1. Nathalie, you are a strong and independent girl from the Netherlands who has managed to build a successful modeling career, tell us what inspired you to develop yourself in modeling?

I grew up in a small town on a mushroom farm in the south of the Netherlands. Modeling for me was an opportunity to meet people and to travel the world. It expanded my horizon and I am still grateful that I had the opportunity to meet so many incredible people from all over the world and experience what it was like to live in different countries with different cultures.

2. What is the most difficult and interesting thing in your work?

The most difficult part of the modeling industry is that everyone will have an opinion about you. I needed to learn how to cope with that, as you can never make everyone happy. You can do a lot of castings and sometimes you are just not the type that they are looking for – for a specific campaign. You just need to remind yourself that it isn’t something personal and keep your head up and keep ongoing. All you need is the right people to believe in you or that one ‘yes’ that can change your world.

3. You have an incredibly beautiful photoshoot for L’Officiel India, share with your readers how and where it took place.
