What’s the most fun part of being a model?
It’s so much fun to meet new and interesting people, and to travel to places I’ve never been to before. Every project brings together a group of creative minds from around the world, and that shared energy is something I really enjoy.
Before you started modelling, what did you think the fashion world would be like?
I always saw fashion as a very creative industry from a customer’s perspective, but now that I’m part of it, I see how much discipline and teamwork go into every detail. It’s not just glamour – it’s a lot of early mornings, travel, and focus. But I enjoy that mix of creativity and structure.

What are three things you never travel without?
My swimming trunks, an extra battery charger – because my phone always dies at the wrong moment – and a notebook to jot down ideas while I’m travelling.
What’s a place you never thought modelling would take you to?
Milan, for my first Prada job. It was surreal suddenly being part of something I had only seen in ads. That trip really changed my perspective and made it feel both real and personal. And now, I’ve moved here.

Of all the looks you’ve worn, which one made you feel the most confident?
Probably a tailored Louis Vuitton suit from the Spring-Summer 2026 Menswear show. The amount of detail on the blazer was truly artisanal, and I was so excited to be able to wear it on the runway.
After a long day on set, what’s your favourite way to unwind?
I like to listen to music and zone out for a while. It helps me reset my mind.

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
I try to read the “Financial Times” or do some Italian Duolingo to get my mind going before the day starts.
And the last thing before you go to bed?
I try to do nothing, just so I can review my day in my head and remember what I did, almost like testing my memory before I sleep. It’s a small ritual that helps me slow down and stay present.
