NEW FACE MODEL ELAYNA LOPEZ ON EVOLVING, UNIQUENESS, THE OBSESSION OF FAME IN TODAYS GENERATION, INSPIRATION, AND BEING DARING
Kevin Ssab As a model, how have you seen the modeling industry evolve over the years what role do models play in the fashion industry? Elayna Lopez The modeling industry has reached a point where now unusual models with unique features and models with tattoos are being accepted. The role of models is to get the consumer to buy the product. Kevin Being a part of the new generation what is your opinion of the modeling industry? Can you remember the first time you thought about modelingare their things or ways of doing things that models do that inspired you? Elayna This generation is all about people wanting to be seen and famous whether its through TV, movies, modeling, music videos. I believe that adds to why the modeling industry is so diverse now. I thought about modeling when I was 16Im a classical ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dancer so I lived in mirrors and knew how my body worked. And not really, I would say I find my inspiration through art. Kevin Are there designers who inspire you? Elayna Yes, Daniel Palillo, JC de Castelbajac, Jeremy Scott, and Dsquared. Kevin What do you find to be most interesting about your job? Elayna What I find most interesting about modeling is that I can be whoever I want to be in front of the camera based on what type of looks I have on. I enjoy playing dress-up and getting into a character. Kevin How are women exemplified in the modeling industryin what ways are culture representeddoes the modeling industry reveal constructive and positive values for women? Elayna Its a little bit on the iffy side for me. The agencies do not sign a lot of petite or plus sized women and they dont have a big variety of minority models. Where is the realness? Kevin Do you feel as if there are codifications in the modeling industry in terms of belonging? Elayna You just have to know how to work it and be on top of your game! Kevin What message do you feel the modeling industry and fashion magazinesfashion photography communicates? Do you feel as if the commercialism has an impact on the modeling industry? Elayna The goal is to sell the item that the model is modeling to fashionistas who buy these magazines the models are in. Kevin How would you describe your styleis it easy to be so daring? Elayna My style is all over the place sometimes. Im a mix of rock-n-roll, punk, 80 / 90s fly girl / boyish girl meets bombshell greaser chick. I just buy whatever catches my eye / interest and throw it on.
