Living in Switzerland, Austrian model Christine Riener was spotted by us in the German model community Model-Kartei.

We already follow her work and photos for a while and now had the opportunity for an interview with her.

Take a look at her photos and read our interview to learn more about this interesting and talented model.
Christine, please tell us a little bit about yourself to begin with. (How old are you, Where were you born and where do you live now, What is your profession and do you have other besides modeling?
I am 24 years old, born in Linz, Austria, and have been living in Switzerland for 5 years. I am still working as a part-time waitress and am still working voluntarily in animal protection.

What do you love most about modelling?
It is very varied, I love to see the different results of the pictures and to meet new nice people again and again.
What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
I was scouted on Modelkartei about 2 years ago by a company, that invited  me to a casting and since then again and again provided me assignments at Wolford and Zalando.

Tell us about some of your recent shoots
One of my last shootings was quite exhausting. It was from Wolford for Zalando, lasted a week, from 8am to 7pm, but it was worth it despite the pain in the feet.

What is going on behind the scenes as a model?
It is not as easy as you often imagine, there are not just chocolate sides in model business. The beginning is hard and you have to work hard to reach your goals. Sometimes you also have to travel long distances and you don’t know, what really to expect, so are my experiences.

Which photographers in the industry do you most enjoy working with?
I do not have a favorite photographer. There are several with which the work really makes fun.

Let me introduce you to an aspiring model, Heather Kobza. She is a 37 year old woman who grew up in the hills of Kentucky. She says she will always be a country girl at heart, those are her roots. She decided to move to Florida three years ago and loves being so close to the ocean, she also has four degrees, one as a preschool teacher which she did for eight years. She decided to compete in a national modeling contest, which she placed third out of ten different counties on the runway. After that she was offered a one year modelling contract with a Florida\Miami modeling agency, she is also a part of models with a cause with Tim Bear. The purpose of model with a cause is to show the strength these women have dealing with chronic illnesses. Although her career in the modeling world is relatively new she has been in two TV commercials.
She enjoys modeling because she can show her inner beauty as well as her inner strength, and having it caught on film. Modeling has also been very therapeutic for her. It has helped her build her self-esteem from past traumas. Modeling has been a lifelong dream for her. She would do poses and practice posing in the mirror. The highlight of her career so far has been winning the one year modeling contract, being in two commercials. She is working on her acting skills as well, she loves being on camera.

She recently did a photo shoot with Tim Bear for models with a cause, shot in Florida. She loved doing the photoshoot at the beach and in the ocean. Behind the scene of a photoshoot is something a lot of regular people don’t get to see, here is a glimpse. It’s very fast pace, touch ups between shots, changing outfits frequently, most important there is time to laugh and joke around. Heather says you just have to have fun and enjoy the experience. She enjoyed her photoshoot with Tim Bear, he made it fun and she felt very comfortable.

As for her own personnel style she has a few. She likes the hippie look, bohemian, vintage, country, and beach styles. She says she feels more comfy in a pair of cut-off jeans, t-shirt, and barefoot on the beach. She also loves wearing gowns with high heels for a sexier look. I asked her if she had any style muses, and she said her muses are Kate Moss and Cher. She also has a few favourite designers, Guess, Calvin Klein, and express. Her favourite fashion magazine is Vogue; she loves their runway looks and the diversity of styles. Her current designer piece she is loving right now is Anuschka purses; they are hand painted on the leather.

In the next five years she hopes to get a role in a movie, she would also love to walk the runways and be a part of fashion week one day. I always wonder if someone had the choice would they live anywhere else, she says she is satisfied living in Florida. She was born to have her toes in the sand.

Getting to know Allie Sparks

14/11/2016

There's a lot more to discuss about Allie Sparks than the killer dance moves, amazing portfolio and passionate drive that propelled her to take on Vegas.  Within a few weeks she's appearing in music videos performing at some major venues and dominating casting after casting.  

​With a name that evokes star presence and glamour take a moment to get to know the incredible  Allie Sparks.

Can you tell us about yourself?
There is so much to tell, I don’t even know where to start! Basically, I’m just your average chick that has always been self-driven and passionate for dancing, acting, singing, and modeling...everything to do with being an artist! I am a college graduate with a degree in public health, but instead of pursuing a career in that, I wanted to finally pursue my dreams after spending my life focusing on school. I would rather use my knowledge in health by helping people for free because I believe that everyone should know how to take care of their bodies without having to pay thousands to a nutritionist! Aside from all of that, I’m an energetic free spirit that is obsessed with glitter and all things magic!
Picture
Any principles or belief you stand by ?
I believe that everyone and everything is connected, and that we can attract anything we desire with the power of our thoughts...law of attraction! I also stand by the ten principles of Burning Man which I believe should be followed by everyone in this world. A few of these principles include leave no trace, gifting, and radical self-expression.
How long have you been modeling?
I have been modeling professionally for about 4 years.

What's your favorite part?
Being able to express myself in many different forms through an image. Every image tells a story.

How was home life for you growing up?
It was great! I have always wanted to be famous, but I am so glad that I have not yet reached that point as I was blessed to experience a real childhood. I have been through a lot in my life, but I regret nothing as they were all lessons learned. I was also a pretty rebellious teenager, but I’ll save those stories for my E! True Hollywood Story segment in the future hehe.

Were you always supported in your endeavors?
Kind of, sort of. My mom definitely was supportive of me being a dancer, I mean she did put me in my first ballet shoes at 2 years old! And she would take photos for me to submit to agencies and take me to auditions every now and then, but she always pushed me to just stay focused on school and finish it before really pursuing anything full time. I’m not upset about it, I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything. Things have moved so fast for me since college, and I am proud to say I completed my education.

Whats a typical day for you?
There is no typical day for me, everyday I am either rehearsing for something or doing something different from yesterday...whether it’s filming a movie, modeling for a photoshoot, performing a festival...or sometimes hanging out at home and doing some yoga with hot tea.

What has been your favorite experience ?
I’m not really into favorites because everything is unique and special in its own way, but one modeling experience I won’t ever forget is one of my first fashion shows which has led to many more. It was the CocktailsXCouture Fashion Show at The Ritz in Tampa, and it was organized so well I felt like I was doing the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. There was so much energy and as soon as I was off the runway, I craved to go back onto it.
Picture

What is the biggest challenge you faced in your career?
Moving across the country and having to rebuild connections.

What has been your biggest achievement?
Starring as the lead role in a feature film which comes out November 19th. Look out for “Scathing” at an outlet near you!
Picture

Where do you see yourself in five years?
I see myself as a celebrity that inspires millions to follow their hearts and dreams, and spreading love and positivity across the world. In five years I also hope to own a modeling school/agency for foster children, and a holistic medicinal center for those with mental illnesses.
If you could shoot with your favorite celebrity who would it be. And what kind of concept? Paris Hilton, that girl rocks everyone of her shoots and she has grown up to be such a powerful business woman! The concept would be bold and colorful 90’s style with a high fashion twist.

Who is your favorite designer?
If Heatherette was still around, that would be my first choice. But right now it’s a tie between Betsey Johnson and Moschino.

Any other additional hobbies?
Painting, hula hooping, fire eating, contortion, crafting, yoga, and reading.

What's your favorite quote?
“Teach me the rules and I’ll teach you how to break them.” This was my senior quote in high school.
Do you have any shows or events coming up? I was recently casted as a performer for the Sin City Comedy and Burlesque Show at Planet Hollywood, and my debut performance will be November 12th with headliner Dustin Diamond.

Anyone you want to collaborate with in the future?
I would love to collaborate with Betsey Johnson for her clothing line!
What would you tell anyone doubting themselves?
Never ever give up! Look yourself in the mirror, tell yourself you are beautiful, amazing, and talented! You have a gift inside of you, find that gift and don’t be afraid to share it with the world. Stay positive even when you are down..what you send out to the universe is what you receive back.

Who inspires you?
