1. How did you get into modeling?
I had my first experience in modeling in august 2020. I posed naked for the photographer Idan Wizen and his project “Un anonyme nu dans mon salon”. I kind of liked it. One year later I created my Instagram account and started to publish self-made photos. Some photographers noticed my work and proposed to collaborate with me.
2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?
When I don’t model, I write, I act and I play Pokemon Go. The novel I am currently writing is about pokemon, sex, body, acting and Japan. I have been teaching Japanese for three years to high school students.
3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?
I turned a guy I liked into a fictional character and wrote a short story in which he was the hero. I offered him my work after he dumped me. In modeling, the strangest thing I did was wearing a mask of commedia del arte and leather gloves while fully naked. I enjoy a lot universes that disturb.
4. What’s your life motto?
Turn your dreams into reality before they feed on you.
5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!
Elegant, classical, timeless. I love Issey Miyake’s “Eau d’Issey”. I love fresh perfumes, the kind you wear in summer, the ones made from citrus fruits.
6. What genre of music best describes you?
I love traditional Japanese music. It’s called “enka”. It’s about nature and seasons, couples who split up, the passage of time. I also like Lana Del Rey very much. She has something so melancholic that reminds me of my own “spleen”.
7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?
I was born and raised in Narbonne, South of France. It’s a small town by the Mediterranean Sea. It used to be a big harbor during Roman Empire. You can visit some impressive remains from that time. In summer you can hear cicadas singing while having a drink under the plane-trees. It’s lovely.
8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!
If “get naughty” has the meaning I think it has, well… Let’s choose some gorgeous muscular American actors like Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds… The more the merrier !
9. Do you have any special Talents?
I write poetry, I speak Japanese, I am a world class Pokemon Trainer and I can cry on cue.
10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?
I may be a little bit old fashioned… I don’t know what is trendy on line these days… I must be spending too much time playing Pokemon Go !
