WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

As a young boy, I always had problems with my weight. So fashion was only something I looked at with big eyes, but I never could reach. As I lost weight, I totally changed myself: my style, my look, my hair and so on. Since then I wanted to wear all the beautiful clothes. I also became a model, which I never had dreamed about a few years ago and I needed time to realise that. Now sometimes it feels like "look at me now, all you guys who laughed at me!". I started my blog, because I wanted to express my style and show them to the world. I want to show people that it is worth to look beside the mainstream and find their own style. I promote small labels to show how creative fashion can be beside all the same stuff in the shops.

SOMETHING BRAVE YOU’VE DONE:

I lost 70 kg weight, that was really brave and wild and changed my life.

WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?

I am not mainstream: I don’t look like others and don’t think like others. It is important to me to find my unique style, no matter what other people say.

DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE:

I love fashion and I am really open-minded about it. I like to combine different kind of styles – for example skinny ripped jeans with tails or meggings with an elegant blazer. I always think about the whole outfit, so that everything fits, from shoes to hat. Also my hair is a big part of my style.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

I love New York City. Every time I am in this city or even think about it, it makes me feel comfortable and inspires me.

MOTTO:

You only have this life – so do something with it.
