In this exclusive interview, Andrea shares her journey into modeling, the challenges sheâs faced, and the essence of her personal style. From her early dreams to her future ambitions, hereâs a deep dive into the life of this rising fashion icon.
âModeling Is More Than BeautyâItâs About Storytellingâ
How and when did you decide to become a model?
Modeling has been a dream of mine since I was little. I was always full of energy and drawn to anything creative, whether it was performing on stage or experimenting with different styles. While I explored different passions, I kept coming back to the idea of modeling.
What really fascinated me was the ability to tell stories through visualsâusing fashion, movement, and expression to bring an idea to life. I love that modeling is not just about looking good; itâs about emotion, presence, and making an impact. Once I started doing it professionally, I knew I wanted to keep going.
What has been one of the biggest challenges youâve faced in your modeling career?
One of the biggest challenges I faced was learning to be comfortable with rejection and trusting my own journey. In this industry, there are countless auditions or castings, and not every opportunity works out. At first, it was tough to not take things personally, but Iâve learned that every ânoâ is just redirection toward something even better.
Another challenge was overcoming self-doubt. In the beginning, itâs easy to compare yourself to others or feel like you need to fit a certain mold. But the moment I embraced my own uniqueness and started seeing modeling as an extension of my personality, everything changed. I think confidence isnât about being perfectâitâs about being authentic and owning who you are.
Stepping Into the World of Luxury Fashion
You collaborated with Dior. How was that experience?
Collaborating with Dior has been an absolute dream! Itâs a brand Iâve loved for as long as I can remember. My first-ever perfume was Miss Dior, a gift from my mom, and thatâs where my love for Dior truly began.
I started working with them last year, and it was such a special experience because I genuinely love and use their products, whether in fashion or beauty. Beyond that, the entire Dior team is incredibly kind, creative, and inspiring, making every project a joy to be part of. It feels amazing to work with a brand that Iâve admired for so long!
I also saw you in Furla campaigns. What was that like?
My experience with Furla was truly unforgettable. We flew to Dubai to shoot in the desert, capturing the essence of luxury as an investment in oneself. Beyond the campaign, we had moments of reflectionâlike a yoga session and a hot air balloon rideâthat reminded us that true luxury isnât just about price or status.
Itâs more about feeling untouchable, owning your time, and embracing the beauty of the present moment. That collaboration really resonated with me because it wasnât just about selling a productâit was about embracing a lifestyle.
The Life of a Global Model
Where has your modeling career taken you so far?
Iâve been lucky to travel to so many incredible places for work! Iâve had jobs all over Italy, France, the UK, and Germany, but also in more distant locations like New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, and even Mexico.
Each place has given me a unique experienceâfrom high-fashion shoots to creative campaignsâand I love how every destination brings something new to the table. Traveling for work is one of the things I enjoy most. Itâs always inspiring to explore different cultures while doing what I love!
How has your education prepared you for a modeling career?
I feel like my creative background naturally prepared me for it. As a content creator, I learned how to express myself in front of the camera, understand angles, and bring concepts to life. In school, I was always drawn to artistic activities. I took theater courses, dance classes, and even sang in a school band, which helped me become comfortable with performance and self-expression.
Iâve always been drawn to creativity and experimenting, which naturally shaped my approach to modeling. Itâs not just about standing in front of a cameraâitâs about embodying a mood, a feeling, a vision.
Beauty, Fashion & Future Dreams
Whatâs your secret to staying fresh and radiant?
Honestly, sleep is my secret weapon! I know it sounds crazy, but I always try to get 9-10 hours a nightâit makes a huge difference!
I also love to meditate, read, and journal, because I believe that a clear mind reflects on the outside. When you feel good on the inside, it naturally shows in your appearance. Of course, skincare and routines are important as well, but beauty isnât just about that. Itâs about energy, balance, and feeling your best.
How would you describe your personal style?
My go-to for everyday wear is definitely street style because itâs comfortable, effortless, and still stylish.
But if I had to pick my absolute favorite, it would be a mix of old money and Parisian styleâtimeless, elegant, and always sophisticated. I love fashion that never goes out of style. Classic blazers, high-waisted trousers, neutral tonesâthose are my favorites!
Who is one designer you dream of collaborating with?
I would love to collaborate with Miuccia Prada because Iâm absolutely in love with Miu Miu. The brand combines fun, femininity, and a bold edge, which really matches my style and personality.
I love the micro skirts, oversized silhouettes, and vintage-inspired details. Itâs effortless but still makes a statementâjust like the way I love to express myself through fashion. Collaborating with her would be an absolute dream!
A Quote That Defines Andrea
If I had to describe myself in one quote, it would be:
âKind heart, fierce mind, brave spirit.â
I believe that kindness and strength go hand in hand. Itâs about staying true to yourself, having the courage to chase your dreams, and never losing your compassion along the way.
