What are your fondest modeling memories?

Being photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for various campaigns; traveling to amazing destinations; and building a close friendship with photographers Rocco Laspata and Charles DeCaro.

Patrick Demarchelier makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Peter Lindbergh is inspirational because his

imagination is so childlike.

What’s coming up this year?
