CORE: Which photo shoot was your favorite?
AL: “My favorite photo shoot was with Peter Beard who is one of the world’s most renounced photographers in the world. He discovered Iman; the Super Model from Africa who is married to David Bowie. He is very outgoing, so I had to be very outgoing too during my photo shoot.”
CORE: What was different about living in New York?
AL: The cold weather, it was about 37 degrees; and learning how to get around on the subway to see fashion clients in NY.
CORE: What was most memorable about the whole experience?
AL: One of my most memorable experiences was during Fashion Week in New York; I did a fashion show with the designer Regatta coming out this spring. I loved getting my make-up done by a professional make up artist and wearing amazing clothing on the runway. I was a little nervous at the beginning of the show, but it went away in about 30 seconds, as a walked down the runway. I felt like I was floating on cloud nine.
