Interview: Model Gabriella Moraes (Brazil)

Can you tell us a little about you?

My name’s Gabriella Moraes I’m 22 years old and I’m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I’ve been modeling professionally for 3 years, currently I’m in Taiwan but I went to China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Hong Kong. I love what I do and I feel grateful to be exactly where I always wanted.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

Definitely I would like to enjoy more my free time, allow myself to be out of routine, to enjoy the moment, sometimes I can be very focus on my job that I forget to have more fun, find the balance between work and social life will be perfect to me!

How did you start modelling?

I grew up following Gisele’s Bündchen career so I always wanted to be a model but it was only after finishing my high school that I decided to look for a way to work with it. Then I found out a modeling course in my city called School Models. I spend 1 year learning how to became a model with them and then my teacher and scouter Moisés Karran (also director by School Models) introduced me to the best agencies in Brazil. I signed a contract with a great agency and soon after I met my mother agency Madchen Models who is responsible for my international contracts. My first contract was in China with my 18s.

What do you think of the work as a model?

There’s a Taylor Swift’s song where she said “We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical.” and I think these verses can describe perfectly the modeling life. There are bad and good parts like every job. We feel pressure in many ways for example, it’s not a easy job like most of the people think, specially for who is starting, we hear “No” most of times, sometimes we have a job, sometimes we don’t so this is very stressful and unfortunately it’s a very competitive profession. I also think the fashion world has to be better, they need to include more profiles and bodies. We still have a long way to go about it. The good part it is we can meet wonderful people and get incredible experiences, meet really great photographers, designers… It’s a world with many talented people. The fact we can work around the world it’s something that makes me feel very grateful for the opportunity, I love that every country has their very own aesthetics for fashion jobs. To be honest every time when I see the results of the work I forgot the bad parts hahahaha.

What is your beauty regimen?

Drink a lot of water, do therapist, spend time with myself, eat fruits and use sunscreen everyday.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

I’m very professional and patience. I really don’t care if I need to jump in a cold pool for the shooting or spend hours in work. I wanna do a good job, that’s makes me happy.

What are your plans for the future?

I will definitely study fashion designer in the future. I also wanna work as a model in Europe and South America! I would like to get more experiences in others continents and grow as a model. And also one of my biggest plans it’s buy a house for my family so I hope I can make it.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

This is a very hard question, l think I can’t choose so I would say some of my favorite experiences it’s all in Asia! Hahahaha. I love shootings but runway is more exciting because it’s live so every fashion show that I had until here was a unforgettable experience!

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Be always yourself and be brave! If this is what you want to do, just do it! Keep your mind and body healthy and study about how to be a model! Don’t let nobody compare you and focus on your progress!

What do you think of the magazine?

I think the Magazine it’s a really great platform! Hope you guys can reach more people because we can meet amazing artists here! Thank you so much for this opportunity and for let me to talk a little bit about me and my work!
