At Elite Model Look we say: “your differences make our world”. What makes you different?

My honesty, my willingness to improve, my creativity and my perseverance. 

What is your passion?

I love interior design, I think it’s amazing how you can turn anywhere into an amazing place with good design! I have been a fan for about three years now, I find it really artistic and creative. It takes good imagination to do it well. 

Tell us your favourite…

Inspirational quote: “When there is a will there is a way”

Sport: I play volleyball, and I love to walk. Both are relaxing and help me keep fit.

Actor: Angelina Jolie because she is such an amazing person.

Fashion designer: Elie Saab because I love his work.

Model: I like Cindy Crawford a lot, she seems so nice and she is absolutely gorgeous! 

Do you have a hero who inspires you to succeed?

I love Vera Wang, and I think that she is the proof that we must never give up. Although she make it onto the U.S Olympic figure skating team, she went on to become an editor at Vogue and is now a successful designer.

What is the best holiday you have ever been on?

When I was 9, I spent a month in Canada with my grandparents. It was a wonderful stay everything was new for me. And the most important is that I got to know my grandfather, we became so close. A year later I lost him, so I was grateful for the time we had together.

What’s the best thing anyone’s ever said to you?

“Work makes perfection and you seem to be a hard-worker so never give up!” 

If you could go anywhere in the world – where you haven’t already been – where would you go?

I love Greece for its beauty and mystery. One of my dreams is to have a shoot there! 

How does it feel to be representing Tunisia at the 35th Elite Model Look World Final? 

I’m so happy and proud of myself since it was a dream coming true. I can’t wait to get to know new people at the Elite Model Look World Final. Of course, I would love to win. My family and my friends were there to encourage me to apply, especially mum and dad. I’ve always dreamt to become a famous model, and now I feel like it could become a reality! Elite Model Look has already taught me to be self-confident whatever the situation is.

Tell us about Tunisia!

I am most proud of being from Tunisia for people like Bchira Ben Mrad a Tunisian, a feminist and militant, she founded The Muslim Union of the Tunisian Women and Taouhida ben Cheikh, she is the first Tunisian pediatrician and also the first gynecologist woman of the Arab Muslim world. Tunisia got its independence in 1956, and has a population of nearly 12 million people. It’s known for sandy beaches, tourist resorts, Roman ruins and the Sahara desert, as well as for its peaceful revolution. Azzedine Alaia is from also Tunisia, the famous designer who made amazing creations that celebrated the female body. And Bourguiba was is the founder of the first Tunisian Republic.
