ONE ON ONE
Put your best work out there and keep going forward. Some folks will go after you for being too big, others for being too small.
ARE YOU CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH A FASHION TREND? IF SO, WHICH ONE?
Loving the imaginative use of fashion furs – faux, of course. I’ m looking forward to seeing all the heavy gold fabrics from this season’ s Fashion Weeks coming out for the holidays too.
WHICH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS YOUR FAVORITE?
Right now it’ s Instagram, which is more and more becoming a mandatory online digital portfolio for models. Because I have a few careers going at once – opera, classical and jazz singing; writing; running my business MODAL Productions – my IG is not as clean and focused as I’ d like it to be.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING A PLUS MODEL CAN DO FOR HER CAREER?
Well first is the worst thing any model could do in their career – being unprofessional, late, disrespectful. But for plus models particularly? Don’ t get caught up in the constantly changing societal forces around plus modeling. Put your best work out there and keep going forward. Some folks will go after you for being too big, other for being too small. You will get judged if you gain, or lose, weight. If you do or don’ t drop the plus. People outside the fashion industry who don’ t understand the business saying“ you don’ t even look plus.” Just be the best model you can be and don’ t let all these voices control your choices.
