What’s the most enjoyable part of being a model?
Definitely getting to travel and see so many different places. One week you’re in a city you’ve only seen in movies, the next you’re somewhere totally new, trying to figure out how to order a cup of tea in another language. It keeps life exciting!
Before you started modelling, what did you think the fashion world would be like?
Honestly? I had zero expectations. When I first started, I just went with the flow and learned as I went. I was like: ‘Okay, let’s see what this whole thing is about’, and it’s been a wild ride ever since.

What are three things you never travel without?
My phone, my passport – because I take a lot of planes – and my silver necklace. It’s really special to me and feels like I have a little piece of home with me wherever I go.
What’s a place you never thought modelling would take you to?
For me, it’s more an emotional place than a physical one. It’s being in a position where I can make my parents and the people I love proud. I didn’t expect modelling to give me that kind of fulfillment, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for.

Of all the looks you’ve worn, which one made you feel the most confident?
Oh, that’s easy! The outfit I wore for the Tom Ford SS26 show. I remember wearing it and thinking: ‘Yup, this is the moment.’ I felt sexy, powerful, and totally in my element.
After a long day on set, what’s your favourite way to unwind?
I’m such a sucker for showers. Give me a long, warm shower and I’m in heaven. If I could, I would literally stay in there for hours, just standing under the water and zoning out. Pure peace.

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Hit snooze for just five more minutes. Every. Single. Time. (Laughs, E.D.)
And the last thing you do before you go to bed?
Wash my face and brush my teeth, the classics. Gotta end the day feeling fresh.
