Something funny that happened during a casting?
They never imagine that I have such good hips. My face is very cute, but I have hips that they never think I will have, they are always surprised hahaha
What does fashion mean to you?
It is something that happens over time. While a style will live on forever, your personality never goes away. The fashion says yes.
Who is your biggest beauty inspiration?
Definitely Hailey Baldwin.
What are your goals as a model?
I don’t have so many goals in this world. I’m a model because I’m a beautiful woman, but my dreams are related to television. I dream of working for Netflix.
Who are some of your favorite models and designers and why?
Hailey Baldwin. Her style is unique; her way of dressing and the couple she makes with Justin are definitely a hit.
Another model that I think is a super pretty person is Shannon from Lima. I had the opportunity to share a day with her here in my hometown with a mutual friend of James and Shannon.
Another model who is undoubtedly my favorite and is Colombian is Daniela Salazar. She is a charming woman. I know her, she is a friend of mine and I love what she transmits to us through her networks. Apart from everything, she is a natural woman.
Designers: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who do not feel full wearing their clothes? Elegance, class, and security.
How did you stay in shape?
I train daily. My great passion is running. Live to run, run to live.
What do you think of the size 0 controversy in the industry?
Good topic. I suffered from anorexia and today I am 100 percent recovered. I think that what these models show us has too negative an impact on women.
What is fun and rewarding in modeling?
When you are a model, you feel beautiful, admired, and honored for your beauty. I think the most beautiful thing is the security it gives us as women.
And what do you dislike?
All hahaha … I’m too explosive; it costs me patience.
What is your advice for the newer models?
Never stop dreaming.
Today, there are too many beautiful women, there is a lot of competition, so give your 100% in everything.
If you don’t go for everything, don’t go for nothing.
What are the guilty pleasures of food?
Ice cream, without a doubt.
How often you go to the gym?
Everyday.
