The Genius of Gia Genevieve

Image
Gia Genevieve is THE modern pin-up girl. While she is much more than that, she revels in this moniker. The Los Angeles native has been transfixed by classic Hollywood glamour for as long as she can remember. It’s in her DNA. Instead of rebuking her feminine whiles, she revels in them. Anointed by the iconic Dita Von Teese, Genevieve has taken her own Tinsletown-meets-Rockabilly culture to recognition by fashion, music, and fans everywhere. Creating a modern day brand recognition takes a lot more than beauty. Gia has carefully directed a style and course which she conceived of and implemented. It’s proof that there are many paths in today’s world for a woman who is in control. From her massively anticipated calendar to being the face of clothing lines to features in classic car magazines and the legendary Playboy (USA) magazine, Gia Genevieve is classic looks with a current business mind. Photographer: Shannon Brooke  Like many vocations, modeling has seen a segmentation ...

Professionally Provocative - Interview with Kyle S. Parsons

Image
Kyle S. Parsons has been getting a lot of attention recently after the Rich Kids of Instagram, Daily Mail UK, and Bild (Germany) featured him in various articles. He has been receiving mixed reviews from people either hating him for being more well off and other people thinking its cool and wanting to be like him. Two years ago we conducted an interview with him and now we asked him again about his new book Professionally Provocative . How has your social media channel evolved over the last few years? You know, when I first interviewed with you guys a couple of years ago, I was at the peak of developing my 'Rich Kid if Instagram' image. I was very strict with the types of photos I posted, I spent a lot of time working on my posts and thinking how people would react to them. But slowly over the past year, I started posting more creative - edgy - risqué photos on my Instagram page. So they still fit with my 'rich kid' image, but added some flavor to otherwi...

He has traveled the world and worked in more than 15 countries, and his success is only going upward from here. Hi Davide, thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Let's dive right in: How did the "Go Red" True Religion Campaign change things for you? Hi, and thank you for the opportunity to do this interview. True Religion was actually one of the very first brands from the US to pick me. The True Religion campaign helped me begin my career in the United States. Since then, I've been having a lot of success with American designers and shows. I was just part of Los Angeles Fashion Week, where I modeled designs from Kevin Evans and Jonathan Marc Stein. Your career has changed a lot since its early days, and it continues to change with each coming year. How have you managed to have...

THE BRAZILIAN SPIRIT OF AN INTERNATIONAL MODEL: ALANA TAPIGLIANI

Image
Brazilian Alana Tapigliani realizes that her homeland is known for producing some of the most beautiful and captivating models in the world. Although she is now listed among these models, it was never a venture she planned on pursuing.

Tapigliani is continually doing something different and unexpected. It’s an exciting lifestyle that is not void of challenges and difficulties. This Brazilian model feels that she gets the chance to experience the world and interact with many talented artists while representing the work of designers and brands that she appreciates. There’s no telling what new opportunities the future will bring for Alana as her visibility and notoriety continue to elevate. She confirms tha...

Scratch the surface of modeling and you’ll soon find that there’s much more to it than pleasant aesthetics. For many top models like Australia’s Holly Kagis it’s about personal growth and experiencing life. Kagis has an internationally successful and busy modelling career but it’s not the exact path she intended for herself. She says that, though unplanned, it has culminated in a personal evolution and an exciting journey. The Aussie model’s ventures into dance and acting have combined with her intensity and skill on the runway, resulting in a signature style and leading to offers from designers across the world and at some of the most prestigious campaigns and fashion events on the globe. Holly has been seen working with names like Mac Cosmetics, Victoria’s Secret, Jordache, L’Oréal, and others. Sometimes life offers the greatest surprises when you’re looking the other way, which is precisely what happened to this acclaimed model: she’s learned a greater appreciation for the artistic...

Interview with model Karina Zakaryan

Image
We have conducted an interview with Karina Zakaryan to talk about how she started her model career. How did you get discovered? I was offered work in model agencies since I was 15. It was interesting, but I knew that my priority is higher education. I didn't understand that the model has age limits. I chose education. During the last years, I have combined education with office work. Approximately two years after graduation, I received another offer of model work. By the time I could afford it. I decided to try. I have already had a contract after a month. How did you feel at school - thin or tall? Yes, it's about me. I was the tallest in the class including boys. As a child, we cannot evaluate the advantages of appearance and we often have complexes. I stopped without noticing it. The first experience of the model made me straighten my back and proudly carry myself on the podium. I became more confident in myself, thanks to the work of the model. I learned to ...

A unique life - interview

Image
Unique Love is a 23 year old model with a passion to travel the world alone. She currently lives in Cape Town, South Africa for modeling and acting but she was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Which are the top five unique places you've travelled alone and you still find them understated in most media channels? My first plane ride was to Budapest, Hungary. I believe the world doesn't know much about Budapest and what it has to offer. Its beauty took my breath away every morning I awoke. Second, would have to be Prague, Czech Republic. Prague felt like a gothic Disney world and I loved every second of it. I was immersed into an era that I would only read about in my history books. While in Prague the only thing that was missing were my ball gown and horse and carriage. Third is definitely Naples, Italy, which in my opinion felt like real Italy. Naples isn't filled with only tourist attractions, they have their problems, and they drink their espressos and ...

We have conducted an interview with her. What are the uniqueness of your appearance or personality that makes you suitable to modeling? Which is the most stringent modeling criteria that you have ever overcome? I have a unique face. Many times, people have stopped me, in the store, on the streets... And asked me if I was from some other country (i.e.: Sweden. Germany, France, basically anywhere in Europe). I've even had people mistaken me for being from their own country, and try speaking to me in another language!! I have high cheek bones, which everyone loves, and a very defined jaw line. Makeup artists always tell me I have the perfect bone structure for makeup. My lips are a bit small, but have a great shape to them. My eyes are blue, and I can open them very wide. My figure is an hourglass: 32-24-3...
