My aesthetic is shaped by the legacy of Massimo Osti, a true innovator in fashion. His work with C.P. Company, MA.Strum, and especially my favorite, Stone Island, redefined functional design. Stone Island is more than a brand it’s a culture of experimentation, technical fabrics, and unmistakable identity. I’m drawn to fashion that balances utility and self-expression, and Osti’s vision embodies that perfectly.
How does wearing or referencing brands like Stone Island affect your confidence or attitude in daily life and on set?
IT'S PART OF ME. STONE ISLAND IS NOT JUST ABOUT FASHION, IT’S ABOUT TERRITORY, RESPECT AND KNOWING WHO YOU ARE. I GREW UP IN THIS ENERGY. I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS ON THE STREET AND HOW PEOPLE WEAR IT. WHEN I PUT IT ON, IT’S NOT A LOOK.
WHAT WAS THE LAST COLLECTION OR PIECE THAT REALLY STAYED WITH YOU? THE DIOR X STONE ISLAND COLLECTION. IT REALLY SPOKE TO ME. SEEING HOW THESE TWO WORLDS MERGED - LUXURY AND PURE STREET CULTURE - WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL. THE DETAILS, THE CRAFT, THE ATTITUDE BEHIND EACH PIECE.
It’s been amazing. Working with Dior and Mr. Kim Jones has honestly shaped a big part of my journey. Each project had its own mood, and I loved being part of that universe.
Working with Mr. Kim Jones was very special. He’s very clear in his vision but open to individuality. You feel like you’re part of something refined yet fresh.
My experience was:
Pre-Fall 2022 was inspired by Jack Kerouac and shot by Rafael Pavarotti. It was super artistic and expressive, with bold colors and a strong story.
Winter 2022 was all about Paris. Shooting on the Alexandre III bridge felt iconic and cinematic.
Dior Ski 2022 was more sporty and dynamic but still had that Dior elegance. It showed a different side, which was really fun.
Spring 2023 had a relaxed and clean energy. It felt easy but still sharp and intentional.
Overall, it’s never just about wearing clothes. It’s about stepping into Dior’s world. And working under Mr. Kim Jones made it even more meaningful.
The shows definitely have their own kind of magic. I was lucky to walk in four of them, and honestly, each felt very different but always special in its own way.
Pre-Fall 2022 was my first. That felt exciting. There was this energy, like stepping into something new. It was confident, very cool.
Fall/Winter 2022 felt more classic and sharp. You could feel the strength in how everything was put together, very precise, very elegant.
Spring/Summer 2023 had this really easy and relaxed mood. It felt fresh, effortless, and just nice to be part of.
Fall/Winter 2025 probably felt the most powerful. By then, I was really able to enjoy it fully and be present in that moment on the runway.
Every show, in its own way, became a memory. Different moods, different stories but always special.
With Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe is a rare breed, an actor who doesn’t just play a role, he owns it. Every performance feels like a masterclass in intensity, depth, and unpredictability.
If you could take part in a shoot with an iconic photographer, who would it be?
I already worked with one of them - Rafael Pavarotti, and would honestly love to do it again. That experience stayed with me. I’m also really into Juergen Teller’s artistic vision, it’s very raw and honest, which I find interesting. And of course, Steven Meisel. That would be something on another level.
If you could choose another foundation that wasn't modeling, what would it be?
I’d be pretty confident about becoming a Formula 1 pilot. I just love everything about cars - driving them, filming them, feeling the road and the speed. It’s something that really excites me and gives a different kind of rush.
