Chihuahua or pitbull?
I’d say pitbull.
What’s a scent that reminds you of home?
I really like palo santo. I’m not sure if it reminds me of home, but it’s one of my favourite scents. It has a kind of forest smell, like smoky wood. I really like it!

Lying on a beach or hiking up a mountain?
I prefer hiking, I find it nicer; there’s a lot happening along the way, and it just feels good.
What’s a garment or accessory you couldn’t live without, and why?
I’d say a headband. I like using it to tie my hair because sometimes, well, most of the time, my hair isn’t styled. So, I like to use it as a hair cover. I think it looks cool!

What does your ideal Sunday look like?
Actually, not sleeping in. I’d rather be getting up early, going out for breakfast, maybe relaxing if there’s time, running a few small errands, buying some vinyl records, then grabbing something to eat outside and continuing to walk around.
Can you tell us a secret only a model would know?
I don’t know all the secrets, unfortunately. I don’t even really know any. I’m not sure there are any, it’s kind of complicated. There’s a lot of preparation and in the end I think a lot of people could be models. It’s about preparation, but also about being comfortable with your body. Kind
of not overthinking it, disconnecting a bit, letting things happen – even wearing outfits you don’t really like sometimes. It’s about having some distance from yourself, that might be kind of a secret.

What’s a red flag in a partner for you?
Asking for a bit too much availability, or not understanding when you’re not available and wanting way too much of your time. Yeah, availability!
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
That’s a hard question, I don’t know how to answer that. I listen to a lot of music, but I get bored very quickly, so I need to switch things up.
