I’m very happy and excited to share a bit of myself in this interview. My success story is to have created and manifested exactly what I always dreamed of until it became a reality, in my work, in my relationships, and in my friendships. I feel extremely grateful and lucky.
I Was born in a very small and green town called Conegliano Veneto in northern Italy, historical and beautiful city nestled in the hills, named the City of Prosecco becauseit’s where it’s produced.
I always dreamed of working as a model, I remember secretly watching on the tv super models and wanting to be like them. This was my secret dream since I was literally a child, but I always kept it to myself because I knew my parents didn’t believe in this kind of work, for them it was most important that I continue with my studies and I totally understand them, it was them way to protect me. Now they are happy and they support me. I have shown them that they can trust me and that I take my work very seriously. This job gives you so many opportunities and the one I love the most is meeting people with different cultures and different views than mine, changing mindsets is the only way to grow, for me people are the real wealth.
How did you get your start in modelling?
One day when I was 17 a photographer from Milano contacted me on Facebook, he thought that I have potential, he wanted to see me and propose me to a modeling agency. When I read the message my heart started beating so much, I knew that was the opportunity I could not loose so I did everything I could to convince my parents to bring me to Milan and meet him.
That appointment ended in good terms and with a heart full of happiness I signed with a good agency called Wave, and that same summer I began my adventure in the fashion world.
My last project was to move to New York, it was a very hard decision because for the last 4 years I have been living in Mexico, it’s a country that I love with all my heart, I feel it home and is where I met my future husband Diego. But coming to New York has always been my calling and biggest dream. I was 14 the first time I visited nyc with my family, I remember immediately falling in love with the city and its energy and I promised myself that one day I would come here to live. After a full 12 years the day has arrived.
Here are the best brands, the best clients and the best models so it was a big jump for my career and I’m working really hard to give my best.
Fashion icons in your opinion?
My fashion icon that I really admire is the Italian model Bianca Balti not only for her indescribable beauty but also for her genuineness and simplicity. I admire her so much because in last years she opened a lot about herself. She talked and shared her personal life and all the mistakes that turned out to be big life lessons.
Why is the choice of model agency so important?
Choosing the right agency is very important because it will depend on that the jobs you will have in the future, it will depend on that how far they will push you with clients, and it must be a serious agency, professional with the work and payments. Unfortunately many agencies don’t have access to the best clients so it will be impossible for the model to grow in her career. It’s essential to have a good agency with whom you understand each other; commutation is the basis.
Being a famous model what makes you special?
What makes me special is my personality, the empathy I have for people, clients usually remember me because I have good energy, I don't create problems, I'm professional and I'm easy to work with.
In every job I do I put my heart into it knowing that I’m working toward my dreams since I was a kid.
