ISABELLE
How would you describe your
personal style, where do you get
your inspiration from?
“I’m the type that is classy and ‘Pin
Up’ style. I love showing off my
body and its curves but always in a
classy and elegant way. I don’t really
follow fashion. If I see a piece of
clothing that looks good on me I
will take it and wear it. Don’t care if
it’s in style or not. I wear what I
want to wear.”
Do you get to travel a lot for your
work? If so what's your favorite
city that you have visited?
“Yeah I do, mostly in the south of
France. I’ve been to Montpellier,
Aix, Marseille, St Tropez, Toulon
already, never been to Paris yet.
That’s my next big step. Got to
work here to go over there.
I’ve been all over in the States as
well since I grew up over there too.
But professionally speaking I’ve only
emerged in the South of France. I
haven’t touched Paris yet. I hope to
one day.”
If you weren't modeling what
would you see yourself doing?
“Becoming a famous novel writer. I
do write. That’s my second career
main focus. I’m actually finishing off
my first novel. I might get
published. Cross your fingers for
me, a way to make them last.”

What do you feel you have that
sets you apart from the other
models?
“I’m real and I don’t consider
myself to be a sexual object that
men lust after. I have a loud and
rude mouth. That’s what sets me
aside from the other models. If I
have something to say I will say it. I
don’t care to who and how I say it.
Many people have come to me
saying “Isabelle, your mouth is too
big, you have to shut up and be
fake, that’s how you’re going to
make it”, that makes me laugh
because those people that
encouraged me to be fakes are
sitting down doing nothing in their
lives and I’m answering this
interview. Why, because I’ve been
faithful to myself. Some models are
shy and scared of showing who they
really are because they are afraid that
an agency or show won’t take them.
I’m who I am. Fuck the rest. I don’t
care if you’re the president’s half
daughter or the first minister’s lover,
If you’re full of bullshit, I will let
you know that. I rather keep my
values intact than a fake persona.
You either love me or you don’t.
I’m not the type of model to change
in order to sign a contract.”

Is there anyone in the industry
who inspires you?
“Dita Von Teese. I just love
everything that she represents.”
What do you feel you bring to the
modeling world?
“I feel that I bring trueness to it. It
has lost lots of its human values
over this past few years and I’m just
trying to bring it all back.”

What advice do you have for
other aspiring models?
“Just to be true to themselves and
they will go far. Don’t take no
bullshit from nowhere and accept
who you are. Love yourself and take
care of yourself. Keep those legs
closed. Sex won’t get you far.
Working hard will.”
What person have you worked
with in the industry that is most
memorable to you?
