How and when did you get started into modeling ?
I was scouted on the street by Chris Stenton from CSI Model Management and he’s now my manager and found me the agencies, I’m now with. He’s a cool guy and great in his work. I was scouted in July (last summer) by him, but I did my first job as a real model during the fall/winter fashion shows in Paris.
You’re probably still attending school. Do modeling and school interfere with each other ?
Well, I finished school, but when I still was in school, like during the fashion week in Paris, my school was ok with it as long as I did all my work and my exams. They found it great for me !!!
How would you describe yourself ?
Uhm, I like to read and to watch TV, but I’m a happy person! And I like to arrange stuff, so everything is perfect when I go.
What’s the most difficult thing for you in the modeling industry ? And what’s the craziest (or) strangest experience that you had during one of your jobs ?
It’s not always fun, if you go to a casting and you come in, give your book, they open it, look at the first picture and then they close it and say thank you – bye bye. And they don’t even let you walk. That feels not always nice, but at the same time you know where you are at. And that’s a nice thing. I haven’t had any weird experience yet.
