What’s the best-kept secret about your hometown?

I come from Switzerland, my hometown makes the best wine in the world, I think! But nobody knows it yet that’s why it’s a secret, shh. (Smiles, E.D).

What was your introduction into the modeling world?

I had a friend based in Paris whom I met online. He was modeling and told me that my profile could work great. I went to Paris and he presented me with doing some photos so I could do some shoots. Then my mother agent saw me on Instagram because I did some posts of it and it all unraveled.

Do you have a lucky trinket that you wear or carry with you at all times?

My grandmother gave me the key chain from her first car. It’s a little metal dice and a Renault lingo. I was once at a punk concert that got a little wild and I lost a part of it. Thankfully, a lot of people helped me find it. And that’s when I knew this little thing meant a lot to me. 

Who’s the number one person you talk to the most every day?

Myself (Laughs, E.D). I’m an overly obsessive thinker and my thoughts love to get the best of me. It’s an interesting journey though.

What does style mean to you? And what are three adjectives to describe your personal style?

Style is a way to express yourself, and to define who you are. It’s fun to play with, to try new things, and be creative. If I had to say it be bold, edgy, and with lots of layers.

If you weren’t modeling, what’d you be doing professionally?

I’d still be studying instead of modeling. As a student, I’d probably have a job working in a bar or a restaurant.

Where do you shop?

Most of the time I have a precise idea of what I want to buy, so for that, I go on Vinted. Sometimes I also wear items that my friends create. Also, when I do have time I go thrifting. I rarely buy new items.

What’s your favourite song?

This one is extremely hard. There are so many great songs. If I had to choose one it’d be ‘Time’ by Pink Floyd. When I was a teenager I used to identify myself a lot with the lyrics. The music is just incredible. The whole album is truly a masterpiece.
