Here I was exposed to different cultures and personalities daily. I was able to develop my individualism and creativity. I think among my family and friends I&#8217;m known for being creative and thinking outside of the box. I was always the trendsetter when it came to my fashion sense and interests. Even though I&#8217;m not the typical model measurements and look, I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in modeling. I&#8217;d like to think the success I&#8217;ve had so far is due to my voice and passion for the art. <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 One thing I wish I knew more about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI wish I knew more about why we experience fear. As I learn more about how the pros and cons of fear play into the human experience, I think I&#8217;ll be able to cope with it better. Hopefully to better control how it dictates my emotions. I still fear what people think of me sometimes but as I understand the role fear has in my life and career I think I&#8217;ll be able to live even more authentically. I&#8217;ll be unstoppable!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 The best and worst aspects of your personality:<\/strong><br \/>\nI think I am an extremist. I either love something or hate it. This can be pretty beneficial because I&#8217;m always sure of how I feel which allows me to make decisions very efficiently. It helped me make the decision to move from California to New York to pursue an education at Parsons and a career in modeling. I&#8217;m not scared of trying new things because I already love the idea of it. Even if it doesn&#8217;t work out in the end, it was worth it to pursue something I felt strongly about. Similarly, I love my friends entirely and have their backs always. I&#8217;m all in!  However, the flip side is there are things that I miss out on because I&#8217;m quick to dismiss things I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll enjoy.

We cook together, watch movies, talk and gossip a lot, LOL!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How and when did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nModeling fascinated me since I was little. Me and my mom used to watch America&#8217;s Next Top Model. That&#8217;s how I learned to walk in heels at 8, and I was good at it. As I turned 15, my hometown hosted the fashion week. I was able to get in. My parents have been very supportive. When I first walked down the runway I felt this fire inside of me and realized that modeling is what I want to do. The agency that I&#8217;m in at the moment (love them) reached out to me via Instagram and offered to work together. I agreed without a second thought, and have never regretted it. After signing the contract I went abroad for the first time. Visiting South Korea was such a bright moment. It was love at first sight. I&#8217;m very grateful to my agency for letting me grow, modeling inspires me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Who is your favorite entertainer?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorites are Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts. Most often I watch old romantic films because such films have their own beauty and atmosphere.  I prefer music calm and dreamy, I like the performers Rhoda, M83, dllv. I like to close my eyes and dance to this music, this way I relax and recharge with positive energy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Yuuki<\/span><br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-65452 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Yuuki Tang\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-65538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang01-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang01-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang01-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-65538'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Yuuki Tang\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Yuuki Tang\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-65537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang02-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang02-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang02-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-65537'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Yuuki Tang\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Yuuki Tang\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-65536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang03-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang03-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2020\/09\/dd_yuukitang03-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-65536'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Yuuki Tang\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nYuuki Tang, 189 cm \/ 6&#8217;2.5&#8243;, German, born October 12th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nTigers Mgmt (Munich &#8211; mother agency)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What is something you wish you knew more about?<\/strong><br \/>\nI wished I had paid more attention in school when it comes to computers, using programs properly like InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Seeing productions behind the scenes gives me the desire to express myself and gain experiences using different mediums, where knowledge of different programs would be really helpful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Something you are self-conscious about:<\/strong><br \/>\nPerhaps it sounds weird under these circumstances and in this interview, but I was always struggling with my appearance. I never had the feeling that other people would consider me as handsome and I also had difficulties to fit in just because of my appearance. My two older brothers, who are also modeling, have a more classical handsome look and everyone who saw them recognized them as beautiful individuals. Also, I have many friends who fit more into the beauty standard than me and I therefore always felt a little bit ugly. But after going through puberty and growing out of the typical teenage and anxiety-ridden mindset, I feel a lot more secure about myself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Who is someone you admire and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nBesides my parents, I would say a lot of people in my environment, but there is one famous person who stuck in my head. I don&#8217;t know her in person or have known about her for a very long time, but Miriam Cahn, a Swiss painter, is someone who I deeply admire. She had an exhibition in Munich, which I visited and listened to facts about her life, her work, and a bit about herself with an audioguide. She is such a strong woman with strong opinions and I was just overwhelmed by her as a person through her pictures.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iva Who: Iva Kuljaca, 184 cm \/ 6&#8217;0.5&#8243;, Serbian, born April 26th.
