With a smile that instantly brightens any room, model Gabriella (@gabby_lana) is making waves in the modeling world. KIDFASH took a moment to sit with Gabriella and mom, Edyta to find out any pointers they have for aspiring young models.
Gabriella has always been a show stopper, and at a very young age her mother decided to put her into modeling because so many people comment that she should. "Ever since she was a baby people would stop her and ask if she was a model," says Edyta, "so I decided to put her into an agency!" And since that day she has shined throughout multiple modeling shoots, even all the way to a Nike shoot in Japan. "She’s a one of a kind, she’s beautiful on the inside and out!"
Be Ready to Take on New Challenges
This is a common occurrence for many of us. After being forced to be home for quite a while due to Covid, many models had more challenges than normal. For Gabriella, as social as she was she had to take the time and be homeschooled for nearly 2 years. It was a challenge, but she has always been ready with a smile and professionalism. What are some other sacrifices? "Having to sacrifice your friendships or opportunities for your career," says Edyta, "but at end of the day everything happens for a reason which makes us better and stronger people!"
Listen to your Model
Just like a mother's intuition, young models can have a sense of when they need a break. "There were a few times where she didn’t want to do that certain photo shoot," says Edyta, "so I didn’t force her to do it because I knew that she would be miserable." However if it occurs often, perhaps that's not the career for your child. Gabriella thrives on working behind the camera and mom is enjoying every minute of it. "It’s fun watching her do what she loves most. As long as she’s happy in her life then I’ll be happy as well no matter what she does!"
Network, Network, Network
One of the best tips for any business is to make good use of the resources around you. Networking can be done anywhere, strike up conversation with people who are living life in a way you desire. For Gabriella this isn't hard, she loves meeting new people so she takes every opportunity to make connections and hopefully continue to grow her brand. "Gabriella loves meeting new people," says mom. "She isn’t the biggest fan of social media but she knows that it’s important because it helps with her career a lot! She meets tons of new people through social media that help with her career."
Gabr l loves meeting w people
For her future Gabrielle continues to dream of becoming a runway model and an actress. She would specifically love to play a villain in a movie. Mom believes she can do anything she desires. "Gabrielle loves helping people and has one of those rare smiles and personalities that instantly lighten your day! She also truly has a gift in multiple things." To Gabriella it all comes naturally, but reminds those interested in a similar path to "follow your dreams and to never give up because everything in life takes hard work and effort."
