Every model has a story to tell when it comes to getting scouted. What was yours?
I was on my way to school at 8am and was casually tapped on the shoulder whilst trying to catch the bus. I responded with a “Yes, sir can I help you?” and he proceeded to introduce himself as a scout from New Models in Brussels.
How did you react?
I was confused as it was obviously unexpected. I sent some pictures and went to the agency in Brussels, but they actually said no! I was fine with that, but soon after I changed my Facebook profile picture to when I was slightly drunk at a friend’s birthday party with an éclair in my mouth. My booker said he was interested and, there you go, I was signed with New Models.
What were some of your first jobs?
It was for the Ones 2 Watch, where I had a mullet and hotdog in mouth. I also had my first fitting for Raf Simons - I met Raf Simons in person for the fitting, but I had no clue who he was initially as he is rarely photographed at all. I was greeted by a Chinese man whom I thought was Raf himself [laughs], then I met the real Raf sitting on a sofa with an iPod and a cigarette. He replayed the track of his next show to sort of get the vibe from the models. The clothing were too small for me, I actually looked like a Dolce and Gabbana model beside the fitting model!
