Hey Isabelle, where are you currently based?

‍I’m from Stockholm, Sweden and now based in Paris.

How did you get into modelling?

I got scouted on Instagram when I was 16. It all started in the DMs.

You're so stunning and project so much confidence - what advice would you give to young women and men who are struggling with body image? ‍

Thank you so much! It’s been a journey and still is, but the main advice I’d give is that you will grow and you can be whoever you want to be. Start loving yourself within and you’ll see that sooner or later you’ll love all of you. It’s a life journey to love all of you but try to hang out with people that see you for who you are and love you for you and you will start doing that too.

What was one of your fav moments at work?

One of my favourite moments was when me and a bunch of stunning and powerful women were shooting for Hara the Label and you could just feel the powerful and loving energy between all of us. It was magical.

You've got beautiful skin - what’s your skincare routine?

‍Thank you! I clean my face with cleansing foam that’s very gentle on the skin. Then I apply eye cream, serum and vitamin c serum. I then add lots of of face cream and finish everything with some face oil.

What song do you have on repeat right now?

‍That would be SWEET by BROCKHAMPTON.

What was the last show OR movie you watched that you loved?

‍Marriage story! It was so special and also so realistic.

“My perfect day would be walking up when my body feels like it, making some oatmeal with a cup of tea and sitting on the sofa with my roommate and talking about life.”

What's your perfect day?

‍My perfect day would be walking up when my body feels like it, making some oatmeal with a cup of tea and sitting on the sofa with my roommate and talking about life. Then I’d go out and feel the sun against my skin, meet friends and go to a cafe and talk all day!
