Saint Laurent said – style is me, what do you think style is?

For me, Style is a way of life. It’s more important than just being good-looking, so I prefer to strive to be stylish rather than just handsome.

Advice for people who want to look stylish, are there any key elements?

Everything starts inside. First of all you must love yourself and your body – that’s very important. There are also a few important details to consider when creating the perfect style. A beautiful haircut that makes your face look good and mixed clothes are important.

Fashion is an essential part of our lives because it reflects who we are and what we value. Even the richest people are influenced by fashion, making it an essential part of our society. Fashion is the number one priority in our lives and we should make an effort to look our best.

Do you still dream of becoming an actor?

Currently, I act in theater and also in the cinema. I have also become a TV presenter, which I am very grateful for. I hope to continue acting in the future and plan to pursue music as well.

Do you have time for hobbies and what are they?

My hobby is going to the gym. I like to work out and keep my body healthy. I don't enjoy playing difficult sports, as they are not my strength. I also enjoy going to clubs and watching Netflix. Right now I am also currently preparing my calendar for 2025. Additionally, I have plans to visit India in the future. This place has inspired me with new ideas.

Three things that are definitely important to you in life.

My dog, Nicole, is an integral part of my life and I can't imagine living without her. She is a part of me. My family. My friends, because without true friends, you can't truly live in paradise.
