How did you start modeling?
I was playing a small role in a musical. One evening there was a modelscout watching the play, and hereafter everything just kind of fell into place.

Your favorite Icon/TopModel
There is this Danish supermodel from the nineteens called René Toft Simonsen who I think is really cool and wise. After her career, she read psychology at the university, and today she writes these really cool books addressed to young girls. I think she is a great example of both beauty, creativity and brains.

Describe your Style
My style is very relaxed and easy going. I love buying my clothing in vintage shops – sometimes it can be almost like a treasure hunt! When I work, I usually wear really simple clothing – like black jeans and a top.

A favorite dress in your wardrobe?
Right now it a short bohemian dress with flower print which one of my best friends gave me, before she travelled to Nepal. Other than that I really like my new ankle boots – they go with everything!

A funny experience as a model
I have experienced so many good things – it's impossible to choose one…

Your biggest dream?
I think it could be really cool to make document movies at some point… But the dreams keep on changing.

How do you spend your free time?
I like to draw and paint in my free time! Furthermore I just love spending time with friends, family and boyfriend. It doesn't matter so much what we do – I just really enjoy spending time with them. They are the most important thing to me!

What is your favorite type of food/dish?
I really love Thai food! I tastes soooo good!

Beautytip?
The eyecream from MAC is a musthave! I travel and work a lot – and sometimes I can be difficult to get enough sleep. Like every other person – this can be seen on my face... But this eyecream removes the puffy spot beneath the eyes so good that beautysleep (almost) becomes overrated.

Which social network do you use the most?
Facebook – It's a good way to communicate with everybody when I'm away.

Favorite fashion site or blog?
Don't really read those kinds of things. I'm definitely more into reading news or books. I only follow one fashion blog which is "Manrepeller" – I think she has a down-on-earth and humorous approach to fashion, which I find cool and entertaining.

Personal motto
Hm. I don't have one motto in particular. A friend once told me that he asks himself – if he was a movie character, which one would he be – and whether would he like that guy? Other than that I just believe that it is important to have a positive attitude to whatever you meet or do. It makes everything easier.
