What’s one aspect of a model’s life that people rarely notice or talk about?
Probably when we leave our country at a young age, without much knowledge and completely by ourselves. People see the debut, but not all the story behind it.
When you’re on set, what’s the one thing that genuinely makes you feel confident?
For me, it’s when the team compliments my work, it makes me feel like I can do anything.

And on the flip side, what’s something you absolutely can’t stand when you’re on set?
When the brand treats you like a product instead of a human being with feelings.
If you could wear only one look for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Jeans and a tank top, because they never go wrong.

You made your debut for Chanel at Matthieu Blazy’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show, and you were invited back for the FW26 show. If someone had told you a couple of years ago that this would happen, how do you think you would have reacted?
I probably wouldn’t have believed it. Even now, it still feels a bit unreal, like something out of a dream. Being part of it and seeing that all the magic you admire in the collections is actually real, happening right in front of you, is something truly special.
How has your relationship with your own image changed since your modelling career began?
When you first start modelling and going to castings, you put a lot of pressure on yourself, which isn’t always healthy. But over time, that process helps you build a stronger sense of identity and understand what makes you unique.

What’s a milestone you’ve achieved so far that still makes you genuinely proud?
Definitely my first contract, even though it wasn’t all perfect, it’s where everything started and what brought me to where and who I am today.
And what’s a milestone you hope to reach in the future?
To be a reference for someone else.

When you finally get a day to yourself, how do you like to spend it?
I really like to rest and be by myself, because I feel at ease and is good for connecting with yourself.
What’s a song you just can’t stop listening to lately?
‘Body to Body’ by BTS is on repeat in my playlist.
