Anonymous asked: what got you interested in fashion/models?
have you ever met a model? do you know anyone in the industry
hmm i know people usually have like a detailed answer for the first question but for me it was just a mishmash of a lot of stuff
I’m really good at recognizing faces, so growing up I’d always see ads with models like Carmen Kass and Angela Lindvall and Tiiu Kuik and stuff and they were so so so beautiful and after learning their names I’d always make a point to find their faces on ads/magazines as a sort of game.
Then I started peeking into Vogues and Glamours and Allures because Seventeen was too ~immature~ for me and I got my first real taste of what high fashion was, aka designers and fashion houses, not Limited Too. John Galliano/Christian Dior were the first to really catch my eye and pique my interest. Then the internet was invented and I had access to all this stuff and I started saving a bunch of fashion pictures and yeah. There might have been more in between but I probably don’t remember.
I have never met a real model, no. I came thisclose to being able to request a bag of her toenails/wear her skin though. I am 15% kidding
