How did you first get into modeling?
In 2015, I was scouted, on the street, by my mother agency.
If you weren’t a model, what would you be?
I don’t know, really. I live my life day by day.
As there are lots of misconceptions about modeling. I’d like to ask you what the best (and worst) part of your job really is.
As everything in this world, modeling has pros and cons. I can just say that I like what I do and hope to go on for as long as possible.
Do you have any ‘secret talents’?
Well, I hope so.
What’s your favorite song?
It depends on my mood.

New or recycled?
It depends, sometimes recycled is better than new.
Car or bike?
I still don’t have a driving license. For now, I can just ride bikes and I like it. When I go around Milan (especially, early in the morning), I can still hear the birds from the trees.
Are you into reading?
I’m studying literature at university. So, yes, of course!
What do you have for breakfast?
I just have two to three cups of coffee.
What’s your favourite pastime?
Singing, playing instruments, listening to music…music and more music!

If your life was a movie, who would play you?
I think I’d be the only one suitable for this task.
What’s in your suitcase?
Not many things, I love traveling light.
Do you have any style-related advice on how to stand out from the crowd?
Just be yourself, that’s what I do.
What’s your favourite garment?
My skin.
