Interview: Cover Girl Luce (Netherlands)
Can you tell us something about you?
My name is Luce, short for Lucienne since no one is calling me that. I have been working as a model since I was 17 years old and during that time I’ve had so many different nice jobs and seen some beautiful places. In my daily life Im taking care of my 3 horses and racing on the beach or riding through the forest. I think it’s the ideal combo of zen moments and sensation.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
Hm, I think I’ll go for more easy hair. My natural hair is curly and a little frizzy, so sometimes hard to handle. With fresh washed hair I can definitely not leave the house untamed unless jungle is the theme:)
What are your good qualities and your less good ones?
I'm quite patient and caring, but a less characteristic thing is that I can't take decisions. Even small ones can take forever.
How did you start as a model?
Scouted during a shop session. Started building a book and so it began. This is also my only job so far.
What do you think of working as a model?
I think it’s a fun and varying business to be in. Seen some incredible places and met interesting people during jobs. What I do feel now is a change in the whole branche between now and the time I started when the only way to get bookings was through agencies. Now it comes in multiple ways since I created a strong network of connections for myself.
What's your beauty regimen?
I never go to bed without removing my make up. After work I take it off as soon as possible. Sometimes when Im driving home. And when I don’t have to work I only use good moisturizer and a bit mascara.
What are your plans for the future?
In the future I hopefully will have a lot more nice bookings and for the rest of the time Im quite busy with my horses and other the furry kids. So things are a little different now. I don't want to be on the go everyday to keep an active life.
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?
The most favorite jobs were the bookings on tropical islands. But also fashion shows like Hunkemöller were unique experiences. And then you have the shoots that were a bit boring but had great payments haha.
What would you like to do next as a model?
Through the years I already have seen a lot, but to be booked for the new campaign of a big designer a la Dior, Chanel or Balenciaga would be the ultimate.
Do you have any advice for those who want to start as a model?
Get educated and represented by a good agency to get you started. Especially young models should not be exploring on their own. The negative side of this work, are the risks of getting involved with bad influences of the wrong people.
What do you think of Modelland Magazine?
Nice and interactive fashion magazine that gives every part of the modelling business a stage.
