How did you become a model?<\/strong><\/p>\nI was interested in modelling, but my mum didn’t want me to start travelling a lot before I finished school. So I waited until I finished then went to an agency in Brazil, did some headshots and started going to castings. I took classes in how to walk properly for the catwalk and worked in San Paulo before starting to travel. <\/p>\n
What were you doing before modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\nI was finishing school. I also had been doing ballet for about thirteen years. I quit because I got tired of dancing – I was doing it about nine hours each day, which was really intense and meant I had no time to study. I didn’t want to be a professional dancer; I just enjoyed it as a hobby. I miss it now and would like to take up a class if I wasn’t travelling so much.<\/p>\n
What type of music do you like?<\/strong><\/p>\nClassic rock and the old stuff like The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix.<\/p>\n
What shows did you walk in last season?<\/strong><\/p>\nI skipped all the shows this season as I had modelling jobs in Brazil, but for SS12 in London I did Burberry, Acne, Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Richard Nicoll and in Paris I walked for Miu Miu, Lanvin and Celine. Sometimes it’s good to skip the shows as it gets so crazy and there is so much travelling [involved]! In January, I did Brazil Fashion Week which is even worse as they have forty shows in two weeks.<\/p>\n
What’s your favourite city?<\/strong><\/p>\nTokyo, I love it! I love the city, the people and the food.<\/p>\n
Do you have a particular photographer you would like to work with?<\/strong><\/p>\nI would love to work with Paolo Roversi. My favourite photographer is Zee Nunes as he really knows about the industry and makes you feel really comfortable, plus he’s a really sweet guy. I’ve been lucky to work with him quite a lot.<\/p>\n
Who or what inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe way my parents treat and respect people really inspires me.<\/p>\n
What’s been your favourite fashion moment so far?<\/strong><\/p>\nI think the AW11 Miu Miu show – I spent eight hours in fitting before I got there. I also met Miuccia, who was really lovely.<\/p>\n
What would you like to do in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\nI would like to go to uni, but I don’t know what I want to study yet. At the moment I’m travelling all the time, so it’s hard to have a routine and live a normal life. I’m looking forward to that in the future.<\/p>\n
