How do you say hello where you’re from? “Hallo.”
How were you discovered? I was shopping in Holland, and there was a model contest in a mall. Model agent Jeroen van de Mast asked me to do the contest, and I finished as the first runner-up. That’s how it all started.
What are you wearing? A Givenchy blouse and blazer, Prada pants, and shoes by Maison Martin Margiela.
Most memorable modeling moment: A shoot with Patrick Demarchelier in Paris. There were a lot of animals like cows, chickens, and pigs on set, which was very funny.
Favorite model: It has always been Doutzen Kroes . . . since I was young. She is still so beautiful.
Most embarrassing modeling moment: After the Prada show last season, I fell backstage because the shoes were so high—but they were beautiful.
Favorite color: Blue, but I almost always wear black.
Favorite food: A great salad.
Exercise: A lot of cardio.
Do you have any hobbies? When I lived in Holland, I always played volleyball and really liked it.
Name something you are looking forward to in the next 24 hours: A really good massage.
Favorite destination you have been to: Phuket, Thailand. It was amazing.
What item are you coveting right now? The iPad 2. I don’t have one, and I really want it. Being able to watch a movie would make waiting backstage so easy.
