11.10.09 MODEL MAKEOVER: VALENTINA
In an ongoing series, we explore the transformative power of fashion with two rising stars of modeling

Valentia Neumeister (FORD NY)

Age: 16

Hometown: Zurich

Discovered: Swiss Elite Model Look 08. Then i went to China for the World Final and got into the Finalists.

Favorite food: I looove chestnuts. Specially the ones you can buy on street at autumn and winter.

Favorite Drink: Chai Tea Latte :)

What is your earliest fashion memory? As a Child I loved to dress up with my friends by wearing my clothes in a uncommun way: The pullover as pants and the pants were our bolero and other funny ideas. Like that we played our own fashion shows. Later I loved to be painted with the make up of an Rhythmic gymnast.

Who is your hero? Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. I admire how he manages his life.

Where do you see yourself in ten years? I'll just have travelled the world and move to the baltic sea. There i'll create a new fashion label with my twin sister Natalja ;)
