating new songs on guitar or taking pictures. I think that at first glance I don’t look that creative, but I really cannot imagine living without being able to express myself in any artistic way.

— If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?
If I had to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of my life, I think I would say “This Feeling” by Alabama Shakes. It is a very calm song that talks about finding your place and just feeling good about where you are right now in your life. I think this is exactly the way I am currently feeling, being happy about finding my place

— How did you become a model?
I was told to go to an open casting by my coworker numerous times. I was hesitant at first, but she kept bugging me about it, so I thought ‘let me just go and see.’ And when I did, I was expecting a polite no, but I ended up being signed.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
My all-time favorite show is One Piece. It’s a very long show, but once you watch it, you’d honestly think that it’s too short. Why I love it is because it has everything that you would want in a show: fight scenes, comedy, drama, and character development.

— The most interesting thing about your family:
The most interesting fact about my family is that we’ve lived in three countries.
