dna models
^ Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure she's 17 now. And she skipped last season because of school - that's why I'm hoping she is in her final year now and can work fulltime soon.
How and when did you start modeling?
- I got scouted on the internet, 3 years ago. It was on like a dutch kind of facebook. I just had pictures on my profile, when my motheragent asked me to be a model. Then she started testing me, and after about half a year I joined Viva Paris, London and Barcelona.
How would you describe yourself ?
- I would describe myself as a person with a lot of discipline. I always want to achieve the goals, I set up for myself. For example, I really want to have A’s at my school. If not, I get really stressed out. I want to be good at everything I am doing, and I don’t know if that is a positive characteristic to have. But it certainly helps you to achieve the things you want. Because if you really want something, you will be able to do it. I also think I am rather independant, I am able to do a lot of things by myself ( for example travelling, which is essential when you are a model ). I also don’t mind to be by myself, when I have my ipod everything is ok. Haha
What are in your opinion the best things in the modeling world ?
-The best thing is, obviously, the travelling. You get to see so many beautiful places in the world. If I wasn’t a model, I wouldn’t have this great opportunity. It widens your boundaries and your world. I also love the fact that, at photoshoots, you are working with great people together in creating an image. You have to feel the concept as a model. And when you have a great picture after a long day of work, you also have a great feeling of satisfaction.
4)Please tell us what the last job has left you have the greatest impression?
- The last job I’ve had which was amazing, was the French Elle shoot I did last summer. I haven’t worked a lot this year because it is my final year. (My final exams are in a week ( really nervous haha ), so then I am going to be a fulltime model.) So that shoot was rather a long time ago, but i still have special feelings when I think back to it. It was a two-day-shoot, with great people and a great atmosphere. And on top of that, I think the result is great.
5) You did many fashion shows. Are you still nervous before the show starts ? And how do you feel when you walk on the runway ?
- I have not done show this season, mainly because of my school. I walked Marc Jacobs fall/winter 2010 in New York. That was absolutely amazing to do. And I closed the topshop Unique show in London, also fall/winter 2010. I am not really nervous, but you just have a lot of adrenaline in your body. And it is so awesome to have hundreds of people looking at you. And then the all the flashing camera’s at the end of the runway, really makes you feel like a superstar haha. The energy you have when you are doing a show, is really indiscribable.
Are there any models that inspire you ?
- Well, I don’t have models that like inspire me in the way of life. But I do have models, which I look up to. Because they are so beautiful and they have an amazing carreer. Girls like Constance Jablonski, Emily DiDonato, Maryna Linchuk and many other models.
What are your favorite sports, how much do you exercise and how do you manage your diet to stay in shape?
- I love to walk, and it maybe sounds really stupid but it helps me a lot. It helps me relax and also makes me stay in shape. I live here on the countryside, and i love to just walk between the fields and listen to music. I eat very healthy ( organic ) and it is important to just skip the bad things ( like patato, sugar ( except fruits )). And a secret to stay skinny is, to just don’t eat a lot.(what a surprise haha) Little portions, I mean. As I mentioned before, I have a lot of discipline. Also when it comes to following my diet, haha.
Tell us a little more about your hobbies. What are you doing when you’re not working?
-At the moment my hobby is definately studying. I love to just listen to music and do math or anything like that. I have a lot of interesting subjects at my school and that keeps me busy besides modelling. I think that sciene and physics are fascinating subjects. The earth is so complex and that makes it exciting to learn about it. I also love to learn languages, my wish is to be able to speak french fluently. I have it for 6 years already, so by now I know the vocabulary and grammar but I would love to be able to just speak it like a native speaker.
Do you have any beauty secrets hat you would like to share with us ?
- Very cliché but drink lots of water ( or tea ). Besides that you have to make sure you have good a creme ( on water base ) and good shampoo and conditioner. Not with a lot of chemical ****, but just with a lot of nature products. Maybe it is just a mental thing, but i believe it is better
What are your goals in modeling?
- As a model, you can’t really have goals. You cannot set a goal for yourself, like : I want to do the chanel show. If it happens it is great, but it is important to stay realistic. Don’t raise to much hopes ( of like becoming the new supermodel). Just stay down to earth and go with the flow. What happens, happens and then enjoy it. But protect yourself from hoping and then being dissappointed if you don’t achieve your goal. So that you don’t have the feeling you failed. This is what I learnt out of experience.
What’s your favorite music ?
- My favorite music, mmm I like almost everything! From like the Black Eyed Peas to Adele. Actually I guess what’s on the charts, just the popular music. I am not really into punk or rock to be honest.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
- In ten years I am 27. I hope by then I have a partner who I will be with the rest of my life. I would like to have finished my university by then. Maybe attempting to become a mother. But especially to be happy and healthy. Those two things are the most important aspects of life.
What do you think of All About Models?
- I think it’s great that model are in the centre of attention. Sometimes people think we are ”just models” but we are people as well. We work hard for what we achieve and that should be praised once in a while. All About Models does an awesome job by making models more respected. People could learn from that.
