\/>\nIvorian<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birthsign:<\/strong><br \/>\nLibra<\/p>\n<p><strong>How discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Instagram by a model scout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first modeling job?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was a show for Zegna, in Fall\/Winter 19. It was an amazing experience for me. I was so stressed; like I didn\u2019t know what I had to do, how should I walk, haha&#8230; but the team was so friendly and I\u2019m sure this show will stay in my mind forever. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI love listening to music; I\u2019m a music addict, reading too, and taking pictures of everything, haha. I think my favorite thing is my phone because I can do all of these things with my phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rapper Skepta, my favorite song by him is BET. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nI think I love all the Marvels but my favorite one is Civil War.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite designer is Olivier Rousteing. I can\u2019t explain but he has a very beautiful personality, so humble and friendly.<br \/>\nMy favorite fragrance is Black Opium by YSL.<br \/>\nBeauty product: natural butter, cocoa butter, but usually I don\u2019t use anything, just bathe, haha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were you doing before modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore modeling, I was a student in law. I\u2019m at my 5th year into studying Law, Business and Management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nI will go back to become a lawyer, open my own company and help those who need me. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis question, haha! For my height, I have little fingers, little ears and little feet. Everyone finds it strange but I love them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy best experience was my show for Dior. I met many celebrities and the show was magical, everything seemed unreal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nI love the meals of my country, and the atmosphere there. For me, I think it&#8217;s something unique in this world, nowhere else I could feel these things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs a brand it\u2019s CHANEL ???? &#8212; I want to do everything: show, lookbook, campaign. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nJamaica is the place I would love to visit <\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI am someone who is full of imagination&#8230; I think about writing a book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy father always tells me that we harvest what we sow. When you do good around you, in your personal life as well as professional, it is only good that will happen to you too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cherif, 23, from Abidjan, is interested in reading, Skepta, and Chanel.
