MOISES
How were you discovered?
I was in a shopping center with my parents, and suddenly a man came to suggest me to take part of a modeling contest (he was going to be my future booker). I was 15-16 at that time and I didn´t have idea of the modelling world, but I accepted to take part of it.

What have you learnt from the modelling industry?
I’ve been very lucky with my previous jobs since I’ve been able to develop my skills and learn a lot about myself. The modelling industry is a very competitive world, you can be “Top” today and “Down” tomorrow; you can be nothing today and everything tomorrow. I always say to myself that you have to be at the right place at the right moment, but the key is working hard, being professional and never give up.

I always think of quality and the details of the garments, I cannot stand fashion categorization its something pretentious.

Tokyo, Saint Petersburg, Bucharest.
