Oh, its a long story. I started modelling at the age of 14. Four years later during the Paris fashion week I met a guy with a story to be unveiled. This guy was a top model at a time, but he developed too quickly and peaked too soon. He was like Icarus and was about to lose everything. I had some friends who ran an agency in NYC. That summer we helped him to come back to the list.

We all need someone who will believe in us even when the world is ruining. Especially sensitive people, particularly ones in the fashion world.

At that time I realised that the hardest thing is not developing somebody or something, it's standing still when the ground moves.
