Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
Not at all. I was discovered by my agent on Instagram right after lockdown when I was 17. A few months later, I moved to Paris, and it was the best idea ever.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
I think it was with Bottega Veneta. For me, that’s when it all started, and I was proud to be there for Matthieu’s debut.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
I like to listen to “Anemone” by the Brian Jonestown Massacre

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
Besides modeling, I’m truly passionate about the world of interior design and the beauty of modern architecture. These interests allow me to explore my creativity in different ways.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
One thing I’ve always wanted to try is to master the art of sushi-making, much like a skilled Japanese chef. My dream is to learn the authentic techniques that create the superb sushi served in the best Japanese restaurants.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
People might be surprised to find out that I have a pretty good memory. It’s almost like I have this internal tape recorder – I can remember conversations from years ago as if they were yesterday!

What change would you like to see in the world?
If I could change one thing in the world, it would be for every argument to be settled with a dance battle. Just imagine global leaders breaking out their best moves to solve disputes – haha! But jokes aside, I truly wish for more understanding and tolerance in the world.
