()<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Height:<\/strong><br \/>\n178 cm (5&#8217;10&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alexbinaris\">@alexbinaris<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Place of Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\nJohannesburg, South Africa <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethnic Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe best way to describe myself is that I\u2019m a walking liquorice all sort because I really have a bit of everything: Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birthsign:<\/strong><br \/>\nScorpio &#8211; but don\u2019t run just yet, promise I\u2019m nice haha! <\/p>\n<p><strong>How discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nI have been scouted several times but decided to pursue my dreams of studying. After I graduated I just had an extremely strong gut feeling to knock (quite literally) on my mother agency\u2019s (at the time) door. Boy, was I right, as within 24 hours a scout working with Elite Worldwide scouted me and within the next month I was jet-setting off to Paris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first modeling job?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy exclusive for Louis Vuitton SS17. It was honestly the most exciting experience. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m really free-spirited so I would have to say any sort of adventure!  I have such travel lust and a yearning to understand, experience and emerge with different people\u2019s cultures and histories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nReally into guitar greats like Santana and Guns N Roses at the moment!  Of course, God&#8217;s Plan by Drake is top of the list too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t really watch TV &#8211; I prefer reading. But I really love Game of Thrones and it\u2019s about the only series I\u2019m watching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nI really love Guilty by Gucci and my beauty secret is really just to wear less makeup and use more natural oils and products to keep my skin radiant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were you doing before modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nI was studying a triple major at the University of Cape Town, which is why I didn\u2019t model any sooner. I\u2019ve always placed a huge emphasis on my education. I was a bit of a nerd though and actually graduated on the Dean\u2019s List with distinction. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nPerhaps use my degree, but also I believe that the world is my oyster and I will just have to see the opportunities this exciting journey presents me with and take it from there! <\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy friends coined the weird things I do that make me unique as  \u201cAlexisms\u201d and well they can sometimes be very uncool and totally involuntary. Like some of my dance moves ahaha. But at least I truly dance like nobody is watching! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nI love every Chanel show I walk. The team behind them is so amazing and close-knit which I love and then, of course, the actual shows blow my mind every time. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nI love nature and Cape Town\u2019s scenery and hikes are like none other. Also, I love my country\u2019s people and energy they bring &#8211; it\u2019s so diverse, vibrant and colorful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nSouth America is at the top of my list. It\u2019s honestly calling me, I would love to experience it\u2019s beautiful untouched landscapes and I find the cultures so fascinating! <\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\nJust be you and the right people will love you for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex, from Johannesburg, loves reading books, God&#8217;s Plan by Drake, and Carlos Santana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":59976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,10],"tags":[4629,250,4574,4212,4293,2487,563],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59964"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59964"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59977,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59964\/revisions\/59977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
