Ronald Epps — 7 Girls, 7 Boys, 7 Days — Wilhelmina Spring 2014
By Damien Neva / Wihelmina

NEW YORK — "The one thing I will do if my phone is on one percent and is about to die," ponders Ronald Epps, absorbed in thought during a frenetic day of castings. "I guess would be to check my Instagram." With some 500 posts on his Instagram and more than three times as many followers, it could be argued that such an act would be an altruistic gesture for a spellbound audience rather than the sort of shameless narcissism that grips Ronald's peers in the age of social media. One look at the soft-spoken Ronald, however and it is difficult to begrudge the handsome model with an iPhone running out of juice — post another picture, please! Ronald speaks with Damien Neva, Director of Social Media at Wilhelmina on the eve of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Follow Ronald at http://instagram.com/ronald_epps.

This is the fifth part in a series that will run for seven days that features seven models each from the women's and men's image divisions at Wilhelmina who will be participating in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2014.

Every model in this series has been asked the same seven questions:

1) Where is home?

2) Why do you model?

3) Your smartphone battery is at one percent — what is the one thing you would do with it?

4) If you could add a word to the dictionary, then what would it be?

5) Spring / Summer or Fall / Winter?

6) Why is WILHELMINA written backwards on the T-shirt?

7) Where should you be followed?
