00:00Representing Colombia was wonderful for me, I am very happy to have done it
00:09I've been able to do this, to remind everyone that there's a Latina here, that there's a
00:14Colombian from San Andrés Islands, from the Caribbean.
00:30Hi, thank you very much. Well, I've actually been doing this casting for a while now, and since 2024 when I did the
00:43The first time they held the casting call, it didn't happen.
00:46The second time I went to Callback, but we didn't get a response, so this time I also had to put in a little more effort.
00:55I traveled to New York.
01:01And this time I went straight to Callback because I'm already the casting director and the creative director of the brand.
01:06They already knew me, they made me walk right away and that same night they called me to confirm my fitting inside
01:17five days and they confirmed it to me.
01:24It was truly incredible what was happening; there was so much activity, they were doing makeup touch-ups,
01:34with hair, putting glitter all over the models' bodies.
01:37It was truly spectacular to be able to experience that.
01:44We, the PIN section, when we were about to leave, Bella Hadid, no, Gigi Hadid came out and told us
01:52Right after she started walking, she told us girls to have fun, have fun, don't be nervous, take a deep breath.
02:02Just let yourselves go, and that's what we try to do.
02:08I just kept thinking, wow, how incredible to be able to experience this, to be able to walk alongside the singers from the group of
02:19K-Pop Gatsai.
02:20It's such a big place, so many guests, so many cameras, so many lights.
02:26I felt like I was floating as I walked and looked at the camera and they were saying, wow, have fun, enjoy it, because this is
02:36an unforgettable experience.
02:47What is the fashion trend?
03:04So when I was little, it was like, wow, those supermodels, how beautiful they look walking for big brands.
03:14And now that I've achieved it, because I never thought this would happen in my life, I don't
03:25I can be more than grateful for this great opportunity that life is giving me.
03:34And keep going and enjoy it as much as possible.
03:43What is the fashion trend?
03:50I've actually been very interested in gastronomy, baking, science, and fashion.
03:59But since that was always in me, I would say, I think I can, so I should do it.
04:08And when I was finishing high school, my mom told me, honey, before you wish for a career, do it.
04:17Try it, try it, I don't know, half a year.
04:19And if it doesn't turn out the way you wanted, that's okay.
04:23So for me, it was really important to have that support from my mom and dad throughout that whole journey
04:30so that I would actually say, well, I'm going to try it.
04:34Why do I have nothing to lose?
04:36If anything comes up, in about six months, I'll do my studies.
04:42And if.
04:47When I was very little, I think like everyone else, I had a different idea of what modeling was.
05:00Not so much the beauty pageant aspect; I saw beauty pageants as a way to also
05:09get there.
05:10But I watched Adriana Lima a lot because of how beautiful she is, because of how incredible she always was when she walked
05:18their parades.
05:19And Giselle.
05:22Giselle Bonche, I find those women incredible and definitely those who are admirable within this industry.
05:33Adriana Lima, wow.
05:35I mean, walking a catwalk with Adriana Lima, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
05:43And I saw her in person and I said, wow, that woman is too pretty, she's too beautiful.
05:48And the clothes they dressed her in for the parade were also very beautiful.
05:52So, this was it, I was, I was, I really couldn't believe it.
06:03The best outfit I've worn on the catwalk so far, I think that's a complicated question.
06:16But I think it would be the one I just did for Victoria's Secret because I felt like a little doll with
06:25the fur jacket and the little top and the shorts and the heels with the leg warmers.
06:35I felt like a little doll.
06:39Yes, very pretty.
06:42And which one I'd most like to use, I really don't know.
06:50Because this job is so creative, I'm truly excited about everyone who puts me on.
06:59Because they are styles that I would never actually dare to use.
07:03But now that I've seen the positions, I like it.
07:07So, there really isn't one, like a specific one.
07:20I think the most important thing is to always remember that a no doesn't mean it's not going to happen.
07:30It's simply a redirection of your life and a reminder that if not now, it can be later.
07:42A no means it will never happen.
07:45And it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what bad things you feel are happening to you.
07:53Everything happens for a reason.
07:57And you have to keep striving to do everything possible, so that you feel you're really doing it too.
08:04for you.
08:06And to be able to move forward within this industry, because it is complicated, it is difficult, it is not easy.
08:14It's not just about putting on an outfit and walking or simply posing.
08:20It's a complicated industry, and I always remind you that you can do it, that you are strong.
08:26It doesn't matter, better things are coming.
08:35My personal style, I think, is very changeable.
08:42I don't have my own style.
08:44I can dress very formally one day.
08:47How can I wear pink mascara, a complete look, white sheer tights with a short skirt and boots
08:58big.
08:59So it's really about how I feel in the moment, expressing myself and enjoying it too.
09:13When I was in high school in San Andrés, I was just walking around downtown like normal.
09:24And I met Juanita, who had a modeling agency in San Andrés.
09:33And she told me to go, to go because she wanted to see me there.
09:40And I, well, I started watching the girls practicing catwalk.
09:46And I was saying, I didn't remember that I would like to do this.
09:51Then I started going and that also motivated me to, hey, I mean, it motivated me to after
10:00graduating from high school
10:01or try it before anything else.
10:11That question...
10:17Rather, I think it would be like advice that no matter the adversities and things I've been taught
10:27in my life.
10:35And I've realized that I've taken advantage, even in the most complicated situations that may arise.
10:47in your life,
10:48You have to do what you can, even if you have nothing.
10:59What do I expect for my career?
11:02No, I don't know.
11:05I'm really excited about what's to come.
11:10I really enjoy everything this means to me.
11:17I simply want to keep growing, I want to keep learning, I want to keep getting to know myself
11:27and to continue living these beautiful experiences so that when I'm, I don't know, 50 years old I'll say, wow,
11:38I really enjoyed it and it was really what I wanted to do.
11:50Representing Colombia was wonderful for me.
11:55I'm so happy to have been able to do it, to be able to remind everyone that there's a Latina here.
12:04There's a Colombian woman here from San Andrés Island, from the Caribbean, and one from Nicaragua too.
12:12because I also lived in Nicaragua.
12:15I grew up in both places really over the course of my entire life.
12:22I spent half my time in both countries, and it makes me happy to be able to remember the girls of Nicaragua.
12:31Listen, we live in a very small country, but if he left, look, I mean, try it.
12:41Even if we don't have many role models to inspire us and help us do our best, it doesn't matter, just keep going.
12:51Keep going, heal from Nicaragua and Colombia, girls, try it, keep going, do everything, investigate,
13:00Learn and strive because yes, you can do it, you can do it.
13:11When they mention my name, I want them to think, I don't know, I want them to remember me for who I am.
13:27because of where I come from and how hard I've worked to achieve all the things I've achieved
13:42up to this point in my life
13:44and also to feel inspired by that and to strive to achieve their own goals and purposes.
