Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
No, it wasn’t something I was aiming for at first. But one day I was walking around Paris and someone came up to me to ask if I was a model. After that, he took my contact info and a couple of photos, that’s how it all started.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
I would say my best experience was walking my first runway show with Dior. It was an incredible opportunity that opened many doors for me, including the chance to walk for Versace, a brand I love!

One song you have on repeat, and why?
I’d say it’s Naha by PNL (French artists). It’s my favorite track from my favorite rap group. And I haven’t discovered a song I liked that much since 2016.

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I’ve loved sports since I was a kid, especially football. I’ve always had a particular passion for FC Barcelona. I started getting into football thanks to Messi, and that passion has never faded since.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always dreamed of traveling around the world and discovering différent cultures. For example, I’d love to visit Japan because of my interest in manga, and Latin America for its incredible passion for football.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I played handball at the national level a few years ago!

What change would you like to see in the world?
It might sound like a broad answer, but I truly wish for current wars to end and for international conflicts to no longer dominate our daily news, which are just so many. I hope to see more peace in our societies and in the world we live in today.
