How would you describe your personal visual code?

My style is a blend of street skate culture and punk. I love mixing classic pieces with a bit of rebellion. When I skate, I usually go for oversized T-shirts, baggy pants, and sneakers. For something more dressed up, I switch to cropped trousers and heavy shoes. Lately I’ve been experimenting a lot and bodybuilding has definitely shaped not just my body but also my wardrobe. Sometimes I try on old clothes and wonder who they were made for because it clearly wasn’t me anymore.

Do you ever feel like your style changes depending on how you're feeling physically like some days you're more punk other days more minimalist gym hero?

Definitely. Some days I wake up and it is full punk energy with layers chains and no explanation. Other days I just want to wear a clean tank top sneakers and feel like I am going to lift something even if I am not. It really depends on my mood and how much coffee I had.

What fashion eras or designers shape your aesthetic?

I was inspired by the street skate-punk culture that was popular between 2016 and 2018. It was a time when I actively experimented with clothing, playing with unconventional combinations in search of comfort and a unique style. Those years left a mark on my aesthetic, and I still have a few pieces from that era in my wardrobe.

How do you relate to the concept of fashion as art? I believe fashion is a form of art but a very subjective one. Sometimes trends appear not because something is truly new or beautiful but simply because popular figures are wearing it. The artistic side of fashion is not only in creating clothes but also in how they are presented so people can feel the mood and energy behind them whether it is a collection or a brand.

When you are part of a shoot or show, do you feel more like yourself or like a character?

It depends on the concept but most of the time I still feel like myself. I do not try to act I just connect with the mood and let it shape how I move or look. Sometimes the styling or setting brings out a different side of me but it is still me just in another light. I like when it feels natural even if the image ends up looking surreal.

What role do music and street fashion play in shaping your image?

Music and street fashion are a big part of my style. I grew up listening to punk and skating almost every day. That time really shaped who I am now. My love for metal also shows a lot in how I dress and carry myself. It is not just inspiration, it is part of my foundation.

Do you still feel connected to that version of yourself the kid with the board and the headphones or has your style evolved into something completely new?

Yes that is something that never changed. No matter how much I try or experiment that version of me is always there. It is the base. I can wear a suit or walk a runway but the kid with the board and the headphones is still part of it. Always.

Has skate culture opened any doors for you in fashion or led to unexpected opportunities?

Yes for sure. Through skating I got connected with the brand Vans. They really liked my vibe and eventually even gifted me a board. We worked together on different projects across the year. It was not just one shoot but an ongoing connection. One of my favorite teams and one of my favorite jobs so far. It felt real.

If you could be part of a shoot with an iconic photographer who would it be?

I would love to work with Johnny Dufort or Tim Walker. They always experiment with ideas and their work is full of unexpected concepts. It feels like stepping into a different world and I like that kind of direction.

If you could appear in a shoot with any legend who would it be? Lil Peep for sure. His style and music were raw and bright in a way that felt very real. I think we could have created something strange and cool together. It would have been a wild mix.

If you could choose another career outside of modeling what would it be? I would be a rock musician or a tattoo artist. These things have always been part of my world and I am still growing in both. They are just as expressive and personal as fashion is to me.
