How did you get into modeling? John (my booker) saw me sitting at the tram station. That’s how all started!
Were you interested in fashion before you started modeling? Since I was a kid, I’ve been interested in clothes. I always loved to try them on in stores/shops. At the time my booker talked to me for the first time, I was doing the last year of gymnasium. I was working on a project where I designed and sew my own coats, too.

How long does it take you to get ready each day/grooming regime? About 20 minutes.
What are you most looking forward to being a model? Meet other people, visit different cities.
Most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done? Probably the whole year I’m in right now. I graduate and now I’m just living the life how it comes. Travel, designing clothes, model life.. ..everything is super spontaneous and I like that.
What do you do in your spare time? Design and sewing clothes, chill with friends, doing sports.
How often do you exercise/play sport? I hit the gym 5 times a week!
What sport do you like doing? I like to go skiing and play football.
