Vogue.it - Focus on Models
Name:
Taja Feistner
Born/Live in
I was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but now I live in New York City.
How did you start modeling?
I was working in an "Italian" restaurant in a small town after dropping out of college. A scout from a neighboring city came in while I was waitressing and told me I should be a model and how she could help. I thought she was crazy but here I am.
What is fashion for you?
For me, fashion is a form of communicating with people. It's like a language you can use to say whatever you want to say - about yourself and who you are or about anything really.
Who is your favourite designer?
To be honest, I don't have a favorite designer. I'm not educated enough to make that decision. I'm more of a scavenger and a recycler. I like to thrift my clothes. It's more about the individual piece speaking to me no matter what label is on it.
Who is your favourite icon?
I don't have a favorite icon/top model either. I don't really follow pop culture in general.
Describe your style?
Defining my style isn't really possible. It's just whatever message I feel like putting out into the universe today. Sometimes I'm dark, sometimes colorful, sometimes boyish - it's always changing. My style is like a mood ring.
What is your biggest dream?
I just want to change the world. I can't think of a dream much bigger than that.
Any plan for the future?
I work on my art and spend time with the people I love.
What do you LOVE the most?
Just my boyfriend - can't think of anything else I'd really need.
