I moved to Paris when I was 17 and started modeling. Completely out of the blue, within a week I was offered the chance to walk for Versace.

At that time, there was a big separation between runway models and magazine models, and maybe because of my dance background, I could be more elegant and comfortable on the runway, so I basically fell into the former category.

At that fitting for Versace, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell noticed me, and coincidentally, they were going to Chanel next, where they mentioned me to Karl Lagerfeld, and Karl called me in for an interview. I was lucky enough to be able to walk for Chanel at the beginning of my career.
