I'm that model chick

FU interviewed new New York based model and aspiring actress Danielle:

How long have you been modelling for?

1 consecutive year

Who/What made you want to model?

I've always wanted to model since a young girl and as I got older Kate Moss was a huge inspiration to me.

 

Have you always been one of those people who just loves to be in front of the camera (or mirror) posing?
YES! Since I could walk. I pose and look in anything I can see my reflection in.

What is it like on set/shoots, there’s a lot of girls, is there really any bitchiness or does everyone just get on and support each other?
I've always had dope collabs. I haven’t run into anyone out of line yet, but then again I may just have that "I won’t stand for it" look.

What do you do when you’re not modelling?
I’m mastering the craft of acting or shopping.

Who is your favourite model?
It’s between Kate Moss and Tyra Banks. I don’t aspire to be anyone but ME! Though I will learn from the path they paved.

 

What your best feature?

-My lips

What type of modelling would you never do?

Nothing is ever out of the question. Sometimes things just need to be tweaked. There’s always a loop hole.

Obviously models have to have a tight body, what do you do to keep in shape?

 I LIVE! I don’t strive to be like what you see on TV and in magazines. I want people to know I’m real, that will make it so much easier for others to relate to me.

Most people think that being a model is an easy job, they don’t realize that it’s a lot of hard work and new models face a lot of criticism and rejection are you ready for that?
Born ready. Over the years my skin has thickened and I'm ready to face the industry head on.

There’s loads of girls who want to be the next top model what makes you so different?

My outlook on life. People like me are rare now. I am charismatic, energetic, reliable, goal-oriented and most importantly OPTIMISTIC. Some people say they want it but are never really willing to risk it all to achieve it. It’s my time now and I will prove that.

Who would you like to work with in the future?
Elle, Seventeen, Vogue and Covergirl, Photographer Nigel Barker and Denzel Washington

What’s next for you?

Everything under the sun! I won’t say perfection but I will work hard everyday to get closer to it. Sit back and watch me work <3
