RooMXMatez TM: IT GIRL

IT GIRL

By Unknown Tuesday, May 03, 2016 Models Talk

In this period of the year, while waiting for summer to come, after the whole Women’s Fashion Week season and right before Men’s Fashion Week’s turn, the RooMXMatez team had a lovely catch up with 19 years old model Sara Brajko, who eventually opened up about herself and told us that before getting scouted she had «just started going to high school. The whole time in middle school I was quite shy and mostly focused on doing things by myself, but after starting with high school and eventually with modelling, it helped me a lot with my personality and getting me out of my comfort zone».

The 19 years old model, who is now signed with Next Models Management in London, Milan and Paris, started modelling four years ago at the time she was 15 years old and was scouted by a friend of her mom, who suggested her to meet a modelling agent. The thing Sara likes the most about modelling is travelling, meeting new people and experiencing new things. On the other hand, she confessed that «working as a model can’t be always pleasant», and suggests that «it is important to not take any critique too personally».

And speaking of the positive things in this business, when we asked her what day would she like to relieve if she had the chance to, she mentioned it would be going to the Philippines to Cebu Island, where she shot an editorial for a Japanese magazine. Furthermore, Sara told us that the most influential person in her modelling career to date has been Kate Moss: «even before I started modelling I always was inspired by her and how her beauty is timeless, so I will have to say that she will always be an influential person for me».

And as one of Moss’ dreams when she started modelling, being on the cover of Vogue is a major goal for Sara too. But the way to success is always full of experiences. To mention a fun thing that happened to her during a photoshoot, there was that one time when Sara «had to wear latex boots, so they had to put lubricant all over my legs, so yeah that was a first one».

Aside from modelling, Sara told us that her dream country to visit would be Australia. A trip that she could definitely use as a great point of start of her studying career. In fact when we asked her what she would be doing for a living if not modelling, she said «I’m going to study Architecture and Interior Design in September so hopefully I will be able to get a job as an interior designer». As a model she already had the chance to visit multiple cities, as for instance London, Milan, Paris, or New York, of the whom she said that «it is great when you travel to a new city and work there for a couple of months, so you can experience living on your own and knowing your way around the city. It really helped me to get more independent in an early age».

Sara’s favourite thing to do in her spare-time is simply hanging out with her friends, who eventually still haven’t affiliated her a nickname.

As one of the last questions we had the chance to ask Sara was about how she would compare Milan to London fashion-wise, and she replied us saying that in «her opinion, London is more diverse and open minded to new designs and especially diversity». While last but not least we guessed her where she would see herself in five years time, as she answered «hopefully living in London, somewhere in South Kensington, finishing college and living a fabulous life».
