How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I am the girl of the next door. I am simple, kind and open-minded. I am a sunny and smiling girl, who take care of the others, without judging any situation or lifestyle that is different or opposite to mine. The right philosophy is “Live and let live”.
How long have you been a model?
Since 2010.
How did you get into modelling?
I started modeling in 2010 when an agency of Milan contacted me while I was walking in the city center. I began to work as hair model with brands such as L’Oréal and Schwarzkopf in Milan and around Italy, making photo shoots, photography sessions and runway shows. Then I continued this job with other different fashion agencies always based in Italy, working also for Playboy. Later I played the role of protagonist in an advertisement of a new place in Milan and this year I shot a commercial advertisement for a TV channel inside a TV program in the center of Italy.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first shooting was incredible! I shot with one of the best well-known photographers Luca De Nardo and it was great, amazing. He was kind and professional and I felt at home, that is important for a model. It was a success, as that photo session was required for a well-known magazine.
What does modelling mean to you?
I think that working as a model help you to accept yourself, included those aspects that you hate and you really can’t stand. It increases your self-esteem and lets you believe more in yourself. It is also a way and an opportunity to find out the determined and fighting side of your nature.
A model you particularly admire?
The Victoria’s Secret’s angel Sara Sampaio, for sure! She is lovely, wonderful, even without make-up. She could be the example of a girl of the next door.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I don’t have a particular place. I would like to shot all over the world for the most famous brands, but actually for worldwide magazines… Maybe like a cover girl!
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I am a simple girl, I usually wear a dress as it suits comfortable or leggings with a t-shirts or bodies. About shoes, I love heels, but in everyday life, I wear sneakers, even elegant models.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I would like to live in South America, in Latin American countries full of fabulous people with different lifestyle and state of minds who can always teach you something new.
What is happiness?
Happiness is to accept and love ourselves for what we are, even if it is even more difficult when we grow.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
On a Friday night, you can find me in a bar for an happy-hour with few friends, to have a break from the whole working week. It is not important the kind of place, rather the company.
What’s your next goal?
Actually, I am due to conclude lots of projects, but I can’t reveal any of them! Anyway generally speaking the future I hope certainly to work with big brands and companies all over the world and for this reason to travel even more. I would like to shot with the most famous photographers and run the catwalks of the most important and well-known worldwide stylists.
