Fun Facts About Iekeliene Stange
It’s time to play Learn More About
Iekeliene Stange.
Surely you know she’s a photographer, but did you know her images have made it into magazines?
“I take photographs backstage at the shows. I have had them published in Japanese
Harper’s Bazaar and a fashion magazine called
Muse. It makes hanging around waiting to go on the catwalk a lot more fun, and when you are at a show like Galliano, the models look amazing.”
And, of course, you know her love of vintage, but do you know her current style inspiration?
“I like to dress with humor. I don’t follow fashion trends, I make up my own. At the moment I’m rocking a baroque style, with belted jackets and lots of scarves, inspired by the costumes in the Martin Scorsese film
Gangs of New York.”
She just had an exhibit in London, which she sent Modelinia pictures from, but were you aware that she knitted for the event, too?
“I have always been quite crafty. Ever since I was a child I have made patchwork things and tutus, and most recently I spent two months attempting to knit a 3-D pony for an exhibition of my photographs at the Horse Hospital gallery in London, but in the end it proved too difficult and ended up just being a flat wall decoration.”
Right now she has blonde hair, but did you know that she was a redhead when she first started modeling?
“When I was first scouted I had red dreadlocks. I was going through quite a funky stage. Apparently the model agency thought the scout was crazy for bringing me to the office, but they took me on in the end.”
And her preferred method of travel?
“The only way to travel is by bicycle. I own five bikes. My problem is that I always buy vintage bikes that look pretty but are not so good for cycling around London in a rush.”
Last but not least, do you know what her dreams include for the future?
“I dream of living in a cottage and having a vegetable garden. I moved to London four years ago to study photography, but I couldn’t really afford the college fees, so I started modeling to build up some financial stability. One day I’d like to live a rural life and spend my time taking pictures.”
