Model Dorcas Kasadi (Belgium)<br />
Can you tell us a little bit about you? My name is Dorcas Kasadi. I am a student in<br />
Human Resources and a model. For fun, I also do some acting.<br />
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? Totally nothing –<br />
kidding! In fact, I learned to live with my shortcomings and I remain eager to learn and<br />
extend my limits.<br />
How did you start modelling? I was walking down a street when somebody approached<br />
me and asked me whether I’d like to participate in a casting for a fashion show. I was<br />
selected and had a great, first experience on the catwalk.<br />
What do you think of the work as a model? I’m pretty fond of the fact that you can<br />
evolve so much. Although I already learned a lot, I remain eager to reach my full<br />
potential. I became very comfortable with the audience when I’m on the catwalk, but I<br />
equally like the concentration and intimacy of the photo studio.<br />
What’s your beauty regimen? Nothing too weird, but living an active live with enough<br />
movement, healthy and tasty food. But it’s also a matter of mind and body: I get a lot of<br />
energy from meeting and exchanging with new people, which in turn drives me to fully<br />
give myself when modelling.<br />
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? My androgynous<br />
looks and my height (180cm). Photographers that worked with me add to that my ease<br />
when posing, and the natural elegance and pace of my movements when walking.<br />
What are your plans for the future? I want to finish my studies, after which I want to<br />
pursue a professional modelling career. After that I aspire to start my own business.<br />
What are some of your favourite experiences so far? Doing showroom modelling for<br />
The Kooples in Paris was a great experience, and also the shooting of an add for J.P.<br />
Chenet, the big French wine company. But I equally enjoyed the crowd and atmosphere<br />
of catwalking in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.<br />
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling? Bring a lot of courage<br />
and patience to the party, for modelling is intense and you never know what<br />
opportunities you’ll get.<br />
