Model: Nikla Minolfi
Model Nikla Minolfi (Italy)
Can you tell us a little about you? Hi ever yone! I'm Nikla Minolfi, I'm 28 and I come from a small town in Northern Italy. I graduated in Law and obtained a master's degree in Econo-mics which led me to teach in a high school l ast year. Since I was a child, then, I have been committed to the National Association of Former Deportees by developing and exhibiting inter ventions to raise awareness among y oung and old about the Second World War and the deportation to the ex termination camps. Always a lover of the art world, I starred in sever al short films, commercials and music videos. I was ver y lucky to see up close how an imp ortant set works thanks to my parti-cipation in famous fictions such as "Questo Nostro Amore 2" and "Fuoriclasse 3" and in the film "La Bella Estate". To continue to grow pro fessionally, I engage in numerous photo sets as a model for important brands such as Qc Ter me, Lieger Micro Car, Damigague, The Mall, Cerim e Laines du Nord; I was also elected te stimonial of Nodà Moda, Ottica Rosso e Marcos.
If you could change any thing about yourself, what w ould it be? In these past few years I have dedicated myself to the study of various spiri tual branches and thanks to the help of my Master and Hypnotherapist Raffaele di Matteo, I have learned to accept and love my-self exactly as I am, making each of my physical de tails correspond to a piece of my stor y.
How did you start modelling? When I was a child, my mother, passionate about ph oto-graphy, loved to capture images of me and my grow th , leaving me free to express myself in front of the camera; so as soon as I got older it c ame naturally to me to tr y to challenge my-self on different sets; shortly after I was cont acted by several agencies who believed in my potential. Throughout this path, my mother has a lways supported, understood and flanked me.
What do you think of the work as a model? As in any type of work, it is our mindset that defines the beauty or critical sides; I can only sa y that for me it remains the same game that I played as a child with my mother, an interpr etation of myself and a way to know me and lovely during all of my changes.
What is your beauty regimen? Absolutely none! I just tr y to drink a lot and whe never pos-sible engage in physical activity as a leisure activity. I believe that the most important thing is to feel good about yourself, in terms of s oul balance, only in this way can all of this be reflected on the outside as well.
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? The passion I put into ever y thing. I've always loved ever y thing I did out of all proportion and I've learned over time to see it as a strength.
What are your plans for the future? I would like to bring something into people's heart s, be able to touch them, make them feel understood. This is why my spiritual path is so important: I hope one day to be able to tell a stor y of Love, towards ourselves and towards others.
What are some of your favorite experiences so far? All the ones I've done. I don't regret any of them: for better or for worse, each of them showed me a cross-section o f myself, showing me what I wanted to keep and what still needed to be worked on.
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling? A piece of advice to apply in ever y thing in life: Do not be afraid, have courage, passion that comes from the heart and, above all, play endlessly, alwa ys.
What do you think of the magazine? It's a beautiful platform, full of interesting cont ent that gave me the opportunity to tell a little about myself! Thank yo u
