Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I’ve always liked fashion but I never considered modeling at first, until I went to a clothing store in Strasbourg and one of the sales associates told me to try it. After that, I applied to TIAD, and ever since then I’ve been signed with Eva.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
It is hard to pick a favorite. I’ve had incredible shows and experiences at John Galliano‘s Maison Margiela and I feel like I am part of a family there. Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello has offered me so many cool experiences too, such as flying to Morocco, opening the shows and shooting my first big campaign with Gray Sorrenti.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
Cool Cat by Queen, it just reminds me of my childhood because my dad is a huge Queen fan and this happens to be one of my favorite songs from them.

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
When I have the time, I love to cook, I got really into it during Covid. I used to play a lot of tennis, but ever since I’ve been living in Paris it’s really hard to find easy to access courts.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to go to Asia and South America, and I hope that I’ll be able to do that in the next few years.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I make the world’s best scrambled eggs.

What change would you like to see in the world?
A change that I would like to see is that people need to live in moment again, and shouldn’t be that focused on their phones and social media, because it truly seems like everyone is just living in a parallel universe right now and I am not a fan of it.
