How discovered:
I was in a cafe studying for final exams with some friends and this lady walked up to me and asked if I wanted to be a model. I thought it was a joke so I didn’t give it any thought until I got scouted again about two years later.

Recently it’s been a lot of Cold War Kids, Otis Redding, Royksöpp, and Lil Wayne.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
No answer :)

Favorite modeling experience so far?
It’s hard to pick my favorite experience. But I had a really crazy shoot last week in Beijing. It was for Arena Homme and it involved an abandoned gun factory and a girl in a giant panda suit. We were laughing so hard it took at least two hours to get the shot.
