INSIDE THE MODEL LIFE: A CONVERSATION WITH MEGGI NDRIO
What inspired your path in fashion, and how did your journey lead you to the fashion week spotlight?
“Fashion has been a dream since I was a child. I always imagined sharing my style with the world. At 17, with my mom as my biggest supporter, I took the leap and landed my first modeling job in Greece. It wasn’t always easy, but believing in myself helped me push through. After eight intense years, I took a brief break for law school a choice I now treasure, knowing how rare it is to blend academics with a thriving modeling career.”
What keeps you going when things get tough in the industry?
“Not every photoshoot is smooth sometimes the connection with clients or photographers just isn’t there. But being professional means showing up and giving your best, no matter what. Even on tough days, I remind myself that I owe it to the team and the clients. Modeling is about resilience showing strength even when it’s hard.”
