MEET OUR MODEL

THE BRIDES ON OUR POPULAR BRIDAL FASHION PAGES PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN EACH ISSUE OF IDO. SO WE THINK THEY DESERVE A PAGE TO SHARE SOME OF THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS AND THAT.

Our model is Frederica Galea and this is her first shoot for IDO.

Where do you live?

I live in Zejtun.

Where elseyou would like to live and why?

If I had to move and live anywhere internationally I would choose Japan. A few years ago I had the opportunity to experience life in Japan for five weeks and I was mesmerized by their culture, norms, and the general approach of Japanese people towards life.

What is the happiest job or career you could have?

During my day-to-day job as a Learning Support Educator, I feel very fulfilled seeing children achieve both academic and life milestones. I am also in my happy place when I am modelling as I get to work with several professionals from all over the industry

How do you like to relax?

In between my studies and full-time job, I like to relax by spending my time with my boyfriend, having a good laugh with my friends, and also with my two pet bunnies.

Who are the people, and/or pets who make you happiest, for whatever reasons?

The people who make me the happiest are my family,especially my mother and father, boyfriend, bestfriends and the students. They all love and support me for who and all that I am. They always manage to make me smile.

What could the world do without, and what does it need more of?

The world would for sure be a better place if terminal illness, wars, hatred and discrimination were to vanish forever and instead manifest as positivity, health, acceptance of one another and most importantly, love.

How do you feel about social media and what do you mostly use it for?

I think that social media can be used both positively and (unfortunately) negatively. I like to use social media to catch up with long-time friends, and frequently to display my portfolio. Social media is a powerful tool, and there are no signs of it slowing down. I have seen first-hand how great social media can be when used correctly, for example shedding light on body positivity. However unfortunately I know how it can negatively impact younger generations when used incorrectly. People behind screens tend to go overboard with what they write, without being aware of the circumstances.
