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 .
