Mona Matsuoka is anything but an overnight sensation. And the hard working model is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Uncertainty might lead you astray, but Mona Matsuoka will testify, it can also make things exciting. The fresh-looking 19-year-old half-Japanese, half-American beauty confessed that she is fascinated by the part of the fashion industry which makes no promises and is as unpredictable as it gets. Her belief that you should grab hold of the here and now, regardless of what lies on the other side, is what enabled her to reach the acme of modelling.
Case in point: when Matsuoka met the age requirement of 16, she wasted no time in sending shock waves across the fashion fraternity with her debut on the A/W 2014 international runways for brands such as Kenzo, Chanel and Miu Miu to name a few. Her career is noticeably gaining momentum. This year, she has already walked in more than a dozen shows, not to mention gracing the pages of numerous prominent publications.
