Words from a consummate model
S
he began modelling at a tender age. The cover girl for domestic and international magazines and the image of prestigious brands, Judit Mascó is an icon for femininity, elegance and luxury. With words influenced by her personal experience in this profession, she speaks to us about Barcelona and other parts of her life. She is the star of this edition. Since the legendary Sports Illustrated cover which established you as the “first Spanish model to grace the cover of this publication”, how has that cover influenced your career? While I had been working as a professional model for years and had a portfolio full of covers from the most acclaimed domestic and international fashion magazines, being on the cover of that famous American magazine certainly did increase my popularity. It represented international recognition. It raised my profile as a model, and I feel I used it to my benefit. From that point forth, I started taking part in fashion shows in Milan and New York, had the top fashion photographers calling me and was featured in a number of television adverts. It changed the direction of my career.
Watching you mature, jovial, friendly, incredibly beautiful, helps view modelling from a different perspective. That is, not as a career which ends when you reach a certain age, but as a profession viable at any stage of life and at any age. There’s no denying our profession is intimately linked with youth, but also with a good image, professionalism, charisma, femininity, experience and elegance, or knowing how to emphasise the clothes we wear, so that, while I always thought this would be a short career, experience tells me not only am I still working and making a living from my job as a model, but that I’m enjoying it more than ever. Ever charitable and deeply involved in a number of causes concerning, above all, childhood and food, what spurred your commitment to these NGOS? Do you feel that when celebrities or high-profile individuals support certain causes this encourages people to discover the organisation and help out? Yes, provided they’re doing it from the heart. What made me decide to get involved was verifying that we all have certain basic rights to
a decent life, and as some people can’t exercise them, we need to ensure they’re exercised for them.The needs aren’t enormous. We just have to make a change. My goals are just like those of any other person looking to collaborate with an NGO, not simply donating money, but seeking a greater implication. And the advantage or difference I have is that my popularity means my voice reaches more people. Hence why my commitment started by getting to know and getting involved in the projects I now collaborate in. You were born in Barcelona and have always lived here. What is the first thing that comes to mind about this city? I travelled a lot for many years, but I always came to the conclusion that Barcelona is a city that has the perfect amount of everything, and is extremely well positioned. Beside the Mediterranean Sea and just over an hour from the Pyrenees, it lets you ski and eat paella on the seafront in the same weekend! And as a cosmopolitan city, it has the virtue of being more human than other European capitals, not only thanks to its size but the way of life in its neighbourhoods, which end up feeling like little towns. It’s a great city to live in and I love it. This year you are the image of Union Suiza. What are your ideas for next year? Which job would you be thrilled to receive? I’m the image of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and I still feature in the television advertising campaigns, I have my weekly slot on Catalunya Radio with Manel Fuentes and I’m excited to work with the Union Suiza jewellers. Soon, I’ll be starting a blog for the magazine Marie Claire, and I hope other pending projects will materialise in the upcoming year. I’d be thrilled to go back to television. I had a great time and learned a lot
AUTUMN & WINTER 2011
In your opinion, what is the most gratifying part of this profession? I’m independent, and I’ve always liked and still like travelling, but spending extended periods of time alone made me miss my loved ones and my city. But I’d say the best part is the job itself, that is, walking the runway, posing in front of the camera or filming an advert. I find it incredibly exciting! It’s something I’ve enjoyed ever since I was little, and still do. All the sacrifice was worth it. Modelling is my profession, and along the way I’ve grown and learned a lot. All professions, and even modelling, although it sounds superficial from the outside, are tools which help you make the most of life. Well-assumed sacrifices and successes are part of my life experiences. Both the good and the bad have helped me become who I am today.
How has your professional life changed since becoming a mother? How do you balance your profession with family and personal life? What’s your secret? When you really want something, it’s not so complicated. I got pregnant at 27 because it represented an incredible source of joy for both of us. I had been working hard for many years, as I started out young. There weren’t any complications, but I did harbour certain fears about what would happen to my career after having my first child. To my surprise, work increased, and it became clear that with effort and good organisation, it was possible to balance family and work. Like so, so many other women who work in this country, nothing is perfect. But with hard work, it’s possible. Especially if the grandparents lend a hand!
