EDITOR'S LETTER
WELCOME
to the ISSUE
For our annual Influencer issue, we strive to honor the women who show us what it means to shoot for the stars. This month’s cover star, Carmella Rose, model, entrepreneur and content producer is a shining example of an artist who dared to dream big. With a cover photoshoot at Red Frog Beach Resort in Bocas Del Panama alongside some of the biggest social stars in the industry, the conversation and message for 2020 was to encourange us all to live for ourselves and strive to find happiness by looking inward, rather than outward. That is where we all truly shine the brightest. Elsewhere in the issue, we give you a first glimpse of Spring 2020’s hottest makeup and fashion trends straight from the runways of New York, Paris, Milan and London. It is my hope that Modeliste will continue to inspsire and empower you to find your own light. Special thanks to Copa Airlines.

What's a beauty tip that works every time? Drink 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every night before bed, it helps your body detox and lose weight.
MODEL DIARIES Where were you born? I was born in Redlands, California but grew up in a small town called Running Springs, California most of my childhood. Where do you currently live? I currently live in Los Angeles. How did you become a model/Influencer? I became a model at the age of 18. My manager at the time had found me through a photographer I had done a test shoot with and immediately signed me with his agency in New York City. Where do you draw your inspiration from when creating content for your feed? My inspiration with the content I create would be somewhere in between 90s vibes mixed with my love of nature. Last book you read? The last book I read was the uninhabitable earth by David Wallace-Wells. How would you describe yourself to people who don't know you? I am very passionate about our planet and love to always be doing activities. I’m very kind but if you cross boundaries I’m not afraid to say something. Friends are everything to me, I only have a few super close ones but they know I’d do anything for them. And I’m a music junkie, I love going to shows and finding new artists to listen to. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? Until the age of 17, my last name was McBreen. But when I graduated high school and went to get my first ID, my birth certificate and social security card said Carlson, my moms maiden name because my parents got married when I was 3 years old. Since that day I got that ID, I’ve used the last name Carlson. Most memorable career moment that you've had so far? I would say the first time I booked a campaign that lead me to leaving the United States for the first time, I went to Tahiti. That’s a feeling I’ll never forget. I knew my journey for what I always wanted to do had begun. What's the most incredible location that you've traveled to? Wow that’s a very hard question, there are so many, but I would definitely have to say Tanzania, Africa. Exploring the Serengeti.
28 FEBRUARY 2020 | MODELISTE
with CARMELLA ROSE What's the most challenging part of your career? The most challenging part of my career for me would be being hard on myself at times about my image. I’ve become a lot better over the years but it took a lot of self growth to overcome that. What is the one word that you live by? Trust. Because in life we constantly get to points where we really just need to trust ourselves. Doing that can do wonders What is your go-to karaoke song? Africa by Toto What is your hidden talent? I’ve been told I’m good at singing, but I’m too shy to do it in front of people for some reason. How would you describe your personal style? My personal style would be anywhere between chic, alluring and modern. What is your favorite fashion trend of all time? 90s and 70s fashion What is your must-have beauty product? My must have beauty product is La Mer’s concentrate serum. I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever put on my skin.
Best beauty advice that you've ever received? To hydrate a lot during a flight and keep your face completely clean. During long flights bring a face mask to hydrate. I always used to break out when flying and since I got that tip it’s much less now. How do you define beauty? By having a gentle and pure heart, that’s beauty. What is the biggest lesson that being a model/Influencer has taught you? Well it lead me to travel the world and taught me the beauty of the little things in life. But it also showed me how tough this world is as well, that we need to support one another. Show how you can become a light for someone. What is your latest project? I just signed a new contract with Ipsy for the year 2020 that I’m pretty excited about. What was your favorite part of the Modeliste Mode Around the Globe Influencer Getaway? I absolutely loved just drinking wine and dancing with all the girls near the ocean and in the rain. Such a pure and fun moment with all of them. What did you love most about Red Frog Beach Resort in Bocas Del Toro, Panama? I love all the wildlife surrounding it. I saw so many sloths which is all I wanted to see before going. It was truly beautiful! What did you love most about flying Copa Airlines? Copa really makes sure you’re well taken care of. I always felt kindly assisted whenever I needed it. What would you like to say to your fans? I just am so incredibly thankful for you guys!! Seriously love you all so much. Because of you I have learned who i am through the experiences I have been blessed with. I want to continue on learning and inspiring you guys, as you inspire me everyday. Thank you. What is something you would like to be remembered for? I want to be remembered for who I am and how I look at the world. Your heart can change anything.

On a scale of one to ten how excited are you about life right now? 11! I feel super blessed, excited and grateful with life at the moment. Where were you born? I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. How did you first get into acting? Tell us about your journey becoming an actress. I was always passionate about acting from a very young age, I started acting when I was around 7-8 years old. I started doing school plays and then later on moved to professional theatre in my country (Dominican Republic), I also did commercials and tv and film, then I moved to Miami to continue the pursuit of my dreams and now I live in Los Angeles and I am blessed to be currently working on two shows! (Mayans MC and Party Of Five). What you love most about being an actress? I love being able to build the lives of different characters, being able to dive deep into who they are and what shaped them into being that person, their childhood, what made them say or do something. What is the best thing that happened this year? Booking my new show Party of Five! I am thankful to be a part of such a meaningful project with an incredible cast and crew that has truly become my family. What are your 3 favorite Summer fashion trends? Biker shorts, mini dresses and my Gaia room purses! If you could sing a duet with anyone, who would it be? I would pick ROSALIA, she is so talented! I also adore how empowering she is. Last book you read? The last book I read was the four agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and currently reading feelings buried alive never die by Karol K Truman. What’s your favorite country to visit? I haven’t traveled around the world as much as I would like to, but I do love vacationing in my country, Dominican Republic. Upcoming projects you can tell us about? Mayans MC season 2 on FX currently airing right now where I play Leticia Cruz, a troubled badass, and Party Of Five premieres January 8th, 2020 on Freeform where I play Lucia Acosta, a straight A student with lofty college ambitions until the circumstances of her parents getting deported forces her to reevaluate her disposition to play by the rules. 58 FEBRUARY 2020 | MODELISTE
Heels or flats? Flats! (I’m a huge sneakers girl) You will literally see me wearing the fanciest dress and I will still have sneakers on haha. Lipstick or Lip gloss? Lip gloss! I love shiny and glossy lips. Best beauty advice you’ve ever received? Always wash your face before bed, wear sunscreen every morning, drink tons of water & eat healthy. Go-to beauty product at the moment? My Derma E vitamin c moisturizer. What are you binge watching these days? Grey’s Anatomy. I know I’m kind of late but I am loving it haha. Best fan moment? I was recently at an EMMY event and Dennis Haysbert came up to me and said he watched me on Mayans MC and was complimenting my work on the show. He gave me such wonderful advice about the industry and told me I would have a very long career if I continued to do the work I was doing, I was seriously fan girling! If you could star alongside any other actor/actress who would it be? Meryl Streep, Leonardo Dicaprio, Angelina Jolie. What would be the title of your autobiography? Hmm, I would probably name it Warrior haha. Why you love Modeliste magazine? I love Modeliste because I can always count on their magazine to keep me updated with the latest, top fashion and beauty trends.

Where were you born? Wellington, New Zealand Where do you currently live? Los Angeles, CA How did you become an Influencer? I started off as a full time model documenting my travels and lifestyle and enjoyed it so much that being an influencer is now my main priority. :) Where do you draw your inspiration from when creating content for your feed? I love traveling and have now been to 19 countries ( hoping to visit the 20th in 2020 because I’m lame ;) ) my love of traveling inspired my mainly travel style feed. I love bright happy vibes when it comes to the aesthetic of my Instagram. Top 3 New Year’s Resolutions? Finally getting on Youtube #1! #2 Moving into a bigger pad to make better youtube content haha as my current apartment in Hollywood is tricky for that. #3 Lastly visiting some really cool locations next year that aren’t just touristy but more unique like Africa id really love to go on a wildlife safari ASAP haha definitely a dream of mine for awhile. Top of my list is also Maldives, Dubai, Japan, Turkey, Jamaica and lots more! I really love traveling to new places so in 2020 I definitely want to continue the adventure! How would you descibe yourself to people who don't know you? My friends that know me the best know I don’t take myself too seriously in real life I love to joke around and laugh a lot. I’m very outgoing and always up for a challenge I love doing things that scare me a little and I’m quite an adrenaline junkie. On Instagram its easy to come off as girly but honestly I have quite a tomboy personality love to be outdoors fooling around with my friends. What is something your fans would be surprised to learn about you? That I consider my personality more tom boy than girly. Most memorable career moment that you've had so far? I guess back when I was modeling I was featured in Vogue for a runway show I did during Paris Fashion Week 2017 which was pretty cool achievement for me as a model. Now my greatest achievement and what I’m most grateful for is the opportunities I’ve had to travel and see the world. It’s very hard to travel often from New Zealand as its very far from most countries so I’m really grateful for the experiences I’ve had so far. :) 96 FEBRUARY 2020 | MODELISTE
What is something you would like to be remembered for? I hope people following my journey are more motivated to travel and pursue their goals. Coming from a small country and now living in Los Angeles traveling the world as something called an influencer was never something I thought was possible when I was younger and I remember really enjoying creating content and wanting to travel but I never thought that I could somehow make a career out of that so I hope my story can encourage others maybe living in small countries or town to pursue what really makes them happy and not let fear get in the way of them living their dream.
MODELISTE | FEBRUARY 2020 97
What would you like to say to your fans? That they’re amazing and that none of this would be possible without them! Thank you to everyone who follows and supports me you guys are the ones who make this all worth it and I always love seeing your replies to stories and photos. I feel like my fans have a really good sense of humor like I do and they’re always laughing at my pic fails
98 FEBRUARY 2020 | MODELISTE
What's the most incredible location that you've traveled to? For me I loved traveling to Mykonos, Greece. I’ve never seen somewhere so beautiful before I was obsessed with all the white and blue and laid back vibes there I really want to go back this summer! What's the most challenging part of your career? To be honest I think if you’re an influencer especially on Instagram usually in most cases your life is pretty great and I would feel weird saying something was super challenging because for me I feel like being able to live by mostly my own schedule, create content, work with amazing brands and travel the world is such a crazy blessing. For me I feel like the hardest part is just starting people compare themselves to others way too much online and feel scared to start their own instagram or youtube brand because they feel like they’re not good enough or its too late which is simply not true and I really encourage anyone who wants to start their own influencing career to just start! And be consistent which tbh I suck at haha What is the one word that you live by? Honestly Nike. JUST DO IT haha and to not let fear hold you back. What is your go-to karaoke song? Britney Spears Hit me baby one more time ;) What is your hidden talent? I have a hidden talent I just haven’t found it yet. How would you describe your personal style? I either look fully dressed up or I have my hair in a bun in sweats (which is most days) What is your favorite fashion trend of all time? I miss the juicy couture tracksuits… is that tragic What is your must-have beauty products? MAC Fix it spray and Beauty Blenders What's a beauty tip that works every time? Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat iconic nude with Dior lip glow to the max rosewood over top makes your lips look fuller but natural. I also really like adding some highlighter on the top of my lip which just adds to the effect of a fuller looking lips. Best beauty advice that you've ever received? To use a beauty blender over brush.
MODELISTE | FEBRUARY 2020 99

How do you define beauty? Confidence is beautiful to me and when a girl feels confident she smiles more a cares less of what others think. For me I feel the most beautiful when I don’t compare myself to others which is very easy to do these days. I feel like we’re constantly being shoved this image of what beauty is and we all need to remember there’s no one else out there that’s you and being YOU is rare. When you’re confident as yourself you look your best I believe. What is the biggest lesson that being a model/Influencer has taught you? Again it’s very easy as a model/ influencer to compare yourself to others and for me the biggest lesson in that and in life is to stop looking at what everyone else is doing and to really focus in on your own goals and dreams. In this industry, you're constantly being judged which can affect a lot of us but you have to always remember that you're not going to be everyones ‘tea’ or style which is okay and you’re better off being yourself and happy then feeling uncomfortable being something you’re not. What is your latest project? Building my YouTube channel so you guys can get to know me more on a personal level and see what life is really like on a daily basis. I’m really excited for some up and coming videos in 2020! What was your favorite part of the Modeliste Mode Around the Globe Influencer Getaway? I loved traveling with Modeliste and really enjoyed my time in Panama! I love going to places I’ve never been and Panama was certainly one of them. I loved how friendly and relaxed everyone on the trip was too it's really refreshing to travel with other people in the same industry as you who are very chill to be around. I also loved going zip lining in the jungle that was so epic! What did you love most about Red Frog Beach Resort in Bocas Del Toro, Panama? Staying at the Red Frog Beach Resort was so insane. Firstly the villas were literally next to the jungle and monkeys were next to the pool we actually saw a monkey in the backyard tree which was insane and an experience I’ve never had before. All the staff were friendly and made the trip an incredible memory for me. I definitely want to re visit!! What did you love most about flying Copa Airlines? Flying with Copa Airlines was a great travel experience their Copa Airline lounges are a great way to kill extra time before flying and we all felt really well taken care of.

top the Eiffel Tower gathered in shivery gentle mist, we awaited a benevolent glimpse of Lady Sun’s farewell. She had teased Paris all day from behind her dense cloud cloak, obscured by a spectrum of grays. Sparingly, she offered slivers of golden rays peeking through shy cloud puffs, briefly gifting the city with a faint misty rainbow before it was swallowed in Paris gray. At day’s end, the hopeful gathering felt almost reverent at the promise of last light. At once, we drew in a collective breath as the clouds gathered at the horizon parted slightly granting us a moment of sun’s last glow, leaving fluttery trails of smoky gold, peach and pink to silently slip away into a photo memory. The magic of Paris is forever, its beauty revealed in art and nature, monuments and moments. As we descend on the Tower elevator, the City of Lights awakens in breathtaking splendor. We love Paris day and night, when it drizzles or sizzles as the ode proclaims. Every visit is memorable, alive with discovery. Our most recent is the Chess Hotel in the heart of the Opera de Paris area, the prestigious 9th arrondissement where 19th Century architecture meets 21st Century trends on the right bank of the Seine.
