How would you describe yourself in a few words?
“I am nobody”, after all. I’m a “cat lady”, animalist, bohemian artist, lover, athlete, fall in love with life. I’m free as a wind and the only owner of my body.
How long have you been a model?
I started this beautiful job in February 2017. Now is one year… I’m really excited about the results achieved.
How did you get into modelling?
I did get into modelling with a help from my friends. The great model Alice Sergeant Ice and the photographer Lorenzo Lorini. They taught me, encouraged and believed in me immediately.
Last, but not least, my boyfriend, the photographer Max Menghini. He has always believed in me, encouraged me to always give my best and never discouraged myself.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first real shooting was a great experience. I was so excited and maybe too much nervous. The shooting was for the post of an event.
What does modelling mean to you?
Modeling means, for me, to be free to be myself. This job allows me to travel around Italy….. and maybe, in future, travel around the world and meet great artists!
Does modeling makes me an artwork, and I want my life to be an artwork.
A model you particularly admire?
The model I really love and are Kate Moss and Coco Rocha.
I also admire Alice Sergeant Ice, Kitrisha, Natasha Legeyda and Riae.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I’d like to shoot in Australia, I love it, is one of my dreams!
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Every day I wear long and tiny dresses, sometimes a little Boehm sometimes a little gothic, but almost, I love to wear lace corset and heels shoes. I really love “retrò” style.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Here, in Italy!
Well, Italy apart, I think in Munich, or somewhere in Canada! Maybe in California! I don’t know, there are too many beautiful places in the world…
What is happiness?
Happiness for me is being able to realize oneself and to be able to freely express one’s own being.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
On Friday night you can find me in the pub, club, in the square, or you can’t find me because sometimes I love to stay at home with my boyfriend and watch movies.
What’s your next goal?
My next goals will be to graduate, sell my paintings (I’m a painter and I studied art for many years), become a pole dance teacher and improve everything, including this wonderful work.
