But I took her business card and called the agency a week or two later and I was luckily accepted;I did a photoshoot that I have shown my friends, and their reactions were all the same: “You were born to be a model” and then I decided to start my modeling career; while modeling for various brands I had the idea of trying and creating something I thought could be promising. Then I started to teach my self how to design and make simple clothes for my self.That is how I have started to become a professional fashion designer.
