I’m 22 years old. I was born in Kosovo and I live in Borås,Sweden.
Besides modelling I also work for an online fashion store (H&M) .

​
What I love the most is the feeling that I get from modelling, the feeling that nothing else exists except me and the camera at that moment brings me happiness.

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?

Streetfashion Magzzine has definitely been the highlight of my career so far.

​Tell us about some of your recent shoots.
​
Well most of my shoots are in studios, but some of them that are in nature too, I love doing all kind of shoots.The recent one was for the Streetfashion Magzzine with photographer Helmut Jeels in Gothenburg , It was a great experience and I enjoyed it a lot.

What really goes on behind the scenes as a model?

Well there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes. You have to change the clothing, make-up and looks all the time. Beside this, I have a lot of fun with other models as well.

Which photographers in the industry do you most enjoy working with?

There are two photographers that I really enjoy working with, they are Helmut Jeels from Streetfashion Magzzin and Amelia Rosén from Cosmodels Agency . Both of them are very helpful and they make me feel so confident which is very important during the shooting.

​Define your personal style.

I wouldn't “define” my personal style in just one area of style, I like trying new things all the time I’m experimental when it comes to style.

Who would you say is your 'style muse'?

My style muse is Adriana Lima , she looks good in every style. I think she is so gorgeous.

Your favourite designer is… ?

My favourite designer is Donatella Versace. I just love all of their creations, clothes, shoes , accessories, everything is so unique and perfect. ​

Vogue or Harper's Bazar?

Between Vogue or Harper's Bazaar I’d choose Vogue definitely.

Is there any particular designer piece you are crushing right now?

Lately I'm really crushing handbags , especially those small ones from Louis Vuitton. I’ll probably end up ordering one soon.

What do you hope to be doing in the next five years?

In 5 years I hope I'll reach all my expectations in the model world , catwalk is one of them. 

If you could be anywhere else but here, where would you go?

Hmm ... I'm really happy being here right now , but if I could, I would like to work as a model in Paris or Milano.
