This French – Columbian,
21 year old model...
is called ‘the global sensation’. You might have seen Alexander
in Jennifer Lopez video ‘I Luh you papi’ and ‘Adrenaline’. Lately he was invited to Trinidad and Tobago as a guest model for
Red Runway. This fashion project is designed to showcase new
and emerging fashion talent in Trinidad and Tobago including
designers, models, make-up artists, fashion photographers and
fashion stylists.
Taking this opportunity, we caught up with Alexander in Las
Cuevas, Trinidad to talk about his work and get some great
shots of him on the beach.
I do consider modeling to be an art!
From the way you are put together
with different clothing to striking
a pose, it definitely tells a story, exactly like an art piece.
Modeling has been a passion of mine for a few years now. I
grew up admiring many different models and began to enjoy
fashion on another level. I also began to envisioning myself becoming a model. At the age of 20 I decided to pursue my modeling career. I enjoy it very much and appreciate all the love and
support everyone has sent my way.
Working with a team to produce fascinating images to walking on the runway, just seeing myself in many different places
is surreal. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have been
given. The high points of my career are that I get to meet and
interact with new people and work on amazing projects. The
low point of my job is mainly the rejection due to my locks, but
it also gives me the extra push to keep moving forward and
overcome any obstacles.
My future plans in modeling is traveling more to other countries and being in high end campaigns and performing in more
runway shows. As I would enjoy continuing to be a model, I
would like to pursue an additional career in acting, which is
why I have started to take lesson/classes in acting.
