How discovered:
I got scouted at a sports festival. I was just watching a BMX competition when my mother agent came up to me and offered me to try modeling. I didn’t sign with the agency for a while because I wasn’t sure if it is the right thing for me.

What was your first modeling job?
It was YSL runway show in Paris women’s fashion week, FW18.

Favorite designer/brand/product:
I like Louis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh, Fendi, Vetements and Dior Homme, as well as many others. It’s hard to pick one favorite.

What’s your beauty routine?
Haha, I wash my face with water and use moisturizer, that’s about it. I try to eat healthily and drink enough water to keep myself hydrated.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Going to Fuerteventura for Missoni was such an amazing experience. I went there with my bike and I was enjoying every minute of that trip!

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling? Or what do you want to do after modeling?
I’d probably be filming and working on different projects, I wish I could do that more.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Maison Margiela and Vetements.

I couldn’t live without a toothbrush and a beanie.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I’ve been enjoying a lot of psychedelic rock and punk recently. Some of my favourite bands are The Black Angels, Kikaguku Moyo, Thee Oh Sees and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. There are many others…

Favorite movie(s) or TV show(s):
Trailer Park Boys is a banger, never get bored of them.

How was your life different 12 months ago?
12 months ago I was doing pre-castings for fashion week. I could describe myself in 3 words back then: Lost, Excited and High.

What always makes you laugh?
Stupidity always makes me crack up.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Nothing to be honest.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
“Energy doesn’t lie” is my motto.
