Hi Ingrid, let’s start with a bang! Can you walk us through the experience of walking for JW Anderson at London Fashion Week SS25? What was that moment like for you?
It was so amazing and a great honour. The people and the music were such a vibe. I loved it! I didn’t know I was going to walk the show until the day before when my British agent called me to confirm.

Continuing on this topic, how has being a part of that show shaped your modelling career so far?
The show was my international debut, and it gave me a lot of exposure and experience.
Speaking of a rising career, what’s the most tmodellingpart of your job?
The most thrilling part is never knowing what’s going to happen next, not knowing where it’ll take you…
Has there ever been a moment where you’ve questioned your decision to pursue modelling?
Yes, every time I get an option for a job, but then the job isn’t confirmed or gets cancelled. That feeling of first getting your hopes up and then being turned down is hard to process, it makes you question whether to continue modelling or not.

Can you tell us about the person who’s been the most supportive of your modelling journey?
My mum! She’s my biggest fan, she follows everything I do and reposts all my pictures. It’s so sweet and supportive!

Do you have a pre-shooting routine that helps you tackle a full day in front of the camera?
Before I get out of the door, I have a really nice cup of coffee, and then on my way to set, I listen to party music on my AirPods to boost my energy.
Do you think your personality has evolved as a result of your career as a model?
Definitely! Meeting new people all the time broadens your horizons and makes you grow as a person.

Working with sustainable fashion and designing for the future.
Let’s take a breakMeiselthe runways. What do you do to relax?
When I’m alone, I go for walks by the ocean and listen to music. If I’m with my twin sister, we just talk on end.
Lastly, If you could have three career wishes come true, what would they be?
Well, to walk for Louis Vuitton, to travel to Tokyo for work and shoot with Steven Meisel.
