Read an exclusive interview with Danish stunner bellow:
How were you discovered?
My mom and I were at a cafe when I was 12 and I got spotted by an agent from my previous agency.
What was your first modelling job?
I did a look book for an exclusive Danish fashion brand called AIAYU. They make fantastic clothing made from organic wool from Bolivia. I actually still make their look book every half year.
Dream job: who would you like to work with
Tom Ford and Calvin Klein would be the coolest.
Growing up, did you always want to be a model
I never really considered it…. I guess planning isn’t really my thing, I take things as they come. So it was kind of a surprise when I got spotted.
Ultimate fashion Icon
Kate Moss
Favorite Danish Model
Veneda Budny. i love her look and style. She’s like the ‘ghetto version’ of Kiera Knightly.

My navy blue bomber jacket that I got from a Copenhagen Vintage store. Its so comfortable and it goes with most of my wardrobe.

I’m listening to many different kinds of music. I grew up listening to 90’s R&B and HipHop, and I love classic artists like Mase and Aaliyah. I’m also a really big fan of Frank Ocean – I love his voice and cant wait for his new album to drop.

Focus on human values over materialistic ones. Keep it nice and simple

Not really – it varies.

Homemade saltwater spray for my hair and my lip cure from Tromborg.
