While I had researched becoming a model with the agency I ultimately signed with, I didn&#8217;t apply. But, as luck would have it, while I was on campus with one of my coursemates during our &#8220;freshers&#8221; week \u2013 my agent walked up and scouted me! From there, I attended a workshop at the agency. The people I met and the environment at the agency made me want to pursue a career in modeling!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Not too long ago, I was a competitive swimmer. Through both Swim England and my swimming academy, I had the opportunity to travel to numerous countries for major swimming events. During my time as a swimmer, I garnered accolades, including a gold medal at nationals.<br \/>\n2. I am a self-taught pianist! I have always been musically inclined and drawn to playing an instrument. While I had free time at home, I would perfect my craft. My two favorite songs to play are Fur Elise (Beethoven) and Another Love (Tom Odell).<br \/>\n3. Finally, I love traveling and exploring, so during the rare free weekend at university, I will book a spontaneous trip. A great example of this is when I decided to climb up Snowdon in Wales in the middle of term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy happiest childhood memory is creating an entirely new lifeform with my brother. My brother and I always loved to explore and make new inventions together. One day, we used this toy cauldron and mixed every ingredient in the house that we could find. A few days went by, we came back to find some weird, backwards swimming tadpoles swimming around in the cauldron. We had no idea what they were, so we named them &#8216;Elidyls.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .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-2' class='gallery galleryid-74327 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Evelien Bethlehem\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-74335\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-74335'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Evelien Bethlehem\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Evelien Bethlehem\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-74334\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-74334'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Evelien Bethlehem\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Evelien Bethlehem\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_evelienbethlehem05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-74333\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-74333'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Evelien Bethlehem\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Evelien<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nEvelien Bethlehem \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/evelienn.b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@evelienn.b<\/a> \u2014 Dutch from Ede, Gelderland, Netherlands \u2014 born March 25th \u2014 180 cm \/ 5&#8217;11&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nTrust Mgmt (The Netherlands &#8211; mother agency), <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Next-Paris\">Next Paris<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What is your biggest irrational fear?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy biggest irrational fear is being dropped in the middle of the ocean.

When I&#8217;m not watching anime, I&#8217;m listening to Lana Del Rey\u2013 her songs resonate with me on a different level. Korean dramas are another favorite of mine, with complex stories and characters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Can you tell us about your happiest childhood memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nMan, I was such a wild kid! Never stayed indoors, always out exploring. I&#8217;d spend hours by the pond, swimming and playing with my cows and buffaloes, or climbing trees to grab mangoes, jamuns, and tamarinds\u2014our village was like a paradise! But getting home late always meant trouble\u2014my mom would scold me. Guess I was a bit of a handful back then!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo be honest, I never thought I&#8217;d be a model. As a kid, I was super short and didn&#8217;t exactly fit the typical mold. I was more about cricket than catwalks! But life had other plans. After the pandemic, I hit a growth spurt and changed physically. Social media played a big role; I&#8217;d watch modeling reels and think, &#8220;Why not me?&#8221; It sparked something in me, and I decided to take the leap. Now, here I am, chasing my newfound passion for modeling. It&#8217;s crazy how life can shift your path.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\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: 33%;\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-74327 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Rimjhim Pal\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-74347\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-74347'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Rimjhim Pal\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Rimjhim Pal\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-74346\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-74346'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Rimjhim Pal\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Rimjhim Pal\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/06\/mdcselects_rimjhimpal03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-74345\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-74345'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Rimjhim Pal\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Rimjhim<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nRimjhim Pal \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/rimjhimpal_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@rimjhimpal_<\/a> \u2014 Indian from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India \u2014 born September 7th \u2014 180 cm \/ 5&#8217;11&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/inega-model-management\">Inega (Mumbai &#8211; mother agency)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:<\/strong><br \/>\nOne issue I genuinely care about is gender equality. Growing up, I&#8217;ve seen how women often have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition or freedom. My mother has always been a big inspiration, managing everything so strongly and still giving me the space to grow, learn, and be independent. I believe everyone, regardless of gender, should have equal chances to follow their dreams, speak up, and feel valued. Even today, I notice subtle ways in which women are expected to adjust more or stay quiet, and I think those patterns need to change. As a creative person and a design student, I hope to bring more awareness to this through my work by representing strong, free voices and making meaningful choices in what I create. Change doesn&#8217;t always have to be loud; sometimes, it starts with what we choose to stand for in our everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople often assume I&#8217;m super girly, shy, and calm when they first see me\u2014like this quiet, soft-energy kind of person. I still remember my roommate telling me that when she saw me for the first time, she thought I&#8217;d be all reserved and delicate. But then the real me showed up. I&#8217;m actually a total goofball. I&#8217;m loud, funny, and honestly, a whole entertainer. I scream songs at the top of my lungs, do random weird dances in the room, and act like a full-on drama queen just for fun. Once people get to know me, they&#8217;re like, Wait, THIS is who you really are?!&#8221; Yup. Dumb, funny, and proud. <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Tell us about your hometown.<\/strong><br \/>\nMy hometown is Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, India. The best part about it? It holds my childhood. Every summer vacation, we&#8217;d visit my grandparents&#8217; house, and it used to be filled with warmth, laughter, and the chaos of family, my maasis, siblings, friends, everyone together under one roof. We used to play endlessly, make memories, and live those carefree days that now feel like magic. As for the worst part, honestly, there&#8217;s nothing bad about the place itself. It&#8217;s just the bittersweet feeling of having to leave it behind every time the vacation ended. Saying goodbye after all that love and comfort was the hardest part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dylan Who: Dylan Reeve \u2014 @dylans_1005 \u2014 British from Essex, UK \u2014 born November 19th \u2014 188 cm \/ 6&#8217;2&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.
