Prirodna i šarmantna, zvezda naše februarske naslovnice i modnog editorijala Lourdes Motta, jedna je od najuspešnijih modela današnjice. Sa poznatom manekenkom, samo za naše online izdanje, razgovarali smo o karijeri, životnim navikama ali i o daljim planovima za budućnost koja je, sudeći po dosadašnjem opusu, i više nego blistava.
Dobrodošli u Harper’s BAZAAR Srbija. Recite nam nešto o vašem angažmanu u svetu mode. Kako ste postali model?
– Imala sam 17 godina kada se desila moja prva naslovna strana, u mojoj rodnoj zemlji Paragvaju. Čim sam uplovila u ovaj umetnički svet znala sam da ga nikada neću napustiti.
Kako je prošlo fotografisanje za naš magazin? Kakva je energija vladala u timu tokom snimanja?
– Predivna saradnja, svaki član je bio maksimalno posvećen onome što radi. Izuzetno profesionalan i vredan tim.
Dolazite iz Paragvaja. Po vašem mišljenju koja su najperspektivnija tržišta za modele, vaša domovina ili neka druga inostrana tržišta?
– Paragvaj je još uvek mlado tržište za modele. Kada sam bila mlađa bilo je teško raditi kao model sa punim radnim vremenom. Danas se to poboljšalo, ali ništa se ne može porediti sa svetskim modnim prestonicama.

Kako izgleda vaš tipičan radni dan?
– Ponekad kada radim duge kampanje ili imam napornu nedelju vodim računa o tome da se zdravo hranim i da dovoljno spavam, kada imam više vremena vežbam. Dani su mi slobodni, bavim se sportom, družim se sa prijateljima i radim na ličnim ciljevima.
Ko vam je uzor i osoba koja vas najviše inspiriše u modelingu?
– Gisele Bundchen, volim nejnu karijeru i njene ideale. Za mene ona nije samo uzor u modnoj industiji, ona je moj životni uzor, kao žena i kao ljudsko biće.
Vi ste instruktor joge, da li imate još neki hobi?
– Volim da čitam, volim sve sportove (bilo da su na kopnu ili na vodi), a takođe volim i putovanja.
Modeling industrija nekada može biti oštra. Kako se vi nosite sa kritikama?
– Mislim da je najvažnija stvar u životu samospoznaja. Stvarnim poznavcanjem sebe možete se fokusirati na oblasti svog života koje treba poboljšati. Mislim da je ključno naučiti kako da volite sebe. Kada dobro poznajete sebe, ne obraćate pažnju na mišljenja drugih ljudi.
Koji su najbolji aspekti i izazovi u vašem poslu?
– Najbolji deo mog posla je što mnogo putujem i što imam priliku da se često povezujem sa različitim ljudima iz raznih delova sveta i to čini da konstantno rastem. Izazov je što vas ponekad vide kao proizvod, kao objekat, i zaborave da ste ljudsko biće a ne manekin.

Sa kim biste voleli da sarađujete u budućnosti?
– Volela bih da se oprobam kao glumica.
Pošto je 2023. godina stigla, koji su vam ciljevi, planovi i snovi u novoj godini?
– Planiram da se preselim u LA gde ću nastaviti da se bavim modelingom dok završavam studije glume.

– I was 17 years old when I did my first cover. It was in my birth country,Paraguay.As soon as I was introduced into this artistic world, I knew it was for me,and I never left it.
How did your photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar go? Did you have a good experience working with the team?
– I loved the team, each of them were so committed to what they were doing. Such a profesional and hard working team!
Since you are from Paraguay, where are the best modeling opportunities? In your homeland or overseas?
– Paraguay is still a little bit young for modeling. When I was younger it was hard just do modeling as a full time job. Nowadays it has improved, but nothing compares to working in the fashion capitals of the industry.

What does your typical day in a life working as a model look like?
– Sometimes when I’m doing long campaigns or I have a busy week, I ensure that I keep eating healthy and have sufficient sleep,when I have more time ,I workout. My days free, I do sports, socialize a little, and work on my personal goals.
Who’s your role model and the person that inspires you the most in modeling?
– Gisele bunchen, I love her career and her ideals. For me she’s not just a role model in the industry, she’s a role model in life, as a woman and human being.

Since the modeling industry can be harsh sometimes, how do you handle criticism?
– I think the most important thing in life is self knowledge. By really knowing one’s self you can focus on the areas of your life that need improvement.I think it is crucial to learn how to love yourself.When you know yourself so well, you don’t give any attention to the opinion of others about you and even more so when they are just being hurtful and destructive.

What are the best parts and the challenges of your job?
– The best part is that I travel a lot and I have the opportunity of connecting with different people from different places all of the time and that makes me grow a lot. And the challenge is that sometimes they see you as a product, as an object, and they forget you’re a human being, and not a manaquin.
Who would you like to work with or for in the future?
– I’d like to be an actress
Since 2023 is here, what are your goals, plans and dreams for the new year?
– I am planning to move to LA where I will continue to model as I finish my studies in acting.
